The Filthy Horror Show CD Review
by Nathan Summers, Host of Rocky Radio

Ok, here's my honest assessment of this cd.  Please do not take offense if I gave you a bad review.  it's not personal and ONLY my opinion, so while I may hate it, others may love it.  Just wanted that out of the way.  Don't like my review?  Read KevJB's here.  So here's my review and in no particular order (this is how they were in iTunes):

Eddie by Alex Tornado
First thought is he's playing a Gretsch, by the sound. Great rockabilly sound. Not sure if I like the voice or not. Should have had some effects during the chorus.

Hot Patootie by Billy Ruffian
First move away from the mic. The vocal is overpowering the music, which I love, but the lead singer's voice is too loud to be enjoyable. Kept it close to the original. No sax solo, but the guitar is ok.

SciFi/DF by Captain Polaroid
I like this one. Very Bowie-esque.

Touch-A, Touch-A Me by Colette McKendrick
Lovely voice. I mean that. The guitar, not so much. I love the chorus on the bridge and chorus. Adds a lot to the song.

Dammit Janet by Control-R
This is a great song. He (Brad) truly encompasses the asshole aspect and I mean that in a good way. The only thing I do NOT like is he uses a callback (Oh .... SHIT) and that kind of killed it for me, but it's still done VERY well.

I'm going Home by FAUXfoe featuring Dorian Wood
I'm not really a techno fan. Anyone remember Damian's "Time Warp"? 'Nuff said about this one. I am not saying it's bad, but I hate techno sounding music, so I am against it based on that.

Sword of Damocles by Glasgow Glam Bangers Feat. Scunner
As a former Rocky, I love all aspects/songs that the Rocky character would have. This is, however, NOT one of them. Too drab. Too boring. I am falling asleep listening to it now.

Rose Tint My World by The Housewives
I hate the guitar. I hate the organ. I hate the pace. I hate the fact that they re-wrote the song. Someone tell me where, in any OTHER version of this song do we hear "Rose Tint's My World That Keeps Me" repeated over and over as the chorus? I hate this version.

Over At The Frankenstein Place by Kelly Kapowski
Has potential, 34 seconds in. Wow. I like this one. I would like to have heard the original versions used ("I can see the flag fly..."), but all in all, this is a decent sounding track. Good job!

Super Heroes by Kissing Kalina
Two seconds in and I do NOT like it and I LOVE big drums. Wait, there's the vocal. Nope, don't like this one so far. Kind of hard on the ears and this is ONE track that doesn't really get better with the use of vocal effects.

Charles Atlas Song (which they call I Can Make You A Man) by Later
This just flat out sucks. No saving grace for this one. Not worth the free download. My 6 year old could do a better job. Was the record popping and feedback intentional? If so, WHY? This version SUCKS.  
Rating: 

Sweet Transvestite by Roman Rappak featuring Ian Sampson
Too many vocal processors and effects. He sounds bored recording this. I know I'm bored listening to it.  
Rating: 

Planet Schmanet Janet by Scunner
I LIKE THIS ONE ... except the end. Just killed it. Damn, I liked this one too. But the end sucks a dick.  
Rating: 

Floorshow/Fanfare/Don't Dream It (Be It) by The Sexual Hot Bitches
This is what it would sound like if a Gwen Stefani wannabe with an effect on their mic was screaming and annoying. Oh, yeah, if you are going to yell 1, 2, 3, 4 and then NOT go into something that rocks, well, don't yell it. This song is fucking annoying. Sorry.  
Rating: 

The Time Warp by Shock and Awe
My LEAST favorite track. Boring, boring boring. Boo! This just really must have been filler for this CD. Did no one else submit a song? This is fucking ridiculous. Is that a MIDI backing track? Christ, this sucks. 1:10 in and I am turning it off. Do NOT waste your time with this one. Not even worth having in a collection.  

Rating:  I REFUSE TO RATE THIS PIECE OF SHIT

I Can Make You A Man (Reprise) by The Star Fighter Pilot
Um ... it started with something about "how we do it in Palestine", which has exactly .. well, nothing, to do with the movie. This song is bad. I hope they get better. This is a sad sad day. Why re-write it? Fuck this song. Next ...

Once In A While by Start The Fans Please!
Haven't even hit play yet, but I have HIGH hopes for this one since it's NOT heard that much. Nope. it sucks. Why do all these people singing sound so fucking bored with doing this? Why even bother?

SciFi/DF (Reprise) by Wojtek Godzisz
FUCK YES! THIS is what it's supposed to sound like. This is my NEW favorite track from this collection! BRAVO!!! Incredibly well done. Captures the essence VERY well! I LOVE this version!!!
