    Album Description

    Great White's sound has more in common with the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, and Led Zeppelin than that of their contemporaries. Great White consists of nearly all original members, the most recent of which has a nine year history with the group. The guitar and vocal team of Jack Russell and Mark Kendall are stronger than ever on this explosive new CD and have a unique synergy, not unlike Plant/Page, Tyler/Perry or Jagger/Richards.

    Truth & Soul is the most focused, most frenetic, and most political album in Fishbone's small but important catalog of ska/metal/funk/punk. They still party on this record (note "Bonin' in the Boneyard") but they also offer some serious doses of reality, and some fierce insight about growing up black in America. Much of the material (including "Slow Bus Movin'," "Ghetto Soundwave," and the potent, hopeful "One Day") was recorded on the 1988 birthdates of Martin Luther King Jr. and Abraham Lincoln. Madcap vocalist Angelo Moore is in good form on Truth, but guitarist Kendall Jones often threatens to steal the show, particularly on the amped-up cover of Curtis Mayfield's "Freddie's Dead." --Michael Ruby

    5 out of 5 stars Why oh why!.......2007-04-29

    Hey I like the Red Hot Chilis as much as anyone else but this band were just as good if not better than them so why are they not up there with them or even at least get 5 minutes of fame like No Doubt? I read on black punks website one of there members did suggest a reason and hey, it doesnt take a genius to work out (It was only realy Living Colour back in the day who made it big)

    Have to say though while latter day Red Hot Chilis have their own style and play it well back a few years and they were just plain average, before Mothers Milk this band blew them away. Fishbone knew how to mix funk, ska, punk and just about everything else and make is come out sounding sweet. Even gave us the added bonus of lyrics that actually meant something (unlike early Chilis)

    You realy need to buy this one, check out 24/7 Spyz as well.

    5 out of 5 stars FULL ON!.......2007-04-23

    This is the mega nut of supreme positive potency, it'll take you a Mighty Long Way from where you started out from in your day-to-day! Energetic and uplifting and crazy. Also soulful and serious. If you like this then try the Chili Peppers' first few albums, and Fishbone's first release, the self-titled E.P. TAKE ME AWAY, SPECIAL K!

    5 out of 5 stars best album by an underappreciated band.......2007-01-18

    is fishbone the great undiscovered band of the 1980s/early 90s?

    this band is so good on so many fronts that it's criminal they are not a household name. this album, in my view, is their best. they should be revered with the likes of the replacements, the red hot chili peppers and husker du.

    few bands have so successfully mixed intelligence, raw punk-funk energy, great musicianship and soul, without ever being pretentious. i saw them live several times and those shows stand out as among the most raw & powerful I ever saw, as good as red hot chilis (but clothed).

    how do you categorize this band? Ska? Funk? Soul? Protest music? Punk? Who cares! It's all there in this disc from the brilliant cover of "Freddie's Dead" to the punk of "subliminal fascism" to the hilarity of "bonin' in the boneyard" to positive protest power of "change."

    4 out of 5 stars Funk it up Fishbone!.......2006-09-12

    Some may not agree, but I call this easily their best album. It should have made them huge. "Truth And Soul" is a wonderful mesh of funk/ska/rock/punk, and usually gets me jumping around the living room. Great lyrics too. Few songs have the energy that "Ma And Pa", "Bonin' In The Boneyard", and "One Day" do. This album is also a must for fans of the old movie "Tapeheads", as this includes "Slow Bus Movin' (Howard Beach Party)" which the soundtrack missed. But it's not all horn-blowing and bass-slapping. "Change" is a beautiful song played on acoustic guitar, that's about making the world a better place for all. Any fan of older Chili Peppers or Bosstones needs to hear this.

    5 out of 5 stars If I could...........2006-06-21

    I would give this cd 10 stars. Fishbone, from go, have been that intense band that EVERYBODY needs to experience. With all of that energy on stage and can still hold the beat! This is the ORIGINAL line-up for the 'Boners. I TRULY miss everyone else (with the exception of Angelo, who continues to hold Fishbone). Even Dirty Walt is gone. I thought he would never leave!. Fish (drummer) is now in Wicked Wisdom with Jada. Kendall's group, Seedy Arkestra, has a cd called Puzzle. Reggae-ish. Nice and mello. Walt has a cd called Dirty Walt and the Sanitation. Funky and dirty. That's all I will say. Rest of the fellers, yo no se? Favorite songs: Slow Movin' Bus (Howard Beach Party), Change, Freddie's Dead, Bonin' in the Boneyard,-Damn, might as well just say the WHOLE cd!

