Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect Comment: MC5. Punk rock heroes. This live performance is the perfect view on them and their times. Customer Rating: Summary: CD MC 5 Comment: MC5 was one of the best rock bands in the 60's. Kick Out The Jams is my fav. I rate it a 10. Customer Rating: Summary: I give you a testimonial...... Comment: For the uninitiated..hold onto something, this cd will blow you away!! Not punk..not metal..not jazz or blues..but containing elements of all and blasted out with more volume and energy than humanly possible! Yep, it's from Detroit..and even contains a bit o' soul for good measure. Although many bands are credited with being the 1st at a specific genre..Blue Cheer-metal...Ramones-punk...etc....the Mc5 predate them all.{and blow 'em away} This was ahead of it's time and still sounds impressive today. I saw 'em live back in the day and still have the hearing loss to prove it! If you are into anything remotely heavy, you owe it to yourself to check this out...these guys invented "heavy". Customer Rating: Summary: DOCUMENTO EXPLOSIVO E IRREPETIBLE!!!! Comment: ESTA EDICION ,QUE GUARDA LA INCANDESCENTE ACTUACION DE MC5, DEBE SER UNO DE LOS TESTIMONIOS EN VIVO MAS CREIBLES DE TODA UNA EPOCA, MUY PARTICULAR, POR CIERTO... LA CRUDEZA, DESPROLIJIDAD Y CREDIBILIDAD DE ESTE SONIDO REALMENTE ERIZA LA PIEL...ES COMO HABER ESTADO AHI..EN ESE PRECISO INSTANTE DONDE DOS GUITARRAS DESQUICIADAS DESMORONAN CONVENCIONALISMOS QUE LAMENTABLEMENTE HOY SIGUEN PRESENTES... ES LA EXPLOSION DE UN VOLCAN QUE LUEGO SE APAGARIA PARA SIEMPRE, PERPETUANDO NO ERUPCIONES SINO ERUPTOS QUE TOMARIAN LA FORMA DEL PUNK ROCK..... Customer Rating: Summary: Best Hard Rock Comment: This is insane for 1968. Comparable to Motorhead, and years ahead of it's time. It would definately give Lemmy a run for his money, and even many modern alternative artists such as Disturbed don't even compare to the ridiculous hardness of the MC5. Rock On! More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Kick Out The Jams still sounds astonishingly powerful after almost 30 years. Recorded live at Detroit's Grande Ballroom in 1968, this relentless, aggressive set offers the frenzy of politicized garage punks blasting through giant stacks: a blitzkrieg of hard rock ignited from the dueling guitars of Wayne Kramer and Fred Sonic Smith and of the throttled vocals of Rob Tyner. The Stooges with barricade-busting ideals, the Five turned the Motor City into a Mecca of sonic excess and shattered the dazed dreams of hippie America. From the pounding of the title track to the eight-and-a half-minute weirdout of "Sun Ra's "Starship,"" Kick Out The Jams will rip your head to shreds. --Barney Hoskyns
