This is the best album in the world ever! October 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have over the years listenened to most (if not all) of the so called 'best albums ever made' and there is no doubt in my mind this is the one. Rock 'n'roll in its purest incarnation. Please, if you love guitar rock 'n' roll trust me and buy this album and, if you don't agree, I'll give you your money back (actually the last bit is c**p but you get the idea.)

An unbelieveable album, which never outstays its 29-minute welcome. From the opening, majestic bars of "Tutti Frutti" (Jesus wept, how could anybody drum like that?) to the closing shudder of the title track, this really is an amphetamine-fuelled dance over the grave of American commercialism. Personal favourite: "High School", with its ironic chorus of "Sis Boom Bah" and the twin guitars working in perfect harmony. Smarter than the Dolls, more streetwise than Iggy, the MC5 still managed to tear themselves apart, in the days when that was what you did. By God, I miss them.
When did they invent bass? December 21, 2001

If the only thing you know about MC5 is 'Kick out the Jams', this is a big change. The first thing you notice is a complete lack of bass compared to Kick out the Jams, which gives it a real feeling of speed ball energy. By the time they have blazed through the first couple of tracks you realise that somewhere this bunch of kids singing about going out, getting laid, fighting, getting into trouble etc. morphed into the politically charged monster of lore and you begin to hear it poke through in certain tracks (Human Being Lawnmower for example). More than that, this album reminded me of the early Ramones stuff, blazing through songs in a blur of buzz saw guitars with a few old Rock n' Roll covers thrown in for good measure, but with a certain amount of quirkiness that makes it sound like no-one else. You can definitely hear where a lot of the later punk/new wave bands were coming from. Basically, I loved it!
