Editorial Review:
Supersuckers are a Southern-fried punk rock band that, if not firmly tutored in metal, have at least watched This Is Spinal Tap several dozen times. Live, the band engage in more tongue-waggling than Gene Simmons, and--when they're not wearing cowboy hats--at least as much hair-shaking as Judas Priest. On The Sacrilicious Sounds, Supersuckers even make a nod to Ozzy Osbourne on "Ozzy." Such familiarity with headbanging instills their music with crunchy intensity, causing their rhythms to sound like a cross between the Ramones and Motorhead. Like their past efforts, the new disc revolves around simple three-chord riffs and lots of white-hot soloing, but while many of the band's older songs tended to sound the same, the tunes here exhibit enough identity to stand apart. --Jon Wiederhorn
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - I really like the Supersuckers, but...
...I can't dig the way they stole Thin Lizzy songs and passed them off as their own. There are a few songs on this album that are really Thin Lizzy songs from a lesser-known Thin Lizzy album called "Renegade."
Rating:  - Awesome
This is for anyone who can appreciate some good Rock and Roll music. Drinking, fighting and women are the subjects, and is perfect for any fans who love rocking music.
Rating:  - Phil Lynott rolls over in his grave.
There are enough other reviews to tell you what to expect from this release. I actually like it, but can only give it one star out of principal. Here's why: two songs sound straight off of Thin Lizzy's "Renegade" album (1981.) Listen for yourself. Play TL's song "Mexican Blood", then play "Marie" from this disc. Sound a little familiar? Next, spin TL's song "Renegade", then play "The Thing About That". Don't they have exactly the same chords and progression? These aren't just three-chord, ... Read More
Rating: - This thing ROCKS!
If I could, I'd give it 4.5 stars -- not perfect, but pretty damn close. These guys don't care about anything except rocking out. The songs are short, funny blasts of desert-fried rock and roll played with passion, guts and a lot of alcohol. Quit messing around and buy it already!
Rating: - HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!
Whenever I play this album, which I bought on it's release date a while back, it still makes me feel the same way. I stand up, make that devil/Hook 'Em Horns hand gesture and bang away to the beat.Theres just something about a punk rock band who is unafraid.
I guess thats the secret of this band. They don't care. Don't care if you like loud guitars, don't care if you want three solos per song, their there. Don't care if you like the lyrics, which consist of worshiping Satan, being trailor park ... Read More