    4 out of 5 stars great funk.......2007-03-24

    just a purely great album of funk, and some of the best bass work you will ever hear.
    One star loss due to too much talking and filler between songs.

    3 out of 5 stars Get infected........2006-11-20

    I'm not sure if one would call this a side-project, or supergroup, but it's a good listen. Members are from other bands such as Suicidal Tendencies, Metallica, and Jane's Addiction among others. To my ears, this basically sounds like a funkier version of Suicidal. I'd say it's a must listen for ST fans. Call it....funk-rock. It a bass slappin', drum poundin', yelling good time. Get it if you see it, as it's out of print at the moment.

    4 out of 5 stars Funkalicious and fun.......2005-06-27

    What happens when you take the bass virtuosity of Rob Trujillo (ex-Suicidal Tendencies, later joined Metallica), the vocal stylings of Mike Muir (Suicidal Tendencies), multiple guest drummers (including Stephen Perkins of Porno For Pyros and studio drummer Josh Freese of Vandals and A Perfect Circle fame), and even more guest guitarists and miscellaneous instrumentalists, throw them into a blender on the 'puree' setting with a gallon of funk and a few quarts of punk/metal?

    You get Infectious Grooves.

    It's funky, it's rocking. It makes you dance and it makes you bang your head. That's what Infectious Grooves is all about.. groovin' and rockin'.

    The strongest element of the album, naturally, is the incredible bass work of one Rob Trujillo. Rob shows his true colors on this album, always laying down the solid groove and occasionally stepping outside of the pocket to display incredible work with both the left and right hands. The guest guitarists on the album are all of a high level of musicianship. The title track has an incredibly sick-sounding guitar solo that is usually only heard amongst the likes of talent such as Steve Vai or John Petrucci.

    The only downfall of the album is that Mike Muir has never been what I would consider a "good vocalist". He is, however, very fitting to the Infectious Grooves sound. The songs are all humorous, both musically and lyrically. Muir does a great job of keeping you laughing, whether it is his classic funk "Hey hey hey's" or the ridiculous lyrics ("You lie.. and yo breath stank.. smells just like.. a septic tank.") The skits, may I add, are amusing the first time around but the novelty quickly wears off. I was also a bit irked that the album ended with a skit track as opposed to an actual song.

    If you like funk and are open to experimentation, I highly recommend this album. Being an individual who has an undying love for both funk and metal, this album is extremely appealing to me.

    I reiterate.. HIGHLY recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars A lost gem in my collection.......2003-12-19

    I'll make this short and sweet: GET IT, IT'S ONLY $4.00!! Being a big fan of Suicidal at the time, I've had this since it came out in 1991. I hadn't listened to it for years, even though I knew it was really good. Well, today I resurrected it, and holy moly it's really good. Super bass funkiness, catchy hooks, addictive riffs, sing-a-long refrains...maybe that doesn't sound good but it really is! And funny too. Like I said, this is a lost gem in my collection.

    5 out of 5 stars Grooooooooooovy.......2002-04-18

    Uauuuu... that's funky man! Funk with heavy riffs. Funny and mostly: groovy!!!!
    In my opinion Sarssipius Ark's is better (the sound quality and mix is better).
    Try to hear "Feed the monkey" or "Stop funk'n with my head". Yeah!! I like it so much!!!!!
    I think all Infetious Grooves CDs are excellent. Buy them if you like funk, metal distortion & riffs and a "bass in your face" sound.

    2 out of 5 stars I won't do what ya tell me!.......2007-06-01

    It's idiotic that they accuse Rage Against the Machine of being hypocrites. How else is Rage going to get their message out there? Just like Morello said they could play to empty squats, but they need to be able to show people whats up. People need to wake up and i guess being endorsed by SONY so that later on, getting your message out could pay off was the idea Rage had. I say Infectious Groves' ideas blow, but the music isn't half bad.

    5 out of 5 stars A drummers perspective.......2005-06-13


    If you like great drummers add Brooks Wackerman to the list.

