Heavy groovin' rawk Fuzzed out loud guitar riffs, Sabbath style, but no doom. Uh, yeah, this stuff will get you goin'. This is So-Cal Desert bliss. Cars, speed, and. . . well. . . other stuff. It's almost all uptempo, a few pychedelic touches here and there, and way catchy, if you think that heavy earthmoving equipment can be catchy. And did I mention the killer drumming? The cool 'n sleazy fuzz guitar leads? Ah, man, just perfect.
There are two divisions in the Fu story, Mark i and 2. This is the best album of early, Mark 1 material. Just about every song is good; the band sounds fresh and excited. Their next album, In Search Of, marks the end of Fu Mark 1, as a couple guys split to form Nebula afterwards. In Search Of sounds a little down; you can tell that they stopped having fun together. Unlike this album, which is a blast nonstop! After the split, The Action is Go probably gets the nudge as the best, though King of the Road is really good, too. Maybe a little too much compression sometimes, though.
Daredevil and Action are the two best, IMHO, but this one has more lead guitar and that young, raw feel. Action is a little more polished, but has more moods and some different grooves. So there you have it. Buy this and play *really* loud!.

Great One!
It's just awesome, groovin' rock and roll. This album does not get old. This one rivals the almighty In Search Of. . , and yes this one came out first. Check this one out!.
