Cover:
9 Carny Rats out of 10.
This is metal cover. The artwork is the band drawn
in what looks like some sort of firery tent and the one dude has a skull
on a pole, the small chick is holding a snake above her head, the singer
dude has a book open and is preaching, and the other tall blonde chick
is just standing there looking hot. You have fire, snakes, skulls, hot
chicks, and it's a drawing, so that's metal.
Booklet: 7
Carny Ratt out of 10.
Each band members gets it own page with
a drawing of themselves, along with simple credits and thanks. It all
looks good but lyrics would have been nice because at times I have no
clue what the fuck this guy is saying. Though I do think you can find
the lyrics on their website.
Songs:
8 Carny Ratts out of 10.
This Cd starts off with a nice, evil metal intro which leads into "King,"
which has to have one of the coolest riffs I've heard in a while. This
Cd somewhat, and I said somewhat, reminds me of an Ozzy Osbourne and
Randy Rhoads Cd. Some would call this stoner rock, and I can see that.
Fans of Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Black Label Society, and Corrosion Of Conformity
would dig this. It's riff heavy rock perfect for drinking a bunch of
beer, smoking, and hanging out in a parking lot. The guitarist and bass
player are both chicks, so that's even cooler.
Comments: XM Radio's The Boneyard plays
these guys all the time. If given a spot on OzzFest or some exposure,
they could get a good following. Iann Robinson thinks this is like the
greatest band around right now, or something like that.