    High energy, heavy speed metal, double bass, funk. It doesn't get any better than what Brooks does here. He is fluid with great all around technique. Guess it runs in the family. If you are drummer try playing along to this CD! I wish you luck.

    5 out of 5 stars Good God..........2005-04-23

    I recently pulled this out of my 1000+ collection because I wanted something different than the usual crap that comes out now days. I loved this band back in the day, and I have to say that I still find this freaking CD amazing today. It is great music...period. If you don't have this, you should be ashamed of yourself...pick it up immediately.

    5 out of 5 stars Super Dooper.......2000-10-10

    I give out a lot of five star reviews mostly because I only take the time to review the best stuff. This album is wonderful. Though I like the new album Mas Burracho slightly better, It wasn't a large enough gap to drop a star. Everything this band does is great. Though they can in some ways be compared to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Infectious Grooves have a harder edge and a distinct sound. Ignore the bad comments about this one! I happen to be a musician and a lover of old soul, latin, classic rock, jazz, etc. And I'll tell you right now these guys are GOOD! "Die like a Pig" and "Violent and Funky" are my favorite tracks. Bass player Robert Trujillo tears it up like you can't believe!

    I LOVE Fishbone but......Sorry folks...how can ANY true Fishbone fan give this 4 or 5 stars?!?! I would never say it sucks but after the absolute brilliance of the 3 albums that came before it...I'm tempted!!!

    It always did seem like Fishbone was actually 2 bands that got together to jam and, after Kendall Jones and Chris Dowd left, I guess this is what we were left with!!!

    1 out of 5 stars A boring album that doesn't even have the novelty of being Punk or badly-produced.......2006-02-04

    This isn't a bad album per se, but when compared by previous Fishbone albums, Chim Chim falls flat on its face. My favorite song on the album is "Alcoholic," which I later found out the band had been playing live since 1985. No wonder that was the best song. My main beef with this record is the lack of solos and instrumental breaks in the songs. Plus, there are way too many lyrics in the songs, which drag on forever. Aside from "Alcoholic," the rest of the songs are unmemorable, except for "Riot," which is a hardcore-esque throwaway song (nice way to alienate white listeners, guys). Some people here have said this album has an underproduced Punk feel, which is one of the falsest things I've ever seen written about a Fishbone album. Aside from the gimmick song "Riot," this album is a meandering pot-infused Rock and R&B album. It doesn't even have the novelty of being badly-produced.

    Get any Fishbone album before this one. I suggest their self-titled debut, which is their most consistent record (all the songs are great). The rest of Fishbone's albums from In Your Face up 'til Give a Money a Brain are a mixed bag; there are a few amazing songs alongside many lackluster ones. Aside from one good song, the only badass thing Chim Chim boasts is some awesome album artwork, so when you sell this CD to a friend for a nickel, be sure to keep the inlay.

    3 out of 5 stars ONE MONKEY DON'T STOP NO SHOW.......2005-03-14

    Comically angry, abrasive, and a bit cluttered "Fishbone" album is not without the cool whimsey, genuine social comment, and tight ska-rock-soul musical excellence that is Fishbone, a band that gets more respect than it does recognition for their powerhouse rocking assault on the ears and for staying true to their original concept; great music and something philosophical about a fishbone. I love the hard rock edge, the ska horns, and Angelo Moore's political, wild and crazy guy poet's rants and raves. Here we have Chim Chim the monkey, a metaphorical Fishbone, joyfully lashing out at social disorder, white rock and roll guys (with tvs in their ears and eyes), the pressure to hip-hop, and happy-go-lucky substance abuse; the song "Alcoholic" really sounds like a walk from the bar to the alley and back to the bar. Fishbone create a real homey, family insider feeling for the listener, one feels a part of this not hip-hop but not without bop alternative musical ensemble. Chim Chim, however, like a pet monkey gone violently beserk, needs a few sessions in anger management as some of these songs go on just a bit too long, like Angelo Moore is really, really mad about something.

    5 out of 5 stars CHIM CHIM'S BAD@SS REVENGE (1996).......2005-03-06

    The problem with this album wasn't Fishbone's. It was mine, and mine alone. And when I finally understood and got past that problem, this album became one of the best Fishbone albums they released, despite sound quality or diminished band members.

