what a revelation.............2001-09-19

Well, I bought this CD based on one MP3 on the net ie. "I Got A War". A strategy which sometimes works, but rarely does it pay off like this. Leading off with the abovementioned kick in the ribs, two things are immediately apparent. One, Biff Malibu actually sings! The vocal is definitely not your average punk/rock/Stooges type yell, it has more in common with some of the great blues rock singers of the past, in that it sounds well lived in. Secondly, the guitars are right on the money, and when the first riff comes crashing in, you know you are in the presence of greatness.
For mine, this is far better than anything the Hellacopters have done, in that it doesn't sound retro. It sounds as though Gluecifer are more concerned with the songs themselves, rather than the style in which they are delivered. And of course this strategy wouldn't work if the songs weren't there. This is not a problem. I could go through and list some highlights, but they would only be MY highlights, and yours will be entirely different, and mean as much to you. The only let down is the absence of the enhanced video for "I Got A War" on the bonus disc. Oh well, see? There you go, proof they are human......... P.S. it would be awesome to see them live, but as I live in Australia, I've got more chance of seeing Henry Rollins play live in a t-shirt and jeans. So go see them for me. Bastards.

Way Better Than You'd Expect...........2001-06-07

...given the title which sounds straight out of Spinal Tap. Gluecifer sounds like the Stooges sometimes and early Cult a lot of times. Good by me!

High energy hard rock n roll is hard to come by. So what if the lyrics are dicey - the vocalist sings them with conviction and who really cares about the lyrics in this genre anyway?

Recommended.

bare bones rock and roll.......2000-09-28

this is the best band that i've been introduced to this year hands down. the vocals are similar to glenn danzig and the music is played hard loud and fast with so much passion. with band like this, backyard babies, turbonegro, and the hellacopters around, my faith in rock and roll is at last restored!!!!!!!.
