Please
log in to review the album.
author: Noel Murray
The Volunteers' (Buy It!)self-released, self-titled album serves up sleazy, indisputably wrong scuzz-rock along the lines of the album-opener "Whore," which demands to know, "Whatever happened to sex and drugs? / I don't give a fuck about rock 'n' roll." The band's sensitive side comes out in "Homos," a mini-essay on evolution and political correctness, while "Blanket Of Drugs" is softly, sweetly pro-narcotic.

The first two songs ("So Deep for so Cheap," & "Whore") are straight out-of-the-box, sex/drugs/ rock 'n roll, punk rock tunes!! I mean yeah, it's the same old story, but The Volunteers add some poignant lyrics and social commentary laced with humor. They make an old story fresh again, all the while rockin' out. These guys dish out pure animal joy and atomic rage all through this disc. An explosion of punk rock noise and lead singer/guitarist Dan Goddard's evil, menacing (think Iggy Pop) snarl. Songs like "Real Man" & "Blanket of Drugs" are a shock wave of big-amp purity, the likes of which doesn't get heard much. You'll also hear some cool vulnerable pop sensibilities woven through the lyrics, and Goddard's hyper-kinetic vocals. The Volunteers can walk that fine line between 'fuck-'em-all/I don't give a shit choruses, and well-meaning sincerity. That's what makes this a masterpiece!

really different from all the mainstream crap!
author: Kariann Cook
I love the cd because it's really different from all the mainstream crap. It has awesome beats and you can't help but sing along to all the songs. The lyrics are awesome and at times random which makes it even better!!! I'm making all my friends listen to it and they love it too! The best songs are probably "So deep for so cheap" or "Homos" but I can't decide. I love them all!