    My disappointment came first with opening up the Cd on day of release, and finding two members of the band missing, Kendall Jones and Chris Dowd. It truly made my heart sink, because Fishbone up until that point had retained all its original members for more than 10 years. And often, as is the case, when people start jumping ship, it means the boat is sinking. Well, at least that's the purported case with rats, I've never been on a ship to know if it's true. This original disappointment persuaded me to not give the album a chance, and it was a mistake that has been corrected. It took me some years to do, but I get this album now, and everything that's being said on it. It's nearest equivalent in overall message is 1991's The Reality of My Surroundings.

    The 1996 Chim Chim Fishbone were: Angelo Moore (Vocals / Sax), Walter Kibby II (Vocals / Trumpet), John Bigham (Guitar - before Fishbone he was with Miles Davis), and brothers Phil Fisher `'Fish'' (Drums), and Norwood Fisher (Bass / Vocals). All songs were credited to Fishbone as a whole for the first time, apart from `Pre Nut' and `Chim Chim's Bad@ass Revenge co-written with executive producer Dallas Austin.

    CHIM CHIM is an album that does have to be taken song by song, track by track, because it is worthy of any description of its contents.

    Intro -
    `'It's the coming of the Digital Freak Swing Vs. Ape Kills Master. If you try you will catch on''. Spoken piece announced by a security alert horn. The aim and purpose of Fishbone's Chim Chim is documented before you even hear one song.

    Chim Chim's Bad@ss Revenge -
    `'Running the stop sign to get your peace of mind'' - Opens like a cowboy's lament, while Angelo Moore welcomes you to the proceedings like an old, irritable drunk on stage. Which then goes into kickstart jump up thrash metal. Not as stereo as it could be, the rest of the album doesn't sound like this. Maybe that was the plan. The bass, and guitars are the equivalent of Mono, the drums are in Stereo. Why? Who knows. Chim Chim knows.

    In The Cube -
    `'With no question, and no testin' of no one's wits or individuality'' - The 8 minute 32 second slow Ska / Jazz / Funk workout. Points out the error of all of our ways, even when our intentions are good.

    Beergut -
    `'But the gut snuck up while he wasn't lookin'' - Dedicated to the beerdrinker and hellraiser. Pure chaos all the way through, but what happens at the end of this song as Fishbone becomes a musical train is quite phenomenal. That train would speed past the station so fast, you'd have no hope of catching it. `'Next stop - Corn Liquor, Wines and Spirits.''

    Interlude 1 - Band Introduction and History of Fishbone to date. Jawbone solo!

    Psychologically Overcast -
    `'Cause the clouds are in your mind'' - Features Busta Rhymes. Should have been the single, if one ever were to be released. Funk Metal.

    Alcoholic -
    `'With an Eight for a Chaser'' - Dedicated to the Winos, Junkies and Drunks, opens with Reggae, slips into Punk Ska, with a brief second of Funk. Absolutely as funny as Angelo found it halfway through.

    Love ... Hate -
    `'Love and Hate too close for most but Revenge can make it even'' - Opens with Swing Metal Blues, into Ska. Probably the album's defining piece, certainly one of its high watermarks. 6.44m of pleasure.

    Interlude 2 - Update of the Chim Chim story.

    Riot -
    `'Treat your customer crazy, they gonna act crazy'' - Total thrash punk. Reasons for riot.

    Monkey Di©k -
    `'Get me soap and water'' - Frenetic, crazy chaos blues at 90mph, until the chorus. This is the song that woke me up to how good this album actually was. I heard everything differently, and I understood what was going on, once I got past my own blockade. Includes the first use of the Theremin on a Fishbone album. Lev Sergeivitch Termen who invented it in 1917, would be proud. I think? It was used on a song called what???

    Sourpuss -
    `'You got that clench jaw scrunched snawz look'' - The music is actually sour. And that is very hard thing to do, actually making the music reflect the topic matter. Like sucking a lime for 7 minutes and 13 seconds. Minnie The Moocher all frowned out til it gets funked up at the end.

    'Rock Star -
    `'Wreck your hotel room, catch a Lear Jet, stay in debt. Manic depressed.'' - A brutal indictment on racism and ego in the music industry, and what Fishbone encountered trying to release their music to the mass. Enters like the Fishbone train that left the station in `Beergut', going 100 miles per hour.

