"Ok folks. Let me start by simply saying that if you do not own this album you are one deprived fool. In fact I feel for you. This baby hasn't left my cd changer since I got it many months ago. This is quite simply one of the most intense, hell-raising, high voltage punk n' roll albums Ive heard in the past few years. It's raw, it's gritty....it just plain and simply will kick your feeble little ass. For simplicity, lets just refer to the Hookers sound as "maximum overdrive." I'm on a quest to make this an actual musical term, especially with the resurgance of pure rock n roll in its most raw, aggressive form. The album starts out with the title track "Satan's Highway." Ferocious. Agood preparation for the onslaught that follows. The best tunes are the title track, "Hometown Slut," "Baby You'll Regret Me," "Welcome The Beast" and "Soul Taker" ( which happens to be my personal fave ). But ALL of the tracks are good. The only track on this whole album that I sometimes find myself pushing the skip button on is "Back Alley Trash." But hey, 12 out of 13 is still a 5 star album in my book. Folks, do yourselves a favor and GET THIS ALBUM NOW! I can't say enough good things about these guys. It's hard to believe that Nashville Pussy are so widely recognized and the Hookers are going unrecognized by many.The Hookers are SO much better in every way....( though I must admit, I would rather look at NP's guitarist and bassist than The Rock N' Roll Outlaw ).Be sure you seek yourselves out a vinyl copy as well. You'll have fun spinning the record backwards and listening to all of the supremely evil and horrendous messages they backmasked into the album. Just dont ask me what those messages are, cause if I told ya I'd have to kill ya......"

Best album ever put on vinyl?

"C'mon! This record is DEFINITELY one of the three best records ever made. Literally. This is no lie. Sounds like nothing you've ever heard (the music maybe a little little bit (just a little) like The Chosen Few). I am sorry but I cannot stress enough how great this is. The only thing is that The Weedian isn't on this record. He came after. The drummer on this was great, just no Weedian."
