CD ReviewsGarage Soul Glenn Nippert | Alpharetta, Georgia United States | 08/06/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is a great concept, Soul and R&B played like garage rock and in the process inventing a new sub-genre, Garage Soul!! Not just anyone could pull this off though because not just anyone can sing raspy voiced soul over screaming guitars and driving drums. You need a special individual like Mick Collins, lead singer of The Dirtbombs. This is a very innovative album for a cover song disc. It is pulsating, throbbing rock that will put a stupid grin on your face and a cocky strut in your walk. Even when a song doesn't quite adapt to the rock idiom such as Marvin Gaye's dance classic "Got To Give It Up", which has it's keyboard riff transposed to electric guitar, it still works better than it should. Stevie Wonder's "Living For The City" adapts seamlessly to the rock treatment and my personal fave is Thin Lizzy's "Ode To A Black Man". This particular cut should have gotten airplay and would have turned these guys from cult sensations to Rock superstars overnight. Few songs grab me the way this one does when it comes stomping out of the speakers. I've been known to play this one as much as 8 times in a row. The first time I played this album, I said it was one of the best things I had heard in a long time. I think I will be saying that for quite some time. Rock n' soul haven't been this cozy together in a long, long time." Ultraglide in Black Morton | Colorado | 08/21/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "The Dirt Bombs-Ultraglide in Black ****
This is rock n' roll the way it should be played. Loud, raw, sleazy, and with no care for who cares. These Detroit garage rockers do it right, and Ultraglide in Black is their purest and best album. 'Chains Of Love' is one of the most honest songs ever recorded. And man does it groove. It's the perfect way to start off this killer album. 'Underdog' is just a what the f***? how is this so good!? While the cover of Stevie Wonders' 'Livin For The City' is soooo bad that you can't help but to groove along to it and then you realize he is vocalizing in Spanish. 'Kung Fu' shouldn't work but does. But the sleazed up cover of Marvin Gaye's 'Got To Give It Up' is just so perfect it makes you question the original. The Dirtbombs were the real deal, it's too bad their no longer together. Ultraglide in Black is THE album to check out." |
