Ehhhh Idk dude
Really cool bluesy style with a distinct 70's production and vocal style. Really fun to just put on and jam out to!
Surprised I hadn’t heard this before, besides Louis Louis. Pretty basic. Not rushing to replay.
Title track was coolio.
it was not a bad album but definitly not my taste
Rating: 6/10 Best songs: Have you seen my baby?, Yesterda's numbers, Carol
Nothing special in my opinion. May have influenced a lot of albums and artists that I love, but sounds quite boring by today's standards.
Trash
Bluesy rock-n-roll similar to Rolling Stones. Solid album for band I had not heard of before.
Had one or two fun tracks. A lot was just elvis inspired nonse
I don't know man. Flamin Groovies?? C'mon
I’d never heard of Flamin Groovies before this album and it’s not bad. I would say that there is definitely a noticeable Rolling Stones influence to the band’s sound. Which is not a bad thing, there are noticeable influences from multiple artists on the record. But I was left thinking “most of these songs could be on a Rolling Stones album”.
At first I thought this was an album called Flamin’ Groovies by Teenage Head, which I was looking forward to. This is great. One of my new “I can listen to every track without skipping” albums. Looking it up on Wikipedia, Mick Jagger apparently said this was a better version of Sticky Fingers, and I agree. Rockabilly edging into proto-punk. I love this so much. Favourite track: “Whiskey Woman”
Hey this album whips ass. I enjoyed it from front to back and will be listening to it again. This is some great rock with an energy all its own.
Very much blues rock. Ok but amazing.
Old rock n roll. kinda boring
If the Rolling Stones and The Grateful Dead had a love child.
Repetitive in each song (instrumentals and lyrics), diverse album overall, rock, blues, 50's and 60's vibes.
Good ol fashion garage rock. Would listen again but nothing really stood out to
These boys FUCK! Kinda like The Rolling Stones with a little of The Stooges thrown in. There’s almost no way they weren’t an influence on Eagles Of Death Metal and early Kings Of Leon. Pretty fun album!
fun
A few of the tracks are pretty darn fun; like the dark bluesy stuff and their rockabilly track is pretty cool (almost a spoof on Elvis? can't tell...the music is great). A couple songs get a little surf-rock sounding, which adds some nice texture. I like the 'Louie Louie' cover; has a nice little breakdown section, good jam. Hadn't heard of this band or album before. It's fine, but not likely one I'll return to; not really their fault, I suppose, but in the 50 years since this album was released there are just far too many more interesting offerings out there in this style.
Song about trimming pubes! 3 stars!
Slidetastic, Stones turned up to 11
Not bad, got some potential
10th June 2021 Listened on my phone through the day - Jen still recovering from Covid and busy workday. Very hot. Had it saved on Spotify previously, I love the firdt half but not sure about the British invasion covers. Some total bangers on here though.

звучит как Loaded Вельвет Андеграунда, если бы Лу Рид ливнул перед записью, а не после, а Дуг Юл решил, что надо написать побольше песен в стиле Lonesome Cowboy Bill. Но пару норм треков есть: закрывашка, Вчерашние номера, Детская голова. Делюкс трек, где поётся про shivers in my biba тоже прикольнул. 5/10
Дженерик гаражный рок-н-ролл. Вроде не бесит, но скучно. Ухо цепляется за кавер на Louie Louie, но это кавер, да и у Моторхэда забористее как-то опосля вышло.
I've heard this band in the past, but never properly checked them out. This one apparently is the third and greatest album, just before one of the founding members left. It's quite pleasant. 30 mins of throwback rock n roll with a country tinge and some blues cover songs. If you are a big fan of 1950s/60s rock classics, you would definitely have a blast with this. I tapped my toes along to the whole thing, and there weren't any dull moments. But it's not a style I'm particularly enamoured with. 3.5
Not bad, not that special
This album sounds like it was made by multiple artists. I’m hearing Elvis, Arthur Russell, a little honkey tonk n roll, just doesn’t feel like one original, unique sound. I liked it. But was confused.
not my thing really
eh? i think i skipped most of the record boourns. its fine for background
really good, Rockn'Roll!! 4.0
New to me - some class tracks but a few filler
Yea I liked it. There was some Elvis vibes. I can abide.
Unless this is just one person's personal list, i dont understand how this album could be considered an album you HAVE to listen to.
groovy hehe
Not the best but a good listen when doing something else.

Hieman pikaisesti läpiuiskenneltu levy. Vasta Whiskey Womanin kohdalla heräsi oikeasti mielenkiinto ja pysähdyin kuuntelemaan. Jos koko levy olisi ollut tuon kappaleen tyylistä, niin olisi tykännyt isosti. Nyt tykkäily jäi vain sellaisen keskivertohyvän kolmosen tasolle.
Very blues, very loud. The sound is totally on point but the songwriting does nothing for me. I'm mostly just along for the ride with this album, letting it go from one song to next while soaking in the sheer bluesiness of it all. Overall good.
Never heard of this band before! Can sound like the Rolling Stones, Elvis, and the Kingstons.
