5.0 out of 5 stars Flat out album of the year thus far!!!!, April 22, 2003

By A Customer

Having bought and loved both of the first two albums by the Deadly Snakes, I rushed out to get this one the day of realease. I have to admit, however, that I had prepared myself to be a little let down - after all, how many bands get better as they continue? Well, I'm VERY pleased to say that's exactly what has happened with the Deadly Snakes - this is by FAR their best album to date. They've married their love of garage rock, soul, blues and gospel more perfectly here than any band since the Rolling Stones circa 1972. I would also go on to say that it would benefit any one exploring the current crop of new "garage rock" bands to pick this up right away - the likes of the D4, Datsuns, Von Bondies, ect don't hold a candle to this group.

5.0 out of 5 stars Toronto's bravest branch out, November 25, 2005

If the Deadly Snakes ever come to your town, you better go. You owe it to them. I've often wondered how their 6 piece band, complete with horns are able to eat while touring given the small dives I've seen them in. It used to be, for me, that anything produced by Greg Cartwright drew my attention (still true, check out the second Horrors record on In The Red records), but while I came for Greg Cartwright, I STAYED for the Deadly Snakes. Dark and frantic, it's not garage and not quite soul either...the D. Snakes are hard to pin down for somebody and eventually you have to stop trying. To quote an old gospel song, they live the life they sing about in their songs. You owe it to them to pay to see them, you owe it to yourself to see one of the best live bands in the world right now.

Buy "I'm Not Your Soldier Anymore" and "Ode To Joy" and "Porcella" and "Love Undone". Buy the Reigning Sound CDs too. All those CDs are on In The Red Records and they all slay dragons and fatten frogs for deadly snakes.
