Dressed like a Yazuka visitation, rocking like the Demolition Doll Rods on “Drum Rock, Pt. 2″ and then a punk Dick Dale on “Big Boss,” they cut a burning swatch through every hard rock subgenre on this album. This florid display of lo-fi mayhem from the typhoon from Osaka is the soundtrack to some of the most praised live rock performances of 1999 and 2001, when they toured the U.S. club circuit. – Tom Schulte
