"As a "die"-hard Deadbolt fan, the guys do not disappoint with their latest CD. I Should Have Killed You. From the opening self titled track, right away you know its Deadbolt. Again, not a song goes by that I don't enjoy... some highlight... Telephone the Dead, Tell Me Where He Lies, but my FAVORITE is the bands rendition of Big John... their added verses at the end are Deadbolt through and through! Of course not suited for all audiences and my only disappointment was no reference to Patches the Clown?"

As Deadbolt albums go, this one blows.

""Die-hard" Deadbolt fan or not, this one blows when compared to the other Deadbolt albums. The only thing "deadly" about it is the hit you're wallet will take.



If this is your first Deadbolt album, go buy a different one: Tiki Man, Tijuana Hit Squad, Voodoo Trucker, Zulu Death Mask, even Hobo Babylon before purchasing this one. If you're buying a second, third or fourth Deadbolt album, try and listen to the samples first. I didn't and I wish I had.



Singing, melodies, rhyming and clean mixes were never part of Deadbolt's vocabulary. They started to change with Hobo Babylon, choosing to bleep out most of their swearing for some reason (some claimed this was all part of an inside joke), but even that album was true to their heard-one-heard-'em-all approach.



I Should Have Killed You on the other hand sounds like they're getting soft, or the inside joke that was supposedly going on in Hobo Babylon got out of hand."

Deadbolt Delivers Again!

"Deadbolt's new cd "I Should Have Killed You" seems to bring this band full circle in that it reminds me very much of their first cd "Shrunken Head". There is a pervasive gloom surrounding this whole cd (wonderfully Deadbolt!)and it seems to be their tightest and most polished cd yet. The drumming is fantastic courtesy of Tank. Stand out songs are "Scary Voodoo Girl", "Telephone the Dead", and "Tell Me Where He Lies". See if you can catch the awesome "Tijuana Hit Squad" reference in "Spot Where They Gunned Him Down"! If you're already a fan it is a must have of course. If you're new to Deadbolt, I would highly recommend "Voodoo Trucker", "Tiki Man", and "Tijuana Hit Squad" as well. Enjoy!"
