Album Review
Comprised of previously limited 7" singles, this collection uncovers an embryonic form of Fu Manchu, spotlighting early work before 1994's first full-length album No One Rides for Free. While elements emerge here that would make Fu Manchu a powerful band in the coming years, perhaps by accident, this music is slightly tinged with the Seattle sound so prevalent in the early '90s. Only ex-members appear here, with the exception of founder and leader Scott Hill, who continues to expand a musical vision culled from '70s pop culture, California summers, and righteous doses of genre giants Black Sabbath. "Don't Bother Knockin' (If This Van's Rockin')," "El Don," and "Pinbuster" offer a glimpse of the potential fulfilled on future records with stronger lineups. This album is not for the casual listener, but even fans may be disappointed that the scarce three-song debut on Slap-a-Ham Records isn't included to neatly package all early singles on one release.
Customer Reviews
The Song Remains the Same...
...which for Fu Manchu is a good thing. In an era of bands constantly trying to "reinvent" themselves, its nice to listen to band, from start to...present, that sticks with what works. And it works. Always. Fuzz guitar, heavy riffs, songs about driving in space. COME ON!!! Get in the car...
Buy
it.
More of the same
What you will hear on this album is songs that have a very good chance of entertaining you. However, if you listen to music at all you will notice that these songs have the same kind of structure of other bands out there. The songs have tapped into a sound that sounds great but, leaves little room for personalization. Chances are you will like the CD, chances are you have heard it all before.
