5 out of 5 stars The CD.......2006-01-10

4 out of 5 stars The new classic rock is here........2005-06-21

The Good
The fuzzy guitar riffage on "No Rest" has a nice bounce to it, especially when it's combined with the pulsing drum beats. Myron's vocals are smooth yet scratchy, kind of like Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl. Dirty American's liken love to a "Car Crash"; you leave me bloody/take all my money. The track is defined by its catchy guitar lick. The bridge helps build interest for the incoming guitar solo. "Time in Space" used faded guitar work to compliment the shadowy vocals.

A climbing drum beat helps launch the song into its distortion phase. Guitarist Jeff Piper kicks in his phaser effect for "Dead Man". The heavy riffs become all-encompassing and gel well with the cleanly picked notes. "Deep End" is dominated by acoustic guitars and dark, trippy vocals. "We Were Young" continues with the acoustic tones, but takes it up a notch with electric licks and powerful vocals.

The Bad
Nothing notable

The Verdict
Dirty Americans don't follow commercial trends, don't follow the latest rock fashions or looks, and don't write simple, uninspiring rock music. Dirty Americans stay true to their classic rock influences on Strange Generation and never let them sound dated or boring. The new classic rock is here.

5 out of 5 stars R U A DIRTY AMERICAN????????.......2005-05-03

Damn, ain't it about time we get back to the basics of good ole RocknRoll??In the beginning I wasn't quite sure these guys were gonna kick it enough to satisfy an old time rocknroller but thier new stuff is totalling jumping!Anyone who is old enough to remember the great 80's bands has got to get there hands on this one.
Takes you back and totally lays you out with appearance of the definition of (GROUP ROCK)all over again. The songs rip thru your head like a drill on diamonds.It's not just an artist; it's a full blown band. One could not make it without the other.Well worth the money spent with mulitiple outlets of availability which make this one easy to find.
Take a break, spend a few on this one for your collection and enjoy the hours you spend listening.It won't be a one night stand!You will find yourself to be overly addicted to the new pleasures you are about to receive.JUST DO IT!!!!

the best band on earth! no doubt about it...pick this up, it has the coolest packaging too (you can't see it on here!). I have every song these guys have ever recorded and they all are incredible and so much fun.

4 out of 5 stars The Future of Rock.......2005-03-23

Now, I may be a little biased being from Detroit; however, I believe that The Dirty Americans are the wave of the future for Rock n' Roll. They are a very good sounding band and have some awesome chemistry. From the first song, No Rest, you are drawn into this new world of rock filled with rythems that make you want to dance. The second song, Car Crash, is a local single and has had some decent radio play, and is one of those songs you just can't help but crank up the radio, and the title track Strange Generation is a great party song. The whole album flows pretty well, and considering this is the bands first U.S. release, other then the EP ...kiss 'em all goodbye, the album is sure to kick start this talented band. The only complaint I have is the fact that a lot of the songs get repetitive. Non-the-less, this is a spectacular debut for a band that is sure to one day dominate the airwaves. Silvertide and The Dirty Americans are the beginning of the rebirth of rock into the mainstream. Good sounds, and they just make you want to party. I highly recommend purchasing this album, you won't regret it.
