It's actually just LIKE a trash bag helmet

"I expected no less amount of one star reviews to be listed under this album. Personally, I love Whirlwind Heat and I love their music. To be perfectly honest, I can't recommend it to anybody unless I knew them personally. Quite frankly, their music is not for everyone, and while it gets annoyingly cliched to say they sound like primates equipped musical instruments, it could be true depending on your own individual tastes. I don't think anyone I know who likes Whirlwind Heat (and who wasn't introduced to it with an open mind) liked them at first--it's usually a gradual process in which the realization dawns that "hey. They're pretty damn cool." At any rate, I think the fact they're produced by Jack White puts very much stock into what they would sound like--the only thing it guarantees is that they'll be original. If you're open to original, and are have a pretty stable and broad definition of what is enjoyable, then you may like this album."

"I can understand why people don't really like them; I didn't either on first listen. Frankly, I thought that they were junk not worth my money. But, lo and behold, two months later when I gave them another try, I found that they really weren't bad at all. Compare them to the 'youth noise' bands around like 'erase errata' or 'the supreme indiferrence' and you'll see that they are very similar. Great, catchy instrumentals, especially on the bass. While vocals and lyrics could be a bit better, I think that they'll get better with time."

Good lord!

"this band is loud and quite obnoxious. but i love them. hell i also like deerhoof, ex models and xiu xiu. so if you can handle any of those bands you may enjoy this one (though whirlwind heat sounds like none of those bands.... or any other band really.)"