    Pre Nut -
    Precursor to the final track. Da' Blues, with Soul.

    Nutmeg -
    `'The time is now for you to be the beast'' - Opens like a bizarre Cecil B. DeMille epic he never filmed, if he had also acknowledged there aren't many Caucasian people, if at all, hanging around ancient Mesopotamia. Twisted Snake Charming Metal. Fish, their drummer, has his say about the Nutmeg in the finale.

    This album stands as a document and diary of one of America's most important bands, who mixed almost 100 years of African-American musical culture into one form, called Fishbone. Purchase the album just to say `I own a Fishbone album'.

    2 out of 5 stars "Chim Chim" ain't where it's at.......2004-08-26

    I agree when it comes to evaluating this Fishbone album that it's their worst release compared to everything else they've done. But it honestly doesn't bother me because I know I'll always have all the Fishbone albums that I love (like the magnificent "Truth & Soul") to go back to. So what if I don't like "Chim Chim"?! Plenty of other people out there do. It's true that the quality of "Chim Chim" is on par with that of an unmixed demo or fan-made bootleg, so be extremely careful if you're looking for the same high-quality gloss found on "Truth" and "Reality of My Surroundings", because "Chim Chim" ain't where it's at.

    5 out of 5 stars R&B at it's best.......2006-02-13

    Uncle Sam was a very talented singer who never fully got the recongtion he deserved. With his self titled debut Sam took it back to what true R&B should be. Standout tracks include Someone Like You,his cover of Tender Love and the lead single I Don't Ever Want To See You Again.

    5 out of 5 stars Need some of this R&B Back........2005-09-27

    We definately need some of this R&B back. Some of that ol' skool. Great ol' R&B is like Boys 2 Men, Jodeci (K-Ci & JoJo), Next, Tyrese, Case, RL, etc. Slow Jams R&B is really great, some of the up-tempoed R&B songs are good, but I love the Slow beats, y'know. Get's you really thinking.

    5 out of 5 stars What Happened to Uncle Sam?.......2005-03-26

    5 out of 5 stars The Project's Production Coordinator..........2004-09-18

    I was actually looking up something online when the reviews from Amazon came up during my search... I went ahead and read them and it touched me that this album has not only touched a few of you, but became what many of the writers had hoped... timeless... Here we are seven years later and you are still buying it. Although the label (Stonecreek Recordings) is now no more, and from what I understand Sam tried with an independent label since (I am not sure on what is happening), this was an amazing experience for me... I know it was for Sam... and especially Boyz II Men. I was just talking to one of my best friends about the MANY tracks that did not make the album... there are so many that supercede the eleven tracks on here... "Can You Feel It"... "I Don't Ever Want to See You Again"... and "Baby You Are" were all great singles and again, I would like to thank you all on behalf of those involved for your positive feedback. No I am not still working with the guys, but again, this project was one we were very, very close to. There were a few artists to come out of the Creek through Boyz II Men, but Uncle Sam kicked it off... and it was amazing how the second single "I Don't Ever Want to See You Again" took off! I remember the first time we all saw Sam perform it... there was not a dry eye in the place... We wanted to find whoever sparked that emotion out of him and beat her down! LOL And Nathan Morris did an OUTSTANDING job with this particular song. Well I could spend forever going down memory lane, but I won't. I just wanted to let you all know that people do read these reviews and again, on behalf of everyone involved... THANKS! (and no I don't get a penny from the product or endorsing it, LOL... I just thought it was good too! I STILL listen to my copies! LOL)

    4 out of 5 stars Bring Out A Second Album.......2004-05-21

    This album is tight. Had this album since it dropped in '97' and it still gets played. Just keep the album on for every track. No weak links here. Hot tracks are #1 #2 #4 #5 #7 #9 #11. My favourite song is #9 Baby You Are which is a Boyz 2 Men type love ballad. Bottom line is, that if you like Boyz 2 Men then I promise you will love this joint. Buy it if u aint got it!

    How can one go wrong? If there is a way to do so with this release, I don't know about it. Let these positive vibes bore into your skull. This E.P. holds one of the most positive optomistic upbeat vibe songs that I've personally ever heard, gets me stoked, which is "? (Modern Industry)" but you can't really tell this from the short clip here on Amazon, you've got to hear the whole song.

