A far-out trip through a hard rock tunnel

(5 out of 5 stars)
"The Lords (here temporarily bolstered by MC5 bassist Michael Davis) are LA biker rock with an evil, black-leather vibe. The sound is pure 60's garage rock (organ and fuzz guitar) without getting too cute about it. They are definitely not a part of the "lets dress up like it's 1966" scene, and this disc is infinitely better for it. Word is these guys actually ride, so the repeated references to biker culture are not just part of the act. (the import version on the Easy Action label is packaged in an oversized cardboard sleeve, like a cd single; can't say how the US version on Gearhead is packaged. The cardboard sleeve LOOKS cool, but probably won't last long once this cd goes into heavy rotation in my car)"
