"I wasn't too impressed with Creepy Crawly, but I still liked it for the songs Funeral Drive, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, and Hysterical. (all which more than make up for the somewhat blah songs that make up the rest of the album). Now I was a bit leary about the new album, but I figured there would probably be some one or two nice, creepy songs to satisy my deathrock cravings. What I got instead was what would become one of my all time favorite albums ever! This cd just DRIPS with campy horror/spook/ghost/halloween atmosphere. Lots of ghoulish, morbid humor as well. As for the music itself, it's actually quite original sounding. A witches brew of old school punk, psychobilly, swing, and 50's rock & roll all played with a humorously spooky vibe. This is without a doubt one of the ultimate Halloween rock records. A must for any death rock collection"