    5 out of 5 stars ENERGY!.......2006-06-21

    Just as on the cover of the record, ENERGY! Keyboards flyin', Saxs' flailin', jumpin', divin', spinnin', these brothas' never stand still! I saw them perform @ Roseland, NYC in 198??? I don't remember what year but I was frightened when I left the show. Eyes bugged out, 'fro discombobulated, couldn't walk straight. I should have called EMS on myself! My friend and I were both in high school when (I think it was) MTV played the video. Nope, sorry, it was Ralph McDaniels and Video Music Box. "Hey dude----What's Token"? ?(Modern Industry) was the song. They named lots of radio stations in the US. Great, energetic songs!

    4 out of 5 stars Solid EP. We need more music like this!.......2005-08-14

    I've owed The Reality of My Surroundings a few years now (it has the best songs I've ever heard from a non-mainstream band), and have heard the hits off Truth & Soul. I went to buy that CD from the used record store down the street, but they didn't have it, so I got Fishbone's s/t album instead. I had heard "Party at Ground Zero" before, and I've even seen the music video (crazy footage of the band and friends wearing fish heads while anticipating a nuclear war). Anyway, I loved the song with the video, but it's too repetitive without something visual to accompany it. It's still a good song (along with the rest), but I like a prefer many of the others more. My favorites are "Modern Industry" (where Fishbone salute their local radio stations as well as foreign ones from Sweden), the cool and laid-back "Another Generation", and the very funny "Lyin' Ass Bitch" (at first, I didn't realize the lead on the song was female and thought it was Angelo playing around).

    4 out of 5 stars Classic EP.......2003-05-27

    Fishbone began their career correctly with this smoking EP. "Ugly" is a good song, with the sophmoric lyrics that pop up at least a couple times per every Fishbone disc. "Another Generation" is a good midtempo song which songs Fishbone's more serious side, "?" is a disposable novelty, "Party At Ground Zero" is a rock classic, truly a seriously great party song. "V.T.T.L.T.F.D.G.F" is a good rock song, and "Lying" is a funny ska song to close things out.

    4 out of 5 stars BONE IN THE USA.......2002-10-31

    Truly Bone in the USA, I go back to 1986 with this CD to my days as a DJ for my college radio station. I took it to the next level seeing Fishbone live three times from Raleigh, NC (Hot 'lanta) to St. Louis, MO (Mississippi Nights). I was taken by the fact that they were something I had longed for all my life, a black band that was not afraid to rock.....Blending rock, reagge/ska and funk with irreverent socio-political undertones this band can best be described as an American equivalent of Madness. Going one step further and giving them their full credit every band which has followed (Living Color, Mighty Bosstones, No Doubt and Red Hot Chili Peppers) all trace their roots back to this EP.

    4 out of 5 stars Tremendously Underrated Cannibal..........2007-03-30

    Is this their best album? No. However, for sheer creativity, it is certainly one of their best (even surpasses "Kill" for me). "Bloodthirst" is in the running for 2nd best CC album ever (after "The Bleeding," of course) with "The Wretched Spawn" and "Kill." It's hard to say which I like the best, because they're all so good. "Bloodthirst" is solid all the way through, which can't be said of albums such as "Gore Obsessed" or "Gallery of Suicide" (the band's weakest two albums). If you love death metal, or any type of hard metal, you will love "Bloodthirst," end of story. Buy it now!

    5 out of 5 stars The way death metal should be.......2006-09-05

    I'll admit I listen to a lot of heavy music, but I'm not too big into death metal. Cannibal Corpse for me though is a favorite that I can't just pass up. I've heard a lot of death metal bands, a lot of them sounding alike and very much the same, and some kinda weak. Corpse is the exception. Fast, pummeling, energetic, each album: a soundtrack to a riot. Real death metal. The guitars lacerate, the vocals courtesy of George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher chew you up and spit you out, and the drums and bass pound you into dust as the title of the first song on this album suggests, no pun intended. Every musician shines on each release including guitarists Pat O'Brien and Jack Owen (his spot currently being occupied by Rob Barrett), and bassist Alex Webster.

    Bloodthirst is certainly not THE best album, but it is a keeper for sure if you're like me and you're just starting to really listen to the band.

