CD Reviews

The Groovy Barracudas!!
Pops | Aurora, CO | 05/27/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Garage, Power Pop and Surf, mix in the sound of the Flamin' Groovies with the Beach Boys and you can see how they were ignored in 1980.

This may be the best CD you don't already own!!"
One of the great forgotten albums of all time!

"Do not listen to the review that gave it only one star! I have owned this album since the 1980's and I NEVER get tired of it. If you like the surf and hot rod tunes of the early 1960's, you'll love the upbeat songs. The darker tunes draw you in and remind you that all is not rosy and about surf and sun. What a fantastic contrast, and one that keeps the record from becoming boring! The guitar riffs are all either rocking or haunting, and are easily memorable. The band manages to take a very limited sub-genre--surf music--and turn it into a varied tapestry of similarly styled, but constantly fresh sounds. There is even some humor. I cannot recommend this album enough. If you love surf music, but think the Beach Boys were a little wimpy, YOU WILL LOVE IT. If you love good ol' rock and roll, YOU WILL LOVE IT. If you love Sixties garage rock bands like the Knickerbockers, Count Five, et al, you will love it. Every song is good, and every song is memorable. It took a long time for me to admit it, since my favorite song is by another artist, but I believe 'Drop Out with the Barracudas' may be my favorite album of all time. It certainly has survived many changes in my musical taste. Buy it just out of curiosity: but buy it! You will love it! Don't take comparisons to the Flamin' Groovies too seriously: I've heard the Groovies and this band is WAY better. My one criticism is that the record has been reissued so many times that the songs do not always run in the same order and often do not have exactly the same track listings. Buy this one and you get all the songs, the B-sides, and some rarities. I just finished ordering a "spare" copy; I don't want to be without this record if my "play" copy gets too badly scratched to play. This is my 'desert island disc' for sure."
