Pro Reviews: Bloodbrothers
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews This was the Dictators' third album, and their second for Elektra/Asylum. The band was energized after returning from a tour of England and being embraced by the emerging punk rock audience over there. As a result, almost 90 percent of this album was recorded live and, as such, stands as a good example of what the band sounded like on a good night. "Faster Louder," and the kickoff track, feature an unannounced guest appearance from Bruce Springsteen on backing vocals, while "Baby, Let's Twist" features guitar work far more sophisticated than the title would lead you to believe. The band may have still been trying to cast themselves as the next logical extension of the MC5 and the Stooges, but Andy Shernoff's songwriting (especially on tunes like "No Tomorrow," "Stay With Me," and "Borneo Jimmy") shows infinitely more craft than mere Motor City knockoffs. The playing is self-assured and solid, the production is simple, raw, and direct. In many ways, this is the Dictators' rockingest and most musical album. - Cub Koda, All Music Guide |

This is their third and last album -- until a new one is released.. supposedely in 2001---). It represents them at theri best. Manitoba has now taken over all of teh lead vocals. Shernoff is back on the bass.. gone is Mark the Animal... good riddance.. and these are are good example of how they sounded live at the time. As well as how they still sound live now. There is really no way to describe this album. It's fast.. loud.. tight.. catchy riffs ...with great lyrics... and some incredible guitar work. There is really only one low point (which I don't need to describe) .. which is easily over-looked.
If you do not have this album, or have never heard it.. you are in for a real treat! ...
