Album Review

WTF? Did someone slip some noise reduction equipment into the studio when Guitar Wolf were out combing their 'dos. This album, though it still consists of primal, reductionist three-chord rock that the Swedes and the one-word-name bands of recent vintage also love so much, lacks that layers-of-audio-crud production that has been such a big part of their appeal. (If you don't believe that after listening to this CD, check out "Jet Generation" in the CD library.) Mitigating factors - 1) they sing in Japanese, not broken English, this time; 2) there's a badass-posed photo of the band on every page of the booklet.

Track 9 is a bluesy workout. Otherwise the tracks are raw rock played fast and loud, just like Link Wray and Johnny and Joey would have it played.
