Free Music Notes for Bad Music for Bad People
Free Music Review: What was trendy and cutting edge is now pretty hard to listen to
Hit: 2 Stars
I used to love the Cramps.
When I first heard "human fly", it sounded so nasty, so sleazy, so intoxicating. My hard rocking friends hated it which made me like it even more.I had a girlfriend who opined that "it was the worst song she had ever heard". What a boost!
I saw them live circa 1979. They were wild! Lux Interior was ferocious shoving the microphone up his ass, scratching himself and slithering on stage. Poison Ivey was so sexy strumming her Green Gretsch and totalling ignoring the chaotic singer. Bryan Gregory was still with them picking on a black Gibson Explorer. He looked freaky ...and was a freak...he left the band soon after to join some freaky cult.
"Gravest Hits", "Songs the Lord Taught Us" and "Psychodelic Jungle" received a lot of plays on my turntable and cassette player.
That was then...this is now.
While I appreciate the whole gutteral, voodoo, psychobilly vibe, the music is essentially just a novelty and no longer sounds relevant. Most of the songs sound the same and listening to this stuff gets old, really fast. The most melodic songs work the best...Garbageman, Goo Goo Muck, Human Fly and TV Set are the standouts.
This is a compilation meaning these are supposed to be standouts. I feel that their earlier material (when they were a more earnest band) is of higher quality than their latter stuff (it seems they were just adhering to a formula.)
The Cramps must be appreciated for the moment they were in rather than having an enduring quality. The Ramones they were not!
Free Music Review: Some of the worst music ever
Hit: 2 Stars
I can't believe I wasted my money on this trash. This was recommended to me by a friend and I don't see why. Nearly every track from "Garbage Man" to "Uranium Rock" was painful to listen to. Don't waste your money on this crap.Free Music Review: This album is a waste of time!!!

I have heard all of the albums that are contained in this miniture 'mediocre hits' and this is by far the worst you can do by these craz-o-billies. Go for Songs The Lord Taught Us first and then work your way through their discography, if you like it; but be warned they are never as sinister and cool is they are on their first album: Songs The Lord Taught Us. To even condone behavior like this not only puts lame record executives in alpha business positions, but insults your intelligence at the same time. Do yourself a favor and get Songs The Lord Taught Us. This is crap!!!Free Music Review: wonderful!

Some songs by the Cramps are pretty cool/OK, especially their more rockabilly stuff. This record, however, truly does live up to its title: these songs ARE bad. They sound like lethargic punk. It's sludge. The most useful thing about this record is its uncanny ability to clear a room.
