The Wildhearts + Stop Us If You’ve Heard This One Before Vol1
"What can one make of the Wildhearts? Their self-titled album's opening track, "Rooting for the Bad Guy," featured nearly nine minutes of thrash rock, as hard as anything Slipknot had ever done, but a melodic chorus and a guitar break in the middle were taken from the Slash book of how to play lead guitar. Ginger's throat surely must have been painful after screaming this set of songs, but that was his trademark: madness and mayhem. Every track sparkled with energy, "The Revolution Will Be Televised" sounding not unlike the Clash's "I Fought the Law," but a heavy guitar riff running through it marked this as a Wildhearts classic, and "Slaughtered Authors" was another eight-minute epic, giving the song time to build through several different themes, while the final track, "Destroy All Monsters," had a Metallica-style riff and three false endings before it finally came to a crashing halt." Sharon Mawer, AMG
The 15 track album "Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before Vol 1" is a collection of covers from some of The Wildhearts favourite bands, and will mark the first time that each member of the band has taken on lead vocal duties on a Wildhearts release.
“This Packs the trademark Wildhearts punch, while providing the orginals complimantary lip service, something often lacking in these stolen property albums. A worthy Wildhearts addition.” Rock Sound
