Ok fair warning, I’m going to offer up some criticism of this album. But it’s not what you think because I do not fault the band. In fact the band is excellent. They have tons of talent and a sound that I can only describe as Funk Rock. Some of the tracks have a more mainstream 90’s sound but some of them are really creative. Now for my criticism all of which I lay clearly at the feet of the record company. R.E.X. Records was known as an artists record company in that they really catered to the artist. Unfortunately this is a recipe for disaster as a record company and yes R.E.X. did go bankrupt. This album is a prime example. Dumb band name and even stupider album name. Funny band names work in certain genres but this is not one of those genres. This band had a seriously good sound so the record company should have stepped in and been a record company and told them the goofy stuff was a poor choice. They also actually released the album with 7 tracks over 4 minutes long. Let’s be clear, it’s damn near impossible to get a radio station to play a song over 4 minutes and usually the producer of the album steps in and lays down the law on track length but again the record company supported the artist instead of being a record company. Okay I’ve been bashing pretty good but lets return to the album. It is excellent and the production is really good. I’m guessing you will enjoy it and put aside the problems the album has.