Flamin and groovy! Groovy 70's rock, nothing bad about it. Whiskey Woman is my fav
Ihan uusi tuttavuus tämäkin. Mielestäni kelpo rokkia tuolta aikakaudelta. Kivasti eri tyylisiä kappaleita levyllä, ei käynyt yksitoikkoiseksi, vaikka levy olikin täyden tunnin mittainen.
interesting album and more interesting group. they were all over the place and showed a lot of their influences. i give them three platypuses - hopefully they figure out who they want to be
Het heeft een paar goede nummers maar ik vind het verder veel lawaai.
I'm not a huge fan of this album. However, Louie Louie!?!? Are you kidding me? #rockon
Feels like That 70’s Show
7.5
The Rolling Stones meet sixties garage. Groovy record with a bit too much filler. A few killer tracks though
Truck‘n‘Roll im Honky Tonk-Ländle. Ein vertonter Robert Crumb Comic, muckerhaft gekonnt, abwechslungsreich, gut für ne lange Autofahrten bei offenem Fenster 2.8
Erstmal der ganz unmittelbare Anhör-Kontext: was für eine Wohltat hier der erste Song, direkt nach dem Metallica-Quatsch, sofort Punkte gemacht. Dann erstmal leichtes Abfallen, aha - Bluesrock. Machte man damals wohl so, aber zum Ende dann ja immer punkiger, voll gut so die Phase vor und hinter Louie Louie. Solide 3,2 Punkte von mir.
Yep this sounds like a knock off Rolling Stones or Aerosmith. not really my vibe. Yea its a louder, faster blues album.
Rockzinho lá de outros tempos né, bacana, acho que até conhecia alguma, mas nada que mds adoro ouvir não.
Okayish luke & luke vibes
3/10. The best part was the random screaming during "Yesterday's numbers"
Meh. Had potential, but didn't really enjoy it.
Not bad
This band reminds me a lot of the Rolling stones but maybe the band and the lyrics aren't as controversial? They have that 70's rock/blues thing going though I'm not sure if there is anything totally exceptional about this album. Maybe it's here because Mick Jagger thought they were better than the Rolling Stones?
cool cool cool
Ô Meo, toca Ramones, meu!
Nice vintage rock'n'roll, but not something I'm to keen on listening to. Actually, I didn't even know about this band, but the resemblance to the Rolling Stones is striking. And I'm not that much of a Stones' fan... :-P
Besser als erwartet - 3
I think I’m kind of hoping for a classic now in this list. This one is okay. I liked a couple songs but maybe only really liked one
i love their refusal to jump on the bandwagon of the times, and instead just rip up some awesome bluesy rock & roll. fantastic album
Extraordinarily bland
Pretty alright, definitely have never heard of it before. My first exposure to this group, and I may look at their stuff again, but it's not at the top of my priorities
Good first half but fades on Side B.
Rockabilly surf-music, folded into some more mellow blues-y jams. Good stuff
Bem legal mas mt longo
se creedence e ny dolls tivessem um filho
Unremarkable
fuck my head hurts. this was so poo. there was like 2 ok songs but they all made me angry.
okay 2.5
Cross between the cramps and secret affair! Not bad.
Bluesy rock and roll. Not really my cup of tea, a little boring. They manage to turn Louie Louie into a yawnfest, which is an achievement in itself.
decent
Favourite band name so far. This was a big fat Jam loved it all, especially Doctor Boogie and Shakin All Over. Whiskey Woman was my highlight though - surprisingly beautiful. Also a great rendition of Louie Louie.
american equivalent to Sticky Fingers is good, but not better than Sticky Fingers! come on, mick! fav track: whiskey woman
Not sure if I liked it or not
Tämä ei kyllä jaksanut kiinnostaa yhtään. Tylsää bluesrockia ilman mitään massasta poikkeavia elementtejä.
Fav Song: Teenage Head
Early Bowie mixed with the Links and Love. Need a relisten
very groovy
2.5
Loved it and love the nana
Fairly fun-- very much a Rolling Stones sound. Would listen again.
Great discovery, didn't know them at all, will certainly listen to it again.
I didn't know the band, but I was happily surprised. I know they are supposed to play many styles, but this album is a good rock album. It reminds me of newer rock bands like The Sheepdogs.
Boring old man music
Quite a mixture of sounds. Enjoyed the first half more but was good
Cool bluesy rock. All of it is pretty good, but few stand-out hits.
Meh
Decent garage rock, rock and roll sound, but nothing special or standout. I feel like this genre was out of date even when it was new. Led Zeppelin IV came out the same year and is a million times more interesting.
I hear a lot of Wilco
Rolling Stones in America
Decent album in line with early rolling stones
not my cup of tea
Good
Fun band.
Decent album, but nothing that rocked my world lol
alright power pop album, some tracks slaps but really nothing special.
Recording quality was really poor
just a bit of bluesy rock, but has that kinda proto-punk 70s sound coming through a bit. not too bad but I'll probably never listen again. 3/5.
