Groundbreaking Album
James S. Trotter | Bellevue, NE United States | 08/20/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Every now and again a groundbreaking album comes out that opens doors and blows socks off. We all know them: Highway 61 Revisited, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Never Mind the Bullocks, London Calling, etc. This is one of those albums. Drawing on a bedrock of solid blues and rock, this album breaks genre lines and demands to be heard. I can't adequately explain it, it just must be heard. One thing I will briefly indulge is his voice. I have honestly never heard anything like it. In one line, he goes from blues crooning and croaking to a wail and then a panty-melting Princesque falsetto that intertwines with his thin, mercurial guitar. If there was one album this year you would have to take to your desert island with you, this is the one."
MUGI-Boogie Woogie! Woogie!
A. Stewart | New Haven, CT USA | 08/26/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)

"What an album! After three years of waiting for a follow up to "Mugimama? Is this Monkey Music?" Mugison returns with "Mugiboogie," a straight to hell bluesy rock trip that will make your ears perk and want to tell everyone you know about this rocking band. 'Monkey Music' was a recipe of mind boggling lyrics, romance and rock, all thrown together towards great cohesion. 'Mugiboogie' takes it too another level: the songs are tighter and louder, the lyrics mysterious and fun (!) and with a full rock band Mugison reaches to a full new level of greatness. The band is from Iceland but have tapped into an American rock vein that seems to be lacking here in the States. Mugiboogie is like listening to a 'Classic Rock Record' but its current, new, electrifying and if you couldn't tell, awesome. I can't recommend this product enough.

I was lucky enough to see Mugison at the Hiro Ballroom in New York City a few months back and it rocked my face off. I was glad to see them at such a small level and look forward to what other offerings this sweet band has to offer. I only wish that this album had been release in the United States earlier so that I could have listened to it all summer long. Put Mugiboogie into your pipe and smoke it. Smoke it hard."
