"Got no money I got style. Got no reason I got right!" the opener goes off - a finger against the bourgeoisie and any conventions, the sound is sharp and dangerous like in the days of pre-77 punk from the gutters of New York - the Stooges send their regards! 12 songs, short and concise, and that's a good thing. After 25 years of band history, a lot has accumulated on the silver back of the band: straight roots point tracks like "Outta Here" and "Out Of Touch" join up with lively drinking songs ? la "Fill Me Up" or "Favourite Drinks". Bad Decision" and "I Was Wrong", reminiscent of early AC/DC, tell of the suffering that followed. After all, we are all just mangy sinners! The album ends with an acoustic version of "don't bug me" in the morning-after version. The trio is on top form and Tonys' guitar sound (orange?) is as cool as never before. Rage and exuberance ignite the embers of the furious stage band - thanks to a live recording session the mix also ignites on record. Next Stop your Town! Did I mention that Dirk Bonsma has painted a brilliant cover again?
