If you�ve read my column about how I got into rock �n� roll, I bet some of you thought it�s only a matter of time until I review this�or maybe not�
Anyway, like the booklet says: �MC 5 were punk before punk, new wave before new wave, metal before metal and even MC before Hammer�. Since I got into The Stooges and heard that the MC 5 were like big brothers to Iggy and co, I knew I had to get this record.
And when I got this, I have to say, I loved it. It�s kind of hard to believe someone had so much energy in the 60�s! (Well, Iggy & The Stooges had it too). This record has the true sound of rock �n� roll, but there�s some �progressive� parts too. I won�t say anything else about the members of the band except that they play really well. God I love those guitar sounds, guitar solos, and guitar everything! And of course it�s because of the legendary Wayne Kramer and Fred �Sonic� Smith. Singer Rob Tyner got soul in his voice.
What else can I say? All of the songs kick the jams out of you. My favorite songs are �Kick Out The Jams�, �Come Together�, �Awesome Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa)�, and �Starship�. When I�m listening to this kind of record, it�s hard to beat because the power goes through me. God I love that feeling.
�Nuff said. Get this record and feel the power. Let�s kick out the jams, motherfuckers!
