"The Ghoulies are back, and that's always a reason to celebrate! "Travels With My Amp" marks one of their most polished efforts to date: on par in every way with "Fun in the Dark." Like that previous album, this one also shoots its wad a bit early. All of the best tracks are right up front and the track list seems to loose momentum towards the end. But the whole Ghoulie experience is so much fun ( right down to the terrific packaging and wacky road map), no true fan will bother complaining much. "Bye Bye Brain" is hats down the best Groovie Ghoulies song to date, and would certainly have a good shot at being a hit single if given the radio play it deserves. It's almost as if the band were channeling the spirits of the Ramones at their peak. Very infectious and damn near explosive. "The Highway Man" is also one of the best songs the band has yet recorded. It's simple and fun, the way a good Ghoulies song should be. There are three or four more really good tracks, and "Travels With My Amp" ranks right up there with "Fun in the Dark" and "Re-Animation Festival" as one of my favorite GG CDs so far. I keep hoping the Ghoulies will release a greatest hits CD with all of their best songs, like "Carly Simon," "Tunnel of Love," "Zombie Crush" ( as well as many others) with some of the new stuff so I can go out and recruit more Ghoulies fans. Check this one out."

"this is a fine cd, it has lots of slow songs, and some fast ones, they are all good. but if this is your first time buying ghoulies y recomend you to buy "fun in the dark" , then, for the second cd buy this one."
