We Say...
The Cramps have been churning out their unique blend of horror movie, leather-clad, punkabilly twang for over 30 years and virtually define trash. Stay Sick contains "Bikini Girls With Machine Guns," the Cramps' flirtation with the mainstream that loses none of the band's greaser charm. Stay Sick (and indeed the entire Cramps oeuvre) is an anachronistic romp through '50s Americana that has been borrowed (okay, outright stolen) by legions of bands that have come along in the wake of this iconic American band.

They Say...
The Cramps waited four years after their top-notch A Date with Elvis before releasing their next studio album. Most all the songs here follow the same rockabilly-based formula of previous releases. Many of the selections (such as "Daisys Up Your Butterfly," "Everything Goes," "All Women Are Bad," and a cover of "Muleskinner Blues") are cast in a moderate tempo, and the instrumental playing shows minimal song-to-song contrast. Lux Interior's vocals are comparatively reserved (though there are some exceptions, such as the snarling cover of "Shortnin' Bread"). Lyrics, too, are a bit tame by Cramps standards, the major exception being "Mama Oo Pow Pow," which has gleefully tacky verses about spanking and discipline that rival their most tasteless. "God Damned Rock 'N' Roll" is, for all practical purposes, a parody of Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll." The biggest surprise is the atypically soaring vocal on "Journey to the Center of a Girl."
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
