I wasn't looking forward to this having read the Wiki entry. Talk of 'inventing heavy metal' almost led to a no listen from me. But Summertime Blues was interesting in an experimental type of way. I quite liked the raw stripped down approach. You can see where White Stripes got their act from. I still struggled with the rock and very little roll. You always need some roll. Quite a time piece, and certainly worth a listen out of curiosity.

I started this one off and heard the already-familiar version of Summertime Blues, and thought, this might well be fun. However, by four songs in, it all started sounding the same: screaming guitar and wailing vocal. I must admit I drifted off and then started being mildly irritated by the incessant noise. I can see what they were trying to do and appreciate that they probably did a lot of it first, but they should have stopped after Summertime.
