BenGOct 23, 2006Pitchfork are not the gatekeepers of quality. Sometimes music should be fun, not innovative. I like Primal Scream's forays into electronic music, but it's nice to hear some Give Out-type tunes again.

GiulioJun 14, 2006classic 70's stones sound but extremely amusing! It's only rock'n'roll... and I like it!

malfaitkJun 14, 2006This is certainly something completely different than Evil Heat and Exterminator, which both were great records. Anyway, it still is fun, different but OK.

AndrewAOct 30, 2006There are some good old rock songs in this cd. Primal Scream is a band to have fun at, not to really think it.

BeanoFJul 18, 2006Class album, all ya'll need to chill the fark out and listen to a bit of guitar music, ok it's different than their last album, but if you want to hear that then listen to that and leave this album to people with a more varied taste

moschopsSep 16, 2006So they've retreated from doing the more experimental stuff of their best work to do an album of big, dumb, retro party songs. But they are very good at doing big, dumb, retro party songs. You can kind of bet that the next album will be wigged-out electronica...

"Riot City Blues" starts fairly poorly and gets progressively worse.
-
Stupid, clichéd, utterly ridiculous for sure, but done with so much pizazz that you can't help but fall for its charms.

It's as if Primal Scream have run completely out of ideas and so they've reverted to the detestable fallbacks of honking harmonicas and bar-band choogles, acting like college freshmen who just discovered blues.
