I bought this because of the famous George Bush / Tony Blair video. “Gay Bar” is a splendid punkish tune, and I was startled to learn that Electric Six were from Detroit, and not London. But that’s it – everything else on this CD is background music. Two stars for “Gay Bar” and nothing more.
This album was so terrible that I had to buy it just to make fun of it. The “fire in the disco,” thing was just too much. It truly sounds like the lyrics of this album were created by a 4 year old, but that’s besides the point. It has a hilarious disco/rap vibe to it which makes me break out in unbearable laughter. A definite must buy for someone who wants a good laugh.
This album has character to boot. . . But the same soound over and over will make you insane. These guys want to be something their not. . . THE MAKERS! “Rock Star God” by the Makers is everything right, while “Fire” is only “nearly-right”. . . Keep trying guys. . . You’ll get there.
i love Danger! High Voltage but the rest of the album didn’t really do it for me. they’re weird and their voices aren’t that strong, they just shout. though it works on danger high voltage. it’s pretty hilarious though which is a good thing!
I kept hearing people sing the praises of this band so I felt compelled to check out the album. I was thoroughly dissappointed. Sure it’s fun but they take care of that in one song. I understand their cheeky style but after awhile it grows exceedingly tiresome and intolerably cacophonous. Like fellow Detroit natives the White Stripes, I say the Emperor is naked.
