The Product description does not do this album justice or indicate the treats in store for the keen eared listener searching for (or even better, accidentally "tripping" over) a finely tuned, informed yet ultimately original album of nineties re-cast sixities inspired pop songs. Really, the infectious jangling get back guitars, sometime frantic, sometime very groovey but always head shaking backbeats and affected word-smithery of Tim Briffa combine to create a most enjoyable and refreshing experience, damn shame this album was lost back then. Shack & La's fans, get this alongside your vinyl copies of VU, Beatles & The Byrds, turn it up, tune in and you know the rest... Looking forward to the new one - long time coming chaps!

That computer at Amazon asked me for my opinion after I bought a copy of the album for my godson on his 18th birthday. I can only say that no home should be without one.

A Criminally Neglected Album
2 Dec 2003
Format:Audio CD
I don't know if it's the 80s cover, the weird band name or the record label that makes this a relatively unknown recording, but one thing is for sure, it's no fault of the music. These tunes are FINE. Looking at the cover, you'd probably think this was either punk or something crazy like Mr. Bungle or Mighty John Henry, but it's not like that at all. This music is something very special. After my brother first played this album for me, I thought it could have been any one of a number of obscure bands from the 60s. It blew my mind when I found out this is from 1995. It has a special aura about it that only great albums have. It's seasoned just like an old favorite, but bubbling with the spices of 90s garage rock. Sometimes the music reminds of The Stones, at other times a little like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Cream often comes to mind as well. But no matter who they may remind me of, I'm sure they'll sound pleasing to you. These songs are just so inexplicably great. They're very catchy but not that poppy, and at times dark, but not overly dreary or dramatic. Everything is worked to perfection on This Is My Drug Hell. Like the other reviewers, I recommend this to everyone.

a rare gem
14 Jun 2000
Format:Audio CD
It is strange that an album of such brilliance has failed to see the light of day. This is my Drug Hell is one of the finest gems that I discovered. It has become a cult fave amongst my small group of friends. The album, which brings little in the way of modern sound,proves that simplicity can be a good thing. Buy it, it will remain at the top of your CD pile.

Euphoria.
12 Oct 1998
Format:Audio CD
The full sound that comes from this trio is remarkable! Tim Briffa's guitar is superb throughout the entire album. My favorite is the wa-wa and funkiness on "For Your Eyes". While most people love "Girl at the Bus Stop", the band's tale of finding love via public transportation, it by no means exemplifies the versatility of this group. "She Flies So High" is the perfect album closer, almost easing one back into the real world after giving oneself over to the band. The band also pays homage to vinyl on the CD version with the sound of a runout groove with the crackle of vinyl before the bonus track.(And a very good hidden bonus track at that!) My Drug Hell also promises an added treat for the people who purchase the vinyl version. The only thing better than listening to My Drug Hell play on this CD is seeing them live! (Which I've done!) But if they can't be in your favorite hometown venue, they should at least be in your living room. _This is My Drug Hell_ is a MUST-HAVE for anyone who appreciates great music.
