    Pros: Good variation of songs....

    Cons: Nothing really.....

    Bloodrock's third entry and really the best of the first 3...All the songs shine and either rock hard, are mid tempo, ballady or are complex...and then some. All the guys shine and play hard, lots of social commentary going on too. "Jessica..." is a pretty mid tempo-ed natural rocker...thumps along with some great playin in it, a pretty regular but decent Bloodrocker. "Whiskey Vengeance" starts off with some weird off the wall mid-evil bellowing into an all out hard rocking jam...pretty sweet song, also I like my whiskey at times so it fits:-) The next track is probaly one of the best here..."Song for a Brother"...such a sweet positive lovely song I believe wrote by Steve Hill the keyboardist...very jazzy with beautiful piano/keyboard lines within and Jim Rutledge sings it like a glove. "You Gotta Roll" is a nice little funky jam with great lyrics and playing...the extended Lee Pickens guitar solo is super sweet...and he never plays the same solo twice so it was noticeable on the Live disc...:-) Good rocker though through and through. The next song is a real long complex "thinker" type of song...."Breach of Lease", very long, complex and never gets dull..."Man has Breached his Lease"...from god, very heavy stuff going on here and great bass lines by Ed Grundy. "Kool-Aid Kids" is another funkier little type of jam...I believe either wrote or co-wrote by a guy of the last name Nitzinger, a musical artist in his own right...good song, doesnt get dull..the mid section slow down is memorable too. "A Certain Kind" is a tender touching ballad and is actually pulled off better than Bloodrock 2's "Sable and Pearl"...Rutledge sings it better...good song. The closer is a little tossed off min and a half track but sung pretty good by the drummer Rick Cobb I believe, and is social commentary for the most part...the guy that looks like my uncle back then..lol. Summing it up.... Bloodrock's awesome 3rd delivery and one of the best....the coverwork was designed by Flint MI native and Bloodrock manager then Terry Knight(Gotta prop it...I know), If you can find it...get it. They need to be re-released desperately. RR Read more Less

    Pros: The best album by this band!

    Cons: Repetition is done to death on these songs like all others of this period.

    (Bloodrock 3) "DOA" Grossest song ever, taking a backseat only to the song about Cannibalism, "Timothy". It's a good listen if you have an hour to spare, and that, is something I find myself advising people less and less nowa...days. Also, there's their most rocking of all songs,"Jessica"

Pro Reviews: Bloodrock 3

  • All Music Guide

    On their third album, Bloodrock makes a full return to the ominous hard-rocking sound that made their debut album such a solid release. For proof, look no further than "Whiskey Vengeance": This gutsy rocker starts with a creepy wordless vocal intro, then breaks into a galloping riff that provides a blood-pumping backdrop for its tale of heartless revenge. Bloodrock 3 also plays up the progressive edge to the group's sound that was only hinted at on previous songs like "Melvin Laid an Egg" and "D.O.A." For instance, the album opener, "Jessica," boasts some instrumental breaks that throw out surprisingly intricate riffs at breakneck speed. "Breach of Lease" is another prog-ish cut that runs for nine minutes, but manages to avoid wearing out its welcome through a carefully crafted arrangement that alternates eerie, quiet organ-led verses with a pulse-pounding chorus. Bloodrock also continues their Grand Funk-like attempts at social commentary with "Song for a Brother" and "America, Americ...a": The lyrics are a bit simplistic but are straightforward enough to get the point across and further benefit from being backed by energetic, well-arranged music. The group still has trouble with its ballads, though: "A Certain Kind" has a pretty piano-led melody but suffers from generic, mawkish love lyrics and a strained high-range vocal from Jim Rutledge. Despite occasional lapses like this, Bloodrock 3 is an effective hard rock album that boasts tight arrangements and a spirited performance by the band. It's not for the casual listener, but anyone who enjoyed "D.O.A." will probably enjoy this album. - Donald Guarisco, All Music Guide Read more Less
