Leirbag Javan I discovered The Muggs as a kid on myspace, and downloaded the 3 free preview tracks and kept listenning to it until today. Now that I earn a little money, I finally bought the full album which turns out to be as amazing as I thought, and even more. I think that the best music is produced when the band is consicous of their limits and pushed to make the most of it. It's the case here.
Catchy bluesy riffs and incredible sound production... It's real rock people! Favorite track: Rollin' B-Side Blues.

Steve Rodger This would also be awesome on heavy vinyl although how will I connect a turntable in the car ? Favorite track: Gonna Need My Help.

    The Muggs
    The Muggs(S/T)
    Release Date: 7/16/2005

    The power trio is not a term to be used lightly -- for every Blue Cheer there's a Blink-182 -- but when it's applied to the electrifying cacophony emitted by the Muggs, it's almost not enough. The Detroit-based threesome is a power trio the way that Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath were -- Robert Plant and Ozzy are cultural icons, but it's what went on behind them that launched a million rock bands. The Muggs guitarist Danny Methric's solos transcend the blues that spawned them by sneaking out of their major and minor trajectories without a care in the world, while drummer Matt Rost and bass player Tony DeNardo -- the latter switched to the lower register on a Fender Rhodes after suffering a hemorrhagic stroke in 2001 that left his right side paralyzed -- sound as if they're joined at the shoulders. This is stadium rock trapped in a club and looking for a way out with every intention of burning the roof down -- not in a Great White kind of way -- that brings to mind '70s classic rock like AC/DC, Humble Pie, and Mountain. What sets the Muggs apart from questionable blues-rock revivalists like the Kings Of Leon is their complete lack of pretense. Perfectly rendered guitar rock is at its essence the simple practice of fusing together a bass and guitar lead that jumps into the pit of your stomach and stays there, something the Muggs have obviously mastered on standout cuts like "Need Ya Baby," "Monster," "Gonna Need My Help" & "Doc Mode" but they're not above taking the listener through a space rock mid-section that owes more to Piper At The Gates Of Dawn-era Pink Floyd than it does Ten Years After. It's that perfectly balanced allegiance to both discipline -- these gentlemen are obviously no strangers to the rehearsal room -- and balls-out rock & roll hedonism that makes this self-titled debut, when inserted into the medium of your choice, turn up all by itself.

You leave home in the morning, you don't come back until night Don't cook me no food, but I swear that you'll treat me right You gonna need, you gonna need my help, I said Don't have to worry, I got every little thing comin' my way You can read out yer bible, you can pray to the lord You can go on to church, but I swear, it won't do you no good You gonna need, you gonna need my help, I said Don't have to worry, I got every little thing comin' my way You get up in the morning girl, with yer face full of frowns You know I ask what's the matter and you say that yer puttin' me down You gonna need, you gonna need my help, I said Don't have to worry, I got every little thing comin' my way

Hard road runnin' down, I ain't comin' home too soon Hots on for nowhere, I'm laid out on the cutting room I'm just rollin' with the parts I gotta play Where I hit all my marks, and call it a day They've been tellin' me, I'm wastin' all my time on you Stuck on the b side, I can't move 'til you tell me to I've been thinkin' 'bout the parts I gotta play But my head and my heart, get in my way Hard road runnin' down, I ain't comin' home too soon Hots on for nowhere, I'm laid out on the cutting room I'm just rollin' with the parts I gotta play Where I hit all my marks, and call it a day

"Monster" 05:50
Not much, is what I settled to be, I got flies all over me You sold my sight and left my eyes Tried hard to walk away, leave it where you found it Isn't that what you said Tried hard to save the day This is for the young ones pissin' their lives away I know, yer tellin' stories of me, but I, I gotta story for you You keep the truth and sell the lies Tied down and washed away, listen to the ocean Isn't that what you said I tried to save the day This is for the young ones pissin' their lives away Tried hard to save the day This is for the young ones pissin' their lives away Tied down and washed away Leave it where you found it, isn't that what you said Isn't that what you said

Should've learned my lesson, my baby's come and gone Should've learned my lesson, my baby's come and gone Should've known the difference, between what's right and what's wrong Should've count my blessings, before I left that town Should've count my blessings, before I left that town Should've known the better, before you strung me around Should've learned my lesson, my baby's come and gone Should've learned my lesson, my baby's come and gone Should've known the better, before you strung me along

Bill Heid, Heid, Heid, the blues all change from day to day Bill Heid, Heid, Heid, those long hairs just don't make the grade We revved it up, and knocked it down, 'til the groove was black and blue Now they'll have to live with the mess Cause there ain't nothin' wrong with those white boy blues I get by, by, by, I keep on movin' every day I get by, by, by, I got them blues in every way Walked the walk, and talked the talk, 'til there's nothin' left to say Keep on fightin', nothin' left to lose Cause there ain't nothin' wrong with those white boy blues Bill Heid, Heid, Heid, the blues all change from day to day Bill Heid, Heid, Heid, those long hairs just don't make the grade Walked the walk, and talked the talk, 'til there's nothin' left to say Keep on fightin', nothin' left to lose Cause there ain't nothing wrong with those white boy blues

Hard Love 04:00
Every time you left me guessin', you had an answer for the fool I'm up for all yer suggestions, but I've had enough for two With a pint of love and a fifth of reason All I feel turns to hard love waiting for you, I was waiting for you I ain't one for yer bitchin', find another ear to chew You made a name, and you blew it, I guess a hard love fell on you With a pint of love and a fifth of reason All I feel turns to hard love waiting for you, I was waiting for you

Said & Done 05:29
I'm holding hands with a stranger, my head is full of disease But everything's gonna be alright You said yer life was in danger, I didn't wanna believe But everything's gonna be alright No use thinkin' 'bout tomorrow Salvation just outside my reach Gotta steal, beg, or borrow Just to get a little peace I'm staring at my reflection, and only thinkin' of you and everything's gonna be alright I couldn't help my reaction, I knew you wanted me to But everything's gonna be alright No use thinkin' 'bout tomorrow Salvation just ain't what it seems Although my heart is filled with sorrow Until I see you in my dreams

Tell me baby, you got me on my knees Tell me honey, you got me on my knees Give me baby, a little lovin', if you please Drive me crazy, I'm goin' outta my head Drive me crazy, I'm goin' outta my head Give me lovin', or I might just end up dead Tell me baby, you got me on my knees Tell me honey, you got me on my knees Give me baby, a little lovin' if you please Ohh if you please, ohh if you please Ohh if you please

Doc Mode 07:06
Don't lean on me, I can barely hold my own Don't lean on me, I think I'd rather stand alone When you have money son, well that's, so hard to keep And when I'm diggin' holes, I make them deep Sittin' on the outside, sittin' on the outside Don't call on me, I hear voices of my own Don't fall on me, I'm down hearted don't you know When you have tremors bad, well they're, so hard to shake Could go cold turkey though, but you can't stand the weight Sittin' on the outside, sittin' on the outside Don't lean on me, I can barely hold my own Don't lean on me, I have problems of my own When you have money son, well that's, so hard to keep And when I'm diggin' holes, I make them deep Sittin' on the outside, sittin' on the outside
