Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The fourth album by Primal Scream, Give Out But Don't Give Up caused something of a stir amongst critics and fans alike for being so overtly rock & roll after their acid-tinged Screamadelica. With an obvious nod to the blues-rock of the Rolling Stones, Primal Scream explored the roots of their funky psychedelia, resulting in such outstanding tracks as "Jailbird" and "Rocks". Elsewhere, they get a little help from Grand Jester of Funk George Clinton on "Funky Jam" (which does exactly what it says on the tin). Initially written off as a temporary loss of direction for Primal Scream, this album deserves another chance. --Carina Trimingham

CD Description
Before transforming into druggy dance-groovers with 1990's awesome and influential acid-house single "Loaded", Primal Scream, led by vocalist/ex-Jesus and Mary Chain drummer BobbyGillespie, started life as a crew of anorak-wearing guitar-popsters in the mid-'80s UK tradition of The Pastels or The Television Personalities. Four years later, Primal Scream reinvented itself once again. The cover's images of a neon Confederate flag and a photo of late Funkadelic guitarist EddieHazel scream the band's intent: GIVE OUT BUT DON'T GIVE UP is a '70s-style Southern rock album given a massive infusionof funk. Recorded at Memphis' legendary Ardent Studios by Black Crowes mastermind George Drakoulias, and featuring guest spots by everyone from George Clinton to Tom Petty sidemanBenmont Tench, the album mixes its musical metaphors well. The clear highlight is "Rocks", a brilliant stomping single that sounds so much like the Faces that Rod Stewart himself later covered it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Proves what an eclectic band Primal Scream are, 3 Oct 2002
By A Customer
If you've recently got into Primal Scream (recent relative to the length of their career) like I have, then you need this album. I started off with 2000's XTRMNTR, which blew my mind with its revolutionary anger and massive sound (and excellent songwriting). Then I heard this. It surprised me that a band that had produced an unfeasibly angry album had, earlier in their career, produced the most 'pop rock' album imaginable. The only hint of the Primals that I knew was on Struttin'. Initially, overall I didn't like it. I only really listened to Jailbird, Rocks, Funky Jam and Struttin'. But give it a chance, ladies and gentlemen, listen to it over and over again, and you will appreciate the whole different Primals sound. With this album in the collection, Primal Scream have almost done it all: trance, hip hop, jazz, folk and rock. Not many bands can say that. All they need now is an orchestra.

In conclusion, I'd say that this was an important album for Primal Scream to make, I'm glad they made it, it's well worth owning, but I'm glad they didn't stay in this vein.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Primals forgotten masterpiece, 9 Jul 2001
By A Customer
This is an album you really should have in your record collection, there some great pieces of work here. Bobby Gillespie is on top form on this album as well as the rest of the band. It contains raw power and is a treat to listen to.

2.0 out of 5 stars not bad but not good, 17 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Made in the midst of the Primals' comedown from Screamadelica. Full of Stones-esque good-time rock 'n' roll, Give Out.. seems rushed and uninspiring compared to the brilliance of Screamadelica, Vanishing Point, Echo Dek and Xtrmntr. Aside "Jailbird", "Rocks" and "(I'm Gonna) Cry Myself Blind" there are very few highlights to experience. By no means is this a terrible album, it's an album which doesn't display the true potential splendour of Primal Scream.
