Great Mix
Good funky jams & well recorded. This CD has a great mix of cover tunes performed by the band. Can't get these tunes on any other CD. Check it out.


Great Fun!
That being said, this disc is a superb compilation of those Panic covers that fans go crazy for at those shows. No recording can really capture the extreme joy of a Panic show. Sweet Leaf is a nuts opener. War's Sliping Into Darkness is just plain sick. Many Panic bamas will already have these songs in bootleg form but John Keane's production has made the recordings of superior quality to those bootlegs. This is a must have for any Panic fan. .


Well in the right mood...
Having spent all summer listening to Panic's amazing Night of Joy release I was ready for more great live recordings. . maybe my expectations were too high. . . for Jackassolantern did not quite live up to my hopes. . . It's one thing to be at a Halloween concert and have the guys play "fun" cover songs or at a regular concert and hear a cover song. . . Those both work well I think. . . but to have a whole cd of those type songs does not work as well. . . not that it's bad or anything. . . almost too much. . . I found myself wanting a real Panic tune to break things up. . . having said all that there are some great songs here. . . Godzilla, Sex Machine & Ball Of Confusion. . . and old fans will enjoy hearing Michael Houser on some songs. . . my advice get this and play it at your next party it will fit right in. . . .
