Review

Full-on cranked-out rock & roll, in the Hellacopters/Supersuckers tradition, which would fit since frontman Rick Sims played axe for the Supersuckers' album in 1995. The former point man of the Didjits leads another ragtag band to frantic rawk glory, playing tracks with so much swaggering and tongue-lagging that you can almost feel the spit flying in your face. With certain cues echoing from the New York Dolls (among others), '70s glam metal appears here as well. This is better than the Strippers' first album, but the guitar freak-outs never quite peak as high as they did on the last track of that album, although several come close. These boys sing of the rock & roll life, of drinkin' and fast cars, of tussin' and tumblin' and getting caught for it. For a band with a song like "Who Can Save Me?" and a nun on the album cover, the Strippers don't want savin' that hard. Kick-ass organ solo on "Get Em Down," too. ~ Jeremy Salmon, All Music Guide
