"It's not everyday you hear a CD that is great from the first note to the decay of the last chord, but Metallic I.O.U. is one of them. The songs are well written and performed (guitarist Jimmy James deserves kudos for his lead and slide work on the record)- these guys live what they sing about and offer no apologies for it. "Downtown," "Bent," "I Luv You," "Broke, Drunk & Stoned" and a killer cover of the Lords of the New Church's "Russian Roulette" stand out. The CD is just cool all the way through."

Great album.

"I recommend both this album and the previous one, which may no longer be available. I've followed The Hangmen in LA for years. Great shows too."

The Hangmen Rip It UP!

"Brian Small and The Hangmen are worth every nickel you'd spend -- either at a live show -- or here on this disc. It's 38 minutes of pure unadulterated rock and roll.You will not be disappointed from the opener of "Downtown" where one finds all the seediest "Loners, Junkies & Liquor Stores" through the hate/love message of "I Luv U" to the most mesmerizing song "Blue Light." A truly well crafted and tension filled album from a person whose lived the songs."
