GIVE ME BACK: - Amazing. This repress is a must have. It should say something that when I doodle, or write in wet cement or whatever, I might draw some BLACK FLAG bars, VOID crosses, an Out of Step sheep, or maybe just a dinosaur eating an ice cream cone; but it's more than likely that I would be inspired to draw a HICKEY heart. If you've never heard them, don't let me lead you to believe that they sound like any of the aforementioned bands. But rather that, to a lot of people, they are just as important. (And it doesn't hurt that they have a logo that a monkey could draw.) The record to me sounds like what I would've expected if NIRVANA had grown up as a sloppy Bay Area punk band. 10 wild-ass infectious anthems under one or two minutes and one twenty-four minute history of the world stoner jam. And I think you might have to sign me up on one of those "edge breakers" lists, because this last song gets me stoned o the bone. Seriously it warps time and I can look down at my own body and smell colors and all of a sudden I understand infinity, dark matter and the expanding universe. Hopefully they're repressing the other Hickey stuff too; keep your eye out. It's all worth checking out. (FIL)
