Whaddaya get when you mix liberal doses of the Rolling Stones, Radio Birdman, a dash of the punk stylings of the Saints and some Ace Frehley insipired licks and solos? Splash ‘em with some Alice Cooper/King Diamond make-up and dress ‘em up as androgynous Nazis and sailors and you’ve got Oslo’s finest exponent… Turbonegro.
It’s so rare these days to chuck a CD on and every track… and I mean every-single-solitary-aural-sonic-blast be simply outstanding. ‘Retox’ features 14 of the catchiest Rock N Roll songs you’re likely to hear all year. Dripping with sarcasm and sing-a-long anthems that inspire the listener to have this disc blasting out of your car sterero, driving down the highway with shades on, window wound down and giving the bird to pedestrians and cars you pass in pure egocentric who-gives-a-fuck about the world attitude!
This is Rock! Pure! In your face! Unadulterated ROCK!
Retox is an album I have not stopped playing. It gets better with each listen and if you’re a fan of big, dumb guitar histrionics and catchy hooks that refuse to leave your brain - then just go and get this album. Pompous! Ballistic! Offensive! And all in all fucking amazing!
Check ‘em out… Youtubing it up!
These guys kick so much ass! It’s almost hard to believe they actually exist, what with all of the crap out there today.
And the first song is absolutely amazing.
Check out ‘Party Animals’, their previous album. It’s a lot like this one - I can’t decide which one I like better.
