SOUL!!
18 Sep 2003
Format:Audio CD
Yikes! This IS modern rock'n'roll baby! All sexed up, dressed up and messed up!! Extra Width whips it on ya with solid soul-punk power that should get yo' sorry butt motivatin' on the dance floor and home in bed. Mr Spencer and the boys don't give a darn what people in the lame, traditional, conservative "blues" scene think of them, they just wail on it. This album still stands up as THE blues/punk masterpiece. The Jon Spencer Blue Explosion wrote the book ( well, almost ) on minimalist blues sludge and pushed the envelope of the genre while Jack and Meg were still tryin' to coordinate their wardrobe!

5 years and still the champ
1 Jun 1998
Format:Audio CD
Spencer and Co. put the serious WHOMP! on your a** with this, their second and still finest recorded moment. From the double dipped bounce of the opening strains of "Afro" straight through to the libidinous "World of Sex," get your hankies at the ready- cuz you are most definitely going to sweat. More potent than viagra, louder than a sack of wet, mean cats, and twice as onry. This is the razorblade funk that you know you need more of in your life. When Jon and Judah trade off shouted choruses of "DAMMMNNNN!!!" you'll know exactly what they're hollerin' about- and you too, will have seen the light.
Another great JSBX disc.
17 Jan 2005
Format:Audio CD
This is early, raw JSBX here. The sound is very upfront and intense.
Suprsingly, a large number of the songs are just instrumentals, mainly just vamps. But Russell is deep in a groove, and Jon lets it rip too.
Things aren't quite as focused as on later JSBX records, in fact most of the songs have little direction. But that's what makes this one so great. You cut out the middle and great straight to the rock.
Because the blues are number one. But he don't play no blues. He plays. Rock and Roll.