    4 out of 5 stars Bloodthirst Is Everything Death Metal Should Be (For Beginners).......2006-06-01

    Of course, if you have ever listened to any death metal then you have heard of Cannibal Corpse and how disgusting they are and blah blah blah. All of this is absolute B.S. George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher grunts his way through this whole CD and you can't understand him 95% of the time. Bloodthirst is by far not Cannibal Corpse's best release, but it sure is heavy, fast and catchy. It is said that "Hammer Smashed Face" is CC's most mainstream song. That makes absolutely no sense since Chris Barnes moans and grunts even more indecipherable vocals than Fisher. I think a good song for a CC newbie might be "The Spine Splitter" or "Blowtorch Slaughter." Bloodthirst begins with "Pounded Into Dust" and then the record takes off from there, never letting up in intensity. Every song is very good. CC has improved very much over the years. The guitar playing is superb, the bass is in time and quite audible, the drumming has got to be some of the best in the business. It is so ridiculously fast and pounding. Vocals are very good, but I have to admit if you're not used to the gutteral grunting of grinding death metal it begins to grate on you ears. I highly reccomend Bloodthirst as a starting point for all CC newbs. It is like a break-in CD, onve you like tghis CC becomes a lot more likeable. And for all of the dumbasses who review Cannibal Corpse with 1 star I wish you would just go back to revirwing Coldplay, U2 and Green Day. One guy labeled himself as a Rock/Metal fanatic and then went on to give several CC, metallica, Slayer, Slipknot and Morbid Angel releases one star. After clicking his reviews button you find that he is really into techno and easy listening [...]. Good God. Cannibal Corpse Rocks, buy this album!

    3 out of 5 stars Like Other Reviewers Have Said..........2006-02-04

    ... this is a solid Cannibal Corpse album, but offers nothing new or particularly invigorating. Everything sounds great: production, musicianship, vocals. All the tracks are entertaining. "Pounded into Dust", "Dead Human Collection", "Unleashing the Bloodthirsty" and "Blowtorch Slaughter" being the best tracks. Unfortunately there are no tracks of the magnitude of say "Hammer Smashed Face", "Staring Through the Eyes of the Dead" or "Devoured by Vermin". As such this is an entertaining but non essential record by the band. Newcomers should start off with "Tomb of the Mutilated", "The Bleeding" and "Vile". "Live Cannibalism" is also a good place to start.

    3 out of 5 stars Meh..........2005-12-04

    This particular Cannibal Corpse album sounded uninspired and formulaic to me, plus there was not enough variation in the song structures. If i remember right it was just WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!(end song),(next song)WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! and so on, and so on, until they had enough songs for an album. This one got SOLD! I much prefer Gallery of Suicide (their best imo) and Gore Obsessed.

    I orginally bought this CD as a "jab" Christmas gift for my philandering ex husband; unfortunately, he liked it. His comment? "I never heard any of THESE songs in a strip bar; if I HAD, I would have gone more often!" Ha Ha! But really, this is a fun collection of songs that are really hard to find anywhere else; after all, do you want to own a WHOLE CD of the DeVinyls just to hear "I Touch Myself"? Break out the pole and have fun with it!

    4 out of 5 stars Fun and Sexy.......2003-03-02

    I couldn't resist this album, especially when I saw I Touch Myself on there. There were a few songs I wasn't that familiar with, but overall, the songs are a lot of fun.

    5 out of 5 stars RIGHT OFF THE STAGE (W/THE GIRLS!!!!).......2002-07-18

    This from someone who has used quite a few of the songs on stage when she used to dance. It's great and easy for you dj to use just 3 cds to get most of your music. It is a must have collection to have all three strip jointz cds. Everyday music that IS "sexy"

    4 out of 5 stars Funny concept, great album.......2001-07-31

    I saw this in the record store and had to stop and look at it. You've got to be kidding me, right? An album of strip club rock hits? Then I turned it over and read what was on it. Well, sure enough, they were all sexy songs but ... this was a really good compilation album.

    It's been played more or less constantly since I've picked it up a few days ago. For rockers (or just would-be rockers) with a sense of humor, this is definitely worth picking up.

    (And, frankly, more embarassing than having an album of strip club tunes is the fact that I now own some Motley Crue ... ack!)

