If this is what Gonzo's all about, you can count me out, baby count me out. Just count me out.

foxy, why? save your shitty demo compilations for after you've broken up or something, please.

4.5 superbTriangularDuck | May 8th 14

Well, shit. A month later and every single song from this is relentlessly stuck in my head. My first impression was pretty tepid too, but this is probably the biggest grower I've heard in quite some time.

3.0 goodBeeRyan | April 2nd 14

And god knows I've had some rough fucking demos.

2.5 averageGoldenGuy444 | November 20th 16

It sounds so weak. The vocals can't shine due to the recording style (They recorded it start to finish in one evening) and everything sound so dead or empty... like they were half asleep. Tragic Thrill does sound great, but even that song sounds so sleepy. Which coming from the bombastic excellence of S/T and The Church of Rock and Roll is a huge step backwards.

I can't get over how idiotic this band name is (at least most members have a stupid look to match). I didn't like
the music much, but Google image search has completely dissuaded me from giving them more of a chance.

2.5 averageAntonius | November 15th 14

Gonzo caught me by surprise as I was expecting it to follow the sounds of The Church.. but in a more consolidated way. To their credit, they were not afraid to leave the hard/glam rock image and follow their instinct. However, some basic elements lack of substantive quality: production is flat, music is uninspired and there is no apparent groove/rhythm to drive the songs. Out of the nine songs I would pick as best moments: "Have The Fun", "Shoebox", "Brutal Truth"

3.0 goodILJ | April 7th 14

Pretty boring, and that's one thing this band should never have become.

Bump

4.0 excellentUltihelmethead | April 6th 14

Yeah, this isn't Church or s/t, but it's definitely not a 2.7 composite. This is a more subdued Foxy, but it's still catchy as all hell. It's a grower, for sure. I wasn't overly impressed on my first listen, but it's definitely a nice, short burst of chilled out poppy rock.

Is this really the same band who made 'The Flamingo Trigger' and 'Introducing'?
