## Description

Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Reissue of this album from the mutant primal Rock 'n' Roll dynamos. The architects of a wicked toxibilly sound, The Cramps boast a cultural impact that spawned a legion of devil cults and left in it's wake a cavalcade of cave-stomping imitators. On their final studio album, the self-produced FIENDS OF DOPE ISLAND, these charm-school rejects apply their sinister handiwork to a volatile combination of incantational rock 'n' roll hexes like 'Big Black Witchcraft Rock' and 'Papa Satan Sang Louie' and put their hoodlum warp on exotica standard 'Taboo' before swerving and careening through the crypt-kickin' blues rave-ups 'Dope fiend Boogie' and 'Wrong Way Ticket,' finishing with the musical equivalent of a 13-car pile-up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Their best album after all this time, amazing
*by D***N on June 3, 2003*

I have been a cramps fan since college, over fifteen yrears. Although I thought some of the songs on Big Beat From Badsville were great, i.e. Like a Bad Girl Should, that album as a whole was just decent. After five years without an album I felt fairly certain that they had split. I actually expected this album not to be so good. I was wrong. As a whole album this is by far their best effort. I have all of their albums and this is one of the few that is excellent from start to finish. I was thrilled with it from the first listen and it only sounds better with time. If a had to pick only one Cramps album this would be the one. I saw them in Ashville, NC and I hope to see them again before they finish their tour. They are one of the few bands that are actually better live than on CD. If you want a truly entertaining show this is the band to see. Ashville is the third time I have seen them and everytime has been awesome. If you like any of their albums you should definitely enjoy this one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by T***R on May 10, 2018*

Hail the CRAMPS!

### ⭐⭐⭐ Worth owning if you're a diehard fan, BUT...
*by S***Y on April 22, 2003*

This CD was a letdown in alot of ways for me. After five years in waiting for this new album, I guess I was expecting The Cramps to be exploding with fresh ideas and energy. Not so with Fiends. The energy of this disc feels tired overall. I love the opening track, and Papa Satan Sang Louie, but from there I think I could've fallen asleep doing the dishes until Wrong Way Ticket kicks in to wake me up and let me know it's time to change the disc. I love just about everything Cramps, they are probably one of my favorite bands of all time. The last few records before this I thought were awesome, and showed a new loudness to their sound. But this just came off as forced. Lux sounds bored, and the whole band seems to just be going through the motions (something people have said before that I've wholeheartedly disagreed with until now). Definitely not the disc to start with for potential Cramps' fans. You'll be much happier with Big Beat From Badsville, Stay Sick, Smell of Female, and of course, Bad Music For Bad People. Also, they easily put on one of the best live shows of all time, so definitely check them out if you get a chance.
