Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

On the cover of I Get Wet, Andrew WK appears as the quintessential New York City rock & roll star: an iconic, bloody-nosed Neanderthal with a mop of greasy hair plastered over his face. At first glance, you'd swear he was the star of some new ad campaign, dabbling in metal's aesthetics for some ironic thrill. But then, you notice that look of steely determination in WK's eyes. And then you hear this debut album and you realise that, miraculously, this 21-year-old has turned out the best old-skool rock & roll record in living memory. It sounds something like Van Halen brawling with the Beastie Boys circa Licensed to Ill, with Elton John hammering away at the piano and Mötley Crüe spiking the drinks: a 12-track collection of undiluted rock maximalism that owes nothing to any supposed lo-fidelity "punk" ethic, and absolutely everything to the power of a great tune and a crate of beer. The priceless first single "Party Hard" lays out the manifesto, but there's much more where that came from: the rock-operatic "Ready to Die", the decadent blast of "Party 'til You Puke", the last-gasp clarion-call of "Don't Stop Living in the Red"--all stupidly, jaw-droppingly excellent explosions of rawk purity. Shift up, Eminem: the crown of the white-trash hero is up for grabs, and by the sound of I Get Wet, Andrew WK brawls as hard as he parties. --Louis Pattison

Amazing, in a word 14 Oct 2003

By Mr. A. C. Smith

Format:Audio CD

The lyrics are simple. The tunes are simple. The vocalist isn't difficult to emulate. So why has no-one come up with this before? This is one of the genre-defining albums. Grossly underrated, this isn't likely to be for everybody. But Andrew WK and his band have an unknown energy; they love their fans and we love him. A fantastic album.

'I Get Wet' is the beacon in the sea of nu-metal rubbish 26 Jan 2002

By A Customer

Format:Audio CD

All I can say is this album truly rocks. Every track is a gem, partly because they sound very similar, but different enough to tell the difference. Many people have criticised Andrew but I honestly can't see why. Tracks such as 'I Love NYC', 'Ready To Die' and the title track 'I Get Wet' are superb. With the recent nu-metal craze this album is for those who enjoy real, head-banging rock, but with an ever-so-slightly punk twist. Every track on the album is marvellous and if you buy this album I promise you won't be dissapointed.

Feel the Power of the Party

When I heard this week that Andrew WK had a new album out after several years in seclusion in Japan, I thought I'd give his original LP a spin to see if it lived up to my memories... Read more

Fun Rock!

This album always makes me smile when I stick it in the cd player. It's a fast paced rock album with plenty of 80's influence in too. Read more

Good fun!

This is not an album that will be remembered as a classic, it isn't a work of genius and isn't particularly original... Read more

Thank goodness I didn't pay full price

I was really hoping for some good old fashioned mindless meat head, loud, drunken, catchy sounding rock n' roll from this. Read more

Not the saviour of music. Just great rock music.

Ignore the blood and sweat, Andrew WK obliterates all: effortlessly. It aint the King Kong size hooks that hits you (from both sides) initally. Read more

He Gets Wet

I bought this because it was on the cheap and I liked the novelty cheesiness of singles 'Party hard' and 'She is Beautiful'. Read more

It made me smile. Can that be bad?

There are so many reasons to hate this album. It's loud. It's old fashioned. It's frighteningly derivative. Read more
