This is solid state.......2002-01-31

Recalling a time when punk was just the right balance of bluster and sugar rush, The Sultans full length is the point of origin for the revitalized RFTC circa Group Sounds. No nonsense RAWK which fires on all cylinders. My actual rating is actually three and a half stars in light on the fantastic current RFTC release and the slight sameiness of some of the tracks. Admittedly this is sort of the point with the back to basics one take style. For any one who thinks rock needed to be saved in the first place. As a friend of mine said, they take a page from the book and the book is rock. No introspection just propulsion and catharsis.

Scream if you want to go faster.......2001-07-16

If you want to know where the short songs,no fuss,full speed ahead rock n roll onslaught of the new Rocket from the Crypt Album (Group Sounds)came from check this out. Every song is excellent - fast, short and to the point. Even the gap between the songs is short. John Reis (Speeeedo!) who calls himself (correct that IS) Slasher and appears on the sleeve with a patch on, must have one of the most rock n roll voices around, the songs have variety and he sings like he means it even if he's telling someone that he's going to hold them down until their heart stops and their eyes pop. It's got the trademark rocket backing vocals and if you record it onto your walkman (twice on one side of a c90) and let the riffs and choruses drive you as you ride your bike to work, i swear you'll get there faster.

Pure rock'n'roll from sunny SoCal........2001-04-15

Your average Ramones album is less than 30 minutes long; Ghost Ship totals at just over 22 minutes. Nevertheless, or perhaps partly for that reason, this is a truly great punkrocking party cracker. The sound of The Sultans is more or less time less, it bears resemblance to the pop sound of the late 50's, the garage sound of the mid 60's, the punk sound of the late 70's, without making you surprised to find out that it's recorded in 2000. Most of the album is further recorded live on an 8-track studio, which tends to give the music a feeling of simplicity as well as genuinity. This is pure rock'n'roll from sunny SoCal, and it makes you wish you were driving around in a Chev Impala downtown San Diego rather than being stuck drinking cheap beer at some friends house in a cold wintery downtown Stockholm.
