ONE OF THE BEST HARD ROCK ALBUMS I'VE HEARD

"At first I decided to entertain the thought of listening to this record just to see what kind of [music] Nicke Andersson (original and founding member of Entombed) had been doing since his great but short lived death metal carreer. I am more than pleasantly surprised. Hearing this the first time around I knew that this album would be a critical addition to my collection of CDs which is very eclectic. This album has a very 70s rock feel to it something that you really don't hear any other modern rock bands attempt or for that matter pull it off like these guys. You can definitely hear some old Alice Cooper, Kiss, maybe even some Lynard Skynard sounding guitar solos. Anyways if you like the sound of 70s rock n'roll then the Hellacopters will blow you away. This is easily my new my new favorite album (for the time being...)"

"Awesome Album! What I love about this group is their ability to combine the hard nosed, heavy approach of the MC5-Stooges with the catchy, pop sensibilities of the Ramones-70's punk. The songwriting is in great shape. I think in some ways the addition of Dahlquist, the tutelage of Scott Morgan (Sonic's Rendezvous Band)and the keyboard work of Bobba Fett has brought this group's abilities up a notch. In some ways, they have come very close to what the Aussie group Radio Birdman was achieving in their sound. I love it and you will to."

"Only the second Hellacopter's release I've ever heard,the first was 'Cream Of The Crap,Vol.1'(see my review).Good Swedish heavy rock,that's basically played Michigan/three chord old school rock&roll style.Their influences were apparently the likes of the Stooges,MC 5,Pink Fairies,maybe Motorhead,possibly The Melvins.Tracks I was most impressed with were "Hopeless Kind Of Kid","Sometimes I Don't Know","Throw Away Heroes" and "Hurtin' Times".Should appeal to fans of Mooney Suzuki,Jet,Circle Jerks,D.R.I. and Cro-Mags."
