Lester Bangs was an American music critic and writer (born 1948, died 1982). He wrote for Creem and Rolling Stone and is known for passionate, gonzo-style rock criticism. The DeBaser review discusses the album Jook Savages on the Brazos, credited to Lester Bangs and the Delinquents.

The single DeBaser review praises Lester Bangs' contradictory brilliance and situates Jook Savages on the Brazos within punk, garage and electric blues influences. The reviewer highlights Bangs' obsessive, connective writing style and cites 'I Just Want to Be a Movie Star' as emblematic. The album is described as a lightning-quick, minor but meaningful rock episode recorded rapidly with a Texas punk band.

For:Fans of punk and garage rock, readers of music criticism, Lester Bangs enthusiasts, and DeBaser users seeking contextual album reviews.

 What has always struck me about Lester Bangs, besides his irony and his brilliance in his own way and in a distinctly unique, even eccentric manner, is that despite appearing through his writings as a confident person, so much so as to issue judgments and give ratings to records or people, he was in truth a person full of human contradictions.
