Free Music Notes for How the Supersuckers Became the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the WorldFree Music Review: they must've been high Hit: 5 StarsWe can only pray that someday America will awaken from its cultural slumber and realize that the Supersuckers and Rocket From the Crypt were two of the best yet criminally underrated rock bands of the 1990s (and early 00s). Both brought punk back to its rock 'n' roll roots with tongue firmly lodged in cheek, and in an era shoe-gazing whiny emo rockers they put on a damn good live show. The Supersuckers' Sacrlicious Sounds Of .. . and their "country" album, Must've Been High, are classics waiting to be rediscovered, so go out and get them now so you can lie to all your lame-ass hipster friends and tell them you were way into the Supersuckers way back when. Or get this one, which includes most of the best songs from those two albums plus their earlier punk stuff and the ironic genius of their cover of "Dead Homiez."
Free Music Review: good enough Hit: 4 Starshow good is it? good enough to get me to completely forget a pointless, dead-end crush for a few hours. i think i wore out the CD listening to the first verse of "Supersucker Drive-By Blues" about a bazillion times -...hilarious!keep music evil.
Free Music Review: Shout bamalama Hit: 3 StarsLugging an obnoxiously long declaration for a title "How the Supersuckers Became the Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the World" is a compilation of some of the Supersuckers' finest moments. The term "finest moments" may lack any objective relevance though. The Supersuckers excel at a sort of tongue-in-cheek bamalama, a hammering hybrid of garage punk and Motorhead metal, that can quite easily make it hard to distinguish one sonic assault from another. The exceptions, predictably, are the standouts. Versions of Ice Cube's "Dead Homiez" and Willie Nelson's "Bloody Mary Morning" drastically change the sonic palate. Steve Earle joins the band for a version of "Before They Make Me Run" that cuts the Stones to shreds. The tracks off their "country" album ("Must've Been High") also help break up the one dimensional rockin'. But overall, if it's high octane, no-frills rawk you're seeking, you could do far worse.
Free Music Review: BEST ROCK N ROLL BAND IN THE WORLD Hit: 5 StarsThis is a nice intro but all their discs rules! GO see em live to!!
Free Music Review: Hurry up Hausfraus Hit: 5 StarsNot a big fan of greatest hits - would have liked an all-out live album more, there is really no excuse for not having each album individually. A supersuckers greatest hits is really rather redundant, they've been great for years. I saw em live a while back though, and it does look like they could use the extra money.
