Its gloriously, thoroughly trashy fun makes it a guilt-free fling.
-
Alternative PressHughes and his crew blow through the kind of drums 'n' acoustic booty jams that would make R.L. Burnside do ankle-grabs in his grave. [Jun 2006, p.188]
-
BlenderThe music is as sexy as it is horny. [May 2006, p.105]
-
So, a grown-up EODM album, hardly serious, but certainly more complete than the half-cooked sketches that used to pass for their songs.
-
Essential? Not really. Fun as hell? Definitely.
-
Entertainment WeeklyInnuendo set to power chords is only supposed to be funny once... but this impressively stupid side-project follow-up... has enough new sex puns and recycled Stones hooks to defy the odds. [14 Apr 2006, p.87]
-
New Musical Express (NME)It's an unyielding piss-up of tattooed garage riffs, petrol-drenched blues and Marlboro-chuffing growlers. [1 Jul 2006, p.35]
-
Death by Sexy rubs out the line between novelty and earnestness, reminding us that music doesn't have to be ironic to have a sense of humor.
-
If you come to rock music for pure release, to celebrate the body, to forget your day job, Death By Sexy is just what you’re looking for.
-
Most of Death by Sexy plays like the hard-rock equivalent to Ying Yang Twins or a stripped-down version of anything in Motley Crue's catalog.
-
Q MagazineSounds more fun on paper than it is in reality. [Aug 2006, p.111]
-
The album sounds plenty sleazy but not always fully cooked.
-
Feels like rock that Beavis would play if Homme were his pal.
-
The result is somewhat akin to how Electric Six would sound if they were drinking tepid water instead of vodka.
-
UncutThis is one mighty party album. [May 2006, p.105]
-
Under The RadarThe album is not particularly deep or insightful, but it does provide danceable and entertaining tunes that don't bore and that don't pretend to be something that they're not. [#13, p.85]
-
UrbA classic rock-influenced masterpiece of horny fun. [Apr 2006, p.84]
