Reviews
The Chicago Tribune noted that, "with just guitar, bass and drums, the Messiahs play '50s blues/rockabilly with the fervor of a punk band." The Gazette determined that the album "packs enough bad attitude to disintegrate a hair salon full of metalheads." The [New York Times] opined that, "in Mr. Carter's songs, speed and violence are the only alternatives to self-deception and despair—a brutal world view, but one that makes for savage, vital rock-and-roll."The album has a 3/5 star rating on AllMusic. John Duggan wrote: "The final chunk of squalling guitar rant from the Screaming Blue Messiahs doesn't reach the relentless highs of Bikini Red, but it's pure mania nonetheless, and a sure shot for those who lapped up the first two waxings. The titles alone clue you in that this is no mellow fest."
