This hefty chunk of prime Seventies-style, instrumental guitar rock is
fuzzier than a pair of plush dice hanging from ZZ Top's rearview mirror. Guilty
pleasures don't get much better."

"Now I gotta say upfront that this bastard kept my song "So
Reluctant" from getting to number one, and now I'm movin' up the charts again and
guess what - his House of the Rising Sun is still there like cement. So I
finally bit my lip and listened, and I gotta say, what I heard was the spirit of
rock. If you haven't heard his mp3.com mega-hit, let me describe it to you.
He
basically sings 2 verses straight up, and I'm thinking to myself, "This is
what beat my song out ? Give me a break." Then, he pulls a maybe
unprecedented move and just solos out the rest of the fuckin' song playin'
like
a madman. My god, it made me laugh, but I loved it. He sings that part at the
beginning, as more or less an excuse to wail like a nut, and then, this
unbelievable frenzied guitar just goes on and on and on. Then finally he just
ends it, suddenly, POW. This guy is possessed. Has another version on his page
too, called wicked groove which is completely different but great as well.
I'll
tell you now I'm proud that this is the fuckin' song that beat me out that time,
cause the guy does rock, there ain't no doubt."

"Punishing and thoroughly uninhibited Blues Rock instrumentals featuring an array of gnarly, amp-abusing tones. You've sinned, so listen up."

"John Lee Hooker meets Eddie Van Halen; like the Man said, 'I've not heard it on that wise...*Haw-haw-haw-haw*"