    3 out of 5 stars Fun cd.......1999-06-23

    This collection of songs is a lot of fun. I'd never heard the Motorhead song on here before, and I have to say that it smokes.

    Album Description

    One of Britain's best-loved and most notorious rock bands, The Wildhearts are about to take their rightful place as one of the most electrifying outfits anywhere in the world. Riff After Riff is the bands first Stateside release since their seminal debut Earth Vs. The Wildhearts in 1993. Since then The Wildhearts have garnered a large and loyal fan base in the U.K., Australia and Japan, and recent tours with The Darkness and Motorhead have only enhanced their reputation as one of the greatest live bands ever. They must be seen, they must be heard, and clearly nothing can stop them!

    3 out of 5 stars Go with Earth vs. The Wildhearts.......2004-04-13

    Doesn't hold a candle to Earth vs. the Wildhearts. Similar in style and content but there is something missing. Can't put my finger on it. These guys still don't know when to end a song. Sometimes when they span several different styles in a song it's a bit too schizophrenic. And what's up with the second song?

    5 out of 5 stars Still Rocking As Hard As Ever.......2004-03-21

    There are certain things you can always count on and one of them is that The Wildhearts will continue to produce albums that rock. The songs are catchy, the riffs are memorable, and it's all about having a good time. Hopefully, their opening slot for the current Darkness tour will introduce the band to many new fans. For those of us who have been around from the start we can always rely on them to deliver the goods.

    5 out of 5 stars Back In the US!.......2004-03-17

    When I first heard about this release I was super excited. The Wildhearts are truly one of the greatest hard rock acts of all time, and practically no one in America has even heard of them. This Wildhearts 'album' is their first to be released in America since their debut WAY back in '93. Due to that, they are also finally again touring the US. This 'album' is really a compilation of b-sides from the singles from their last album [although not a comprehensive one, more on that later...]. Most fans I've spoken with seem to agree that throughout their career, Wildhearts b-sides are some of their best songs. Although I by no means dislike their latest album - 'the Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed' - I feel the album lacks in comparison to these incredible b-sides [many criticize the new album for being too 'lite' and 'poppy'; overall the b-sides are a bit harder and more aggressive, although there are exceptions]. To make matters cooler - this contains a track previously only availaable on vinyl - "Return to Zero" (* I had to edit this review to note that sadly, this song sounds AWFUL on the CD, and many fans have noticed - I'm still keeping the 5 star rating tho, as this is not a reflection of the quality of the band or their music, just a bad, BAD job done by Gearhead, which breaks my heart to say). Also, this collection is available [although not on Amazon] on limited edition color vinyl. The only thing that does take away some of the excitement in regards to this release is an import that will be available in a couple weeks - A collection entitled "Coupled With", which includes ALL the b-sides from the last album (except for a track that was only available on vinyl called "Dancin' (Instrumental)", but to be honest this is really no loss). Still, if you want to be introduced to one of the greatest bands of all time for a good price, this is a great place to start.

    5 out of 5 stars The Wildhearts are back!!!!!!!!.......2004-03-10

    After more than a decade since their last U.S. release (Earth Vs. The Wildhearts, 1993)it is great to see the greatest band in the WORLD have a new (and most deserved) U.S. record deal. This album is absolutely great, and if you are a die-hard Wildhearts fan, chances are you already have all the songs on this album, if you're not you should be after listening to any of these songs. "Looking For The One", "Lake of Piss", "Better Than Cable", and "Bang!" are the true stand out tracks here, and the coolest part is that they, along with every other track (excluding "Stormy" on this record are B-sides. That should tell you the quality of this band. What other band could release an album of B-sides and have it be half as good as this record is? None!!! Every track could and should be an A-side! Not to mention it is great to finally have "Return to Zero" (originally a vinyl only B-side) on CD. There are I feel some glaring omissions including their ripping version of "Cheers" and "You Got To Get Through What You've Got To Go Through To Get What You Want, But You Got To Know What You Want To Get Through What You Got To Go Through", however all in all I feel that the Wildhearts have released another amazing album as a whole. If you like the Darkness (The Wildhearts gave them their first huge break) then you will LOVE The Wildhearts. Check out this album, I promise you won't be dissapointed!!!
