Rip This retains BDoD s trademark sorry-for-partyin swagger while scrapping the crackling hiss and lo-fi fuzz. The result is an record that still relies on an obliterating attack of heavy guitars, danceable hooks, and kinetic drumming, but will appeal as much to KISS fans as the music freaks and geeks who worship Nuggets. Both a challenge to music critics and a rock call-to-arms, the title says it all. You re not going to hear many records this year that rip like this, so shotgun a beer, tune in, and turn up.
