 Diamond Dogs Too Much Is Always Better Than Not Enough By Frank Meyer, Contributing Editor Monday, March 31, 2003 @ 12:35 AM
From the opening salvo of "Charity Song," the band are in full on
Amorica-mode, penning drug-addled anthems for boozers and brawlers
alike. "Bound To Ravage" is a shit kickin', barn-burning rocker ala the
Stones "Rip This Joint" or any other Chuck Berry-inspired rocker. Want one
of those sugar sweet, Rod Stewart-like ballads? Got it with "Sad To Say I'm
Sorry." Want one of those Gospel-tinged blues ballads? Got it in the form of
"Somebody Else's Lord." Dig those Crowes-y mid-tempo groovers? "Check out
"All Strung Out." Yes, folks, it's all here. Original, hell no. Mighty
rockin', you betcha!
Short and sweet, rockin' yet rollin', Too Much Is Always Better… is a
dose of straight up rock n' roll and is just what the doctor ordered in
these days of nu-metal bombast and garage-punk wannabes. So saddle up to the
bar, order a shot, blast this one on the ol' jukebox, and watch as the crowd
gets all sexed up and unruley and the bottles start to fly.

Taking their cues from the Faces, Stones and Black Crowes, Diamond Dogs
careen into their sophomore full-length like a drunken sailor looking for a
fight. Featuring Hellacopters pianist Anders "Boba Fett" Lindstrom on
guitars alongside six other rockin' dudes, Diamond Dogs fuse bluesy barroom
boogie with R&B strut and hard rock swagger to create a sounds that fans of
classic rock are sure to dig, maybe even a few blues-based metal heads
too.
