author: KeelyThis album is great, it is just good rock and roll with insanlely funny lyrics. I definitely recommend this to anyone who appretiates comedic music.

author: Smother.netSee there are artists that can revisit rock-n-roll?s greatest hits without coming out as generic and wishy-washy as Lenny Kravitz. One perfect example is The Volunteers who shrug off the nuisance of their ?The? title, not opting for a typical garage retro rock sound that most of those ?The? bands have been employing lately. Sure they have a quick look around at The Rolling Stones and on songs like ?Whore? and ?Lolita? have as much swagger as Jagger could muster in his pre-40?s, but there not this lame creation of a major label to appeal to the sound of the moment. For a debut this is damn strong and will easily be marketable out of the close reaches of their native New York City.

The first two songs ("So Deep for so Cheap," & "Whore") are straight out-of-the-box, sex/drugs/ rock 'n roll, punk rock tunes!! I mean yeah, it's the same old story, but The Volunteers add some poignant lyrics and social commentary laced with humor. They make an old story fresh again, all the while rockin' out. These guys dish out pure animal joy and atomic rage all through this disc. An explosion of punk rock noise and lead singer/guitarist Dan Goddard's evil, menacing (think Iggy Pop) snarl. Songs like "Real Man" & "Blanket of Drugs" are a shock wave of big-amp purity, the likes of which doesn't get heard much. You'll also hear some cool vulnerable pop sensibilities woven through the lyrics, and Goddard's hyper-kinetic vocals. The Volunteers can walk that fine line between 'fuck-'em-all/I don't give a shit choruses, and well-meaning sincerity. That's what makes this a masterpiece!

The Volunteers' (Buy It!)self-released, self-titled album serves up sleazy, indisputably wrong scuzz-rock along the lines of the album-opener "Whore," which demands to know, "Whatever happened to sex and drugs? / I don't give a fuck about rock 'n' roll." The band's sensitive side comes out in "Homos," a mini-essay on evolution and political correctness, while "Blanket Of Drugs" is softly, sweetly pro-narcotic.
Just Fun
author: John DavisJust a fun cd. Loved the Homos Song
What the fuck else could you ever ask for?

really different from all the mainstream crap!
author: Kariann CookI love the cd because it's really different from all the mainstream crap. It has awesome beats and you can't help but sing along to all the songs. The lyrics are awesome and at times random which makes it even better!!! I'm making all my friends listen to it and they love it too! The best songs are probably "So deep for so cheap" or "Homos" but I can't decide. I love them all!
