There has been a lot of whining through bongsmoke clouds about the last couple of discs from the FU. Some said "California Crossing" didn`t have enough of the fuzz, or "Start the Machine" was too dark and staid compared to the band`s past efforts. I`m sure there are varying opinions on this one, but not from me. This is the most solid thing I`ve heard from the band`s Bob Balch-era since "The Action is Go". The tracks are short, potent, and there`s riffs a plenty. "Shake it Loose" is a midpaced footstomper and "Hung Out to Dry" is a trippy FREHLEY / SABS-style jammer that would fit on any of the band`s cherished back discs. How any fan of the rawk could keep still through either of these tracks is beyond me. I found myself uncontrollably headbanging away as Scott Hill barks "Land...of...Giants!" over a boulder of a riff in the track of the same name. Plus, the cover of THE CARS `Moving in Stereo` is incredible, just like their version of "Godzilla" from days gone by. Looks like there`s already a bunch of used copies for about nine bucks, so pick it up.
WAS A FAN--------now they are junk
Well they flat out suck now. The heaviness is gone. Cheap attempt at airplay or more MTV time. They look like American Eagle posterboys. If you were a fan that saw a continual downward trend and thought the last disc was crap. At least you can now say, "I like some of their old stuff". This is weak, non-stoner, pop metal. THE BUSHMAN
The Blue Cheer of the New Millenium
If you have been waiting for the followup to Vincebus Eruptum for 40 years, hoping to find it each time a new group popped up promising to deliver but never really doing it, well this is IT! You need this music and you will LOVE it.These guys put it all together with the fire of their excellent live album to come up with a true classic that I guess people 40 years from now will still adore. Long live Fu Manchu!
