CD ReviewsUgh B. Cooper | 04/23/2008 (2 out of 5 stars) "I loved the Afghan Whigs, but this CD from Rick McCollum's new band just doesn't compare to Greg Dulli's post-AW output in the Twilight Singers and more recently with Mark Lanegan as the Guttter Twins.
It's not bad for what it is: straight-ahead rock with big guitars and gutsy vocals. But to my ears the vocals are rather unpleasant and the songs have little of the genius of McCollum's former band, and that was a disappointment to me." |
