You gotta move your...

"The Rads major label debut is still one of their high water marks. Some of their best songs and best grooves, with no duds or slow patches. If you like greasy, feel-good roots rock with a New Orleans twist, this here's your meat. Especially recommended for Little Feat fans, and although Lowell George still gets the nod over anyone in similar mercenary territory, the Rads are far, far better and more exciting than the post-Lowell feat. If you like this album (I'm a bit partial because this is the one that turned me on to the Rads long time ago) I recommend moving on to Total Evaporation, Live at the Great American, New Dark Ages, and Bucket of Fish, in approximately that order. If you're still jonesing, the other stuff available ain't too shabby either, and of course they've always been very generous with the live tapes so you can always cast out your line and do some live fishin'... But the point is this is the album to start with... Doctor, Doctor, Like Dreamers Do, and Suck the Head all got a good bit of radio play and certainly deserved it, and Holiday is a classic feel-good tune."

A Must Have For Any Rads Fan

"This album flows like Sgt. Peppers .. Every Song is great, I just wish they performed these songs live a lot more these days"

"Since they were a bar band for many years, these songs were the ones they had been honing and playing. This is a great album, and in my opinion all other efforts have fallen way short. Almost every song is great."
