Originally released in 1991, the fifth studio album from The Cramps saw them adding an extra dollop of "heavy" to their already rough-edged rockabilly/punk sound. With new drummer Jim Sclavunos (of The Bad Seeds, Sonic Youth, and Teenage Jesus and the Jerks) on the kit, The Cramps sound not revitalised exactly, but certainly intent on having a ridiculous and overblown time. The filth and humour-encrusted rock 'n' roll of 'Two Headed Sex Change' and 'Bend Over I'll Drive' are in perfectly poor taste, and would find themselves at home soundtracking a John Waters or Ed Wood movie. 'I Wanna Get In Your Pants' finds The Cramps taking The Kingsmen to a drive-in, making salacious comments throughout the trailers, placing the popcorn carton on their lap (you know that move) and defiling 'Louie Louie', just for giggles. The highlight is undoubtedly 'Miniskirt Blues', a brilliantly filthy romp which features Iggy Pop. Naturally he fits in perfectly, which inevitably raises the question of whether he should have become an honorary member. His presence on the hilarious date-from-hell tale of 'Eyeball In My Martini' would have been sublime. Nevertheless, it sums up The Cramps' approach on this album. Big. Dumb. Fun.
