Free Music Notes for Bad Music for Bad People

Free Music Review: primal urges satiated
Hit: 5 Stars

Listening to the Cramps reminds me of old 50's footage where conservative types are talking about rock being "jungle music", all primal urge and madness, and it brings a visceral thrill into my body and makes me smile. The Cramps are all that is twisted about rock -- loud, obnoxious, silly, smart, and best of all, fun.

This collection is a decent overview of their first albums and singles, and it encapsulates some of their best moments on record (although nothing can touch the Cramps live show). They are not the greatests musicians, singers, or lyricists on the planet, but that is what makes them so very good -- they know what they do well and they do it better than anyone -- they get you moving. And whatever camp claims them on various outings (punk, psychobilly, garage rock, twisted blues) you always know you are getting the best damn rock n roll in the known universe.

Go on -- hop aboard the "Drug Train", get a "New Kind of Kick", take a ride with the "Garbage Man", and get to know the "Human Fly". It'll do you good.
