Simone Appolloni's Album Reviews

Considered their finest hour, 1972's Slayed? contains much more vocal compression, less edgy, tapestry-like guitars and even louder, coarser dynamics, vocals and recording. Among complete major-key pentatonic atrocious ultra-shrieking ("The Whole World's Goin' Crazee"), three-chord ringing wonder ("How d' You Ride", "Gudbuy T'Jane") and extreme amount of background vocals ("Mama Weer All Crazee Now"), there's plenty to celebrate, if you're in the mood for aggressive partying. Problem is, three more singles were released and even charted ("Take Me Bak 'Ome", "Cum On Feel the Noize", "Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me"), and NONE of them was included in the album's official edition (only on compilations and Japanese issues), and it all sounds dramatically incomplete without them.

Highlights: "How d' You Ride", "Mama Weer All Crazee Now", "Let the Good Times Roll / Feel So Fine".
