Free Music Notes for Cocked & Loaded
Free Music Review: Not what you would expect from RevCo
Hit: 3 Stars
This album is good in its own respect, but doesn't sound anything like the Revolting Cocks I remembered. This album might be more appealing to someone who is just getting into industrial. A true rivethead, however, would see that this album does to Revolting Cocks what Big Hit did to Nitzer Ebb, what Voyeur did to Noise Unit, or what Pulse did to Front 242. Whether that is a good or bad thing is up to you; It depends on what aspects of industrial music interest you. You won't find any hard-hitting drums, metal-grinding beats, or demonic bass riffs on this album.Free Music Review: Not as good as I expected. Exception: Stevie Banch
Hit: 3 Stars
I've always been a RevCo fan and was really looking forward to this after their long absence from the music scene. And I was sadly disappointed in a lot of the record. Granted, the songs that Stevie Banch (of Spyder Baby) wrote and sang were the redeeming quality of this entire disc. If it hadn't been for him, I would have rated this much lower.
So, if you're a Spyder Baby fan, a die hard RevCo or Ministry fan . . . or even a fan of Pailhead, Acid Horse or 1000 Homo DJs fan, then definately check this out. Otherwise, skip it.

Hit: 3 Stars
I like this album right now, but i don't konw if it's good enough that i'll be able to say that in a year. There are some songs that I really like, 10 milion ways to die, caliente, but a lot of it was boring. it's worth a listen and definitely see them live if you get the chance, but not an amazing album.Free Music Review: Worst Production EVER
Hit: 2 Stars
It seems that none of the other reviewers were particularly impressed with this album either, but I am surprised no one mentioned the terrible production. The record was produced and mixed by Al himself, but lacks the bass thickness or drum heaviness that typifies your standard industrial release. In fact the drum beat gets entirely lost in the mix at certain fast points, and the music degrades into amorphous static, such as during the chorus of Ten Million Ways to Die (an inane "Ministry - So What" wannabe). Gone are Paul Barker's smooth basslines, and gone are the beats of Bill Rieflin. The music as a whole sounds dry, thin, and incredibly low-fidelity-and-not-in-that-cool-way. This detracts from the once darkly sexy quality that RevCo used to have, and replaces it with more of a dirty grandpa vibe.
Some of the Jello Biafra songs are cool, and remind me of Lard. Dead End Streets and Viagra Culture are definitely two of the more interesting tracks. Revolting Cock au Lait is sort of amusing in its parodying of classic Hendrix/Pink Floyd/Etc, but my version of this CD opens with a track called RevColution Medley, which is just the previously mentioned song edited down to 5 or 6 minutes, and therefore pretty unnecessary. And I liked the song Fire Engine the first time I heard it... when it was called Sideways in Reverse by the Mark Lanegan Band. Ripoff aside, the lyrics are just stupid. Fire Engine Fast, Fire Engine Slow, Fire Engine Fire Engine Go Go Go?
So there are a few good songs on here, and I could even forgive the lame ones like Fire Engine and Prune Tang (someone needs to tell Al that a clever pun does not a good tune make) if only the production weren't so bad. I got this album free, and still felt disappointed.
Free Music Review: horrid not revco in any way! sad.
Hit: 1 Stars
well, revco was Al, R23 and Luc Van Acker, right, cool stuff. Then it grew eventually became diluted and deservingly was laid to rest after Beers, Steers... an album that was half filler already, around some classic tracks.
And over a decade later we get this? WTF? the most boring thing I've heard ... Some great names on it, but nothing like the earlier. So although they have all done great stuff in their careers, just mix Gibby, Cheap Trick, Jello Biafra, Al, and the Skatenigs, and well, it's not Revco, and it's not even remotely interesting. Gibby always sounds like he's singing Jesus built my hotrod on this, Jello is the only almost highlight, and he's appearance isn't noteworthy either. Sad. So Sad. Nothing like what revco was. they are gone, now it's just a bunch of rockers that live in Texas.
