Editorial Reviews

A no-fuss fourth album that plays to the band's strengths--a relaxed vibe woven with a bluesy brand of southern rock that blends Lynyrd Skynyrd with Led Zeppelin. "Strategem," "Neckbreaker" and "Candle 99" are highlights. --Jeff Bateman

5.0 out of 5 stars Peerless bluesy rock, August 23, 1999

By A Customer

BHT are one of those rare things - a band who can create consistantly excellent albums without being repetitive or gimmacky. "Neckbreaker" is one of those songs you can play over and over yet never grow tired of. This album shows a little more acoustic guitar layered in beneath Todd's expected fine electric guitar, but the sound remains pure and simple. How a three-piece can creat such wonderfully rich sound to go with their interesting lyrics, soulful singing, and great grooves I'll never know. Buy this if you appreciate excellent, mature, but never overproduced or bland rock and roll.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sound of the 90's, April 7, 2006

By	S. Enriquez (Sheboygan, WI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Big Head Todd and The Monsters.......
What a name.. What a sound.. Theirs,to me,was one of the sounds that definitely defined the 90's. A VERY influential time in my life. JUST hearing Todd's distinct voice and that strat take me back a looooooooooong time.. Kind of a folksy/bluesy thing going on...
I agree that they should be bigger than what they are.. They never got HUGE but to me that doesn't matter.. To me they are huge.. There is so much JUNK out there these days it is UNBELIEVEABLE.. Music IS always a matter of personal taste. I don't know what to say that might influence you to buy this disc. Listen to the clips and make your decision.. I just love these guys.

5.0 out of 5 stars Put Simply, Best Band of the Past Two Decades!!, February 2, 1999

By A Customer

Mohr is one of the best writers. It saddens me to see that in all the years BHTM has been playing they are not bigger than they are now. But that is also good, because they are one of the best bands to see live, and small venues are always the way to see a great band. This album is one of BHTM's best album's. I suggest getting any of their CD's and you will not be sorry for diong it (Except "Another Mayberry").
