A Masterpiece
You get your money's worth with these guys. If I had to make a list of the best heavy duty albums of all time this would be in the top ten. The song Eatin Dust will make your ear drums bleed and Mongoose is a masterpiece in itself. The mighty Sabbath would be proud.


Not Their Best Work, But Still Rocks Like No Other
This sounds more polished, but it still passes the test. This is a very good effort by this Palm Desert band, but they lack a few things, like the more fuzzy riffs. Scott has a very cool voice, Brant's drumming is awesome, and the bass has some of the coolest lines yet. This is sure to rock very hard wherever you are. My favorite songs on here are Godzilla, Eatin' Dust, Mongoose, and Shift Kicker. For fans of Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult.


groovy
It is excellent and even though the riffage hardly ever leaves the pentatonic scale they somehow manage to be original i love it. This cd is a cd you put in when you just want to have a good time and head bang in your living room. Scott's voice is great and brant has never sounded better on the drums. great cd.


Great Album
Cal. Fu Man Chu is total So. , you have to see them live to enjoy the groove and monster truck vibes that roll from this band. The album is great, as are the other disks available. Check em out with an open mind.


Flunks as a Blue Cheer parody
But there's no Buck Dharma and the singer is _worse_ than Eric Bloom. First off, a version of Blue Oyster Cult's "Godzilla" dipped in molasses oozes from the speakers. Which takes some doing, lemme tell ya. Fu Manchu's "Eatin' Dust" almost makes it as a parody of Blue Cheer: raw and brutal guitar riffage steeped in Big Muff fuzz punctuated by a truly useless vocalist who can be counted on to interrupt the mood with bursts of tone-deaf and incomprehensible chatter that is passed off as chant-singing. On "Mongoose" and "Pigeon Toe" the drummer, bass player and one guitar player are allowed to develop a nice amount of head-bang without the singer wrecking things too much but by this time "Eatin' Dust" is almost over. Fu Manchu forgets the dirty little secret of heavy metal: No one who claims to like Blue Cheer actually listens to "OutsideInside" or "Vincebus Eruptum," ever. Probably an awesome live band, though.
