5 out of 5 stars Sticky Fingers.......2001-07-24

It's really pointless to criticize this record. If you're bothering to check it out, you're obviously an ONLY ONES fan. Released in 1997 after an 18 year silence, this one's becoming as rare and reclusive as it's creator. Get it while you can. Out of all the (quote) "comeback" records likely to come your way, this might not only be the most welcome, but the most moving as well.

As the first two cuts suggest, our long-lost hero wakes up sticky from the deep freeze. Shaking off the cowebs and the nightmares, he stumbles back into the cold light of day he left behind.

All I can say is, Perrett may have lost his former band, but not his edge. Musically speaking it's like the 90's never happened. Perrett picks right up where he left off. True, this isn't an ONLY ONES reunion but what you get in return are an evocative bunch of entirely new songs.

DEEP FREEZE, SHAME OF BEING YOU & WOKE UP STICKY are just as dark,infectious, and venemous as anything Perrett laid down back in the day. SIRENS, LAW OF THE JUNGLE,& LAND OF THE FREE may not be as catchy but they fit right in with the eerie, twilight atmosphere Perrett and his terrific backing band(The One) evoke.

As a note to the wary---despite the stellar hooks of the ONLY ONES, Perrett has always been an introspective talent. Approach this record from a similar stance and you're certain to be rewarded.

In closing, I'm a great admirer of the ONLY ONES and I bought this album 4 years ago. I keep coming back to it and each time I discover something new.

3 out of 5 stars Flashes of brilliance.......1999-01-10

This is a solid effort from Perrett, and will hopefully be followed by more in the future. Unfortunately this album does make one realize how much Only Ones guitarist J. Perry contributed to the magnificence of Perrett's earlier work. The guitar on Woke Up Sticky is a little too decorative, doesn't quite offer the necessary balance to Perrett's languid vocals. Still better than 99% of everything else put out in 1996!!
