"There are hints of girl group pop and more than a hint of , but doesn't really sound like anything that came before it. It's hard rock with a self-conscious wit, a celebration of camp and kitsch that retains a menacing, malevolent edge. play as if they can barely keep the music from falling apart and sings and screams like a man possessed. is a noisy, reckless album that rocks and rolls with a vengeance. rework old and riffs, playing them with a sloppy, violent glee. "Personality Crisis," "Looking for a Kiss," and "Trash" strut with confidence, while "Vietnamese Baby" and "Frankenstein" sound otherworldly, working the same frightening drone over and over again. is the definitive proto-punk album, even more than anything released. It plunders history while celebrating it, creating a sleazy urban mythology along the way."

"After the clatter of their first album failed to bring them a wide audience, hired producer to work on the follow-up, Too Much Too Soon. The differences are apparent right from the start of the ferocious opener, "Babylon." Not only are the guitars cleaner, but the mix is dominated by waves of studio sound effects and female backing vocals. Ironically, instead of making sound safer, all the added frills emphasize their gleeful sleaziness and reckless sound. sound on the verge of falling apart throughout the album, as and relentlessly trade buzz-saw riffs while sings, shouts, and sashays on top of the racket. Band originals -- including the bluesy raver "It's Too Late," the noisy girl-group pop of "Puss N' Boots," and the showcase "Chatterbox" -- are rounded out by obscure R&B and rock & roll covers tailor-made for the group. vamps throughout 's "Bad Detective," 's "(There's Gonna Be A) Showdown," "Stranded in the Jungle," and 's "Don't Start Me Talkin'," yet it's with grit and affection -- he really means it, man! The whole record collapses with the scathing "Human Being," on which a bunch of cross-dressing misfits defiantly declare that it's OK that they want too many things, 'cause they're human beings, just like you and me. Three years later, failed to come up with anything as musically visceral and dangerous. Perhaps that's why never found their audience in the early '70s: Not only were they punk rock before punk rock was cool, but they remained weirder and more idiosyncratic than any of the bands that followed. And they rocked harder, too."
