In any case, just the "Epitaph" is enough to guarantee them a lifelong 5. more

The Cramps — Psychedelic Jungle | DeRank™: 3,00

Just the opening track "Green Fuz" (a cover of the namesake band) would be enough for me to choose Psychedelic Jungle as my favorite Cramps album, but the point is that the high level continues throughout all 14 tracks, with a peak that I can pinpoint in "Voodoo Idol" (though several others could be mentioned), which for me is among the best pieces by the band directly written by Ivy and Lux. Here too, their extraordinary work as "archaeologists" (or tomb raiders, given the types) of all those garage and rockabilly bands that couldn't break through between the late '50s and early '60s, lasting only a few singles... Exceptional singles, though, that the Cramps select and bring back to the surface with passion and perfect care in identifying those that completely align with their style (just listen to their "The Crusher" and the Novas' original). Perfect balance in the tracklist (7 covers - 7 originals), a stunning album from start to finish (not that the others aren't, at least until 1986, this one just resonates a bit more for me). Ah, this is the first with Kid Congo on guitar, replacing Gregory. The newcomer also forms a killer duo with Ivy. more

I can't bring myself to hate him. I wish I could, but I can't. For 3 simple reasons:
1) The Q-disc with Rino Gaetano and New Perigeo
2) The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which if I'm not mistaken, had Pasquale Panella involved in the script
3) The fact that he re-sang the songs in Toy Story in Italian, which improves them in many ways (and this is not to diminish Newman)

Just for this. Stop. more

Authors of truly refined Heavy Metal. Favorite albums: "Tyranny And Mutation" and "Fire Of Unknown Origin." The first song I listened to by them was the catchy "Dancin' In The Ruins," which I still adore, although it belongs to a not-so-great album. more
