Best Album of 2003/2004.......2005-01-30
A+ offering from one of the rock world's hidden treasures.......2004-10-06
Shiny, Powerful Rock!.......2004-08-16
Released 11 years too late.......2004-06-12
Everyone's review highlights their lyrical and musical content, but the review I think that best sums them up was written back in '93, quoting them as being 'Somewhere between Ministry and The Beach Boys'.
Good to have them still around; I'm glad I held onto the Get Well card they gave to me, with Ginger so honestly writting "Get well soon ya F@$ker!". Good Times
One of the best CD's of the last several years.......2004-05-26
If you enjoy your Rock'N'Roll with contrasts and dynamics, "...Must be Destroyed" is IT. It is 100% energy throughout with contrasts in tempo and heaviness. These are tightly crafted songs with more hooks than Babe Winkelman's tackle box.
The album takes off like a rocket with "Nexus Icon". This is as strong an opening statement that you could ever hope for on an album. The Wildhearts are giving a hearty middle finger to the current state of pop culture on this one.
"Only Love" is the song that should be released as a single YESTERDAY. It's one of those rare songs that feels familiar even though it's brand new. It's Rock'N'Roll enough to have an edge, but it also has a chorus that will infiltrate your gray matter and not let go. If I ever get Alzheimer's, I'll still be singing this one.
"Someone That Won't Let Me Go" is in the same vein as "Only Love" and almost feels like a continuation (ala Journey's "Feeling That Way/Anytime").
"Vanilla Radio" is a fist-pumping number that translates GREAT in concert. This is one of the CD's heavier tracks, but as everything else on this CD, has an incredible hook.
"One Love..." definitely sports an early Beatles influence but is still uniquely Wildhearts. It is a mid-tempo pop number, and is the softest track on the CD. It sets the table for the jolt awaiting on the next track.
"Get Your Groove On" is a very short assault on the senses with a cameo by Justin Hawkins (of the Darkness - for those who have been in a broom closet for the last six months). It is the heaviest track and plays like a watershed between the first and second half of the CD.
"So into You" is an up tempo track with some of the most memorable lyrics on the CD. This is sounding redundant, but this song also has an A+ hook. The chorus is very well done with a great guitar line that echoes the chorus. By this point, you realize that you have placed your ears in the hands of a song-writing master craftsman.
"There's Only One Hell" plays a lot more upbeat than the title suggests. It's about looking someone in the eye and saying "do your worst!" The tone of tongue-in-cheek defiance exemplifies what great Rock'N'Roll is made of.
"It's All Up to Me" features a very percussive chorus, which provides a good contrast to the other songs on the CD. Following "There's Only One Hell" which lays the blame at the foot of the other person, "It's All Up to Me" is a 180-degree response.
"Out from the Inside" is a crunchy song about perspective. This could be interpreted as the aftermath of the previous two tracks, but I am probably reading too much into it.
The CD concludes with a masterpiece. "Top of the World" is a timeless anthem that is the gift wrap on the entire package. The best lyric on the whole set is the "agony and ecstasy" line. This song is perfect. If you play guitar or drums, "Top of the World" will inspire you to pick up your instrument.
There is not a clunker on the CD. It was worth the extra $$$ as an import, and now that it's available as a domestic release there are no excuses to not own it. With proper label support and airplay, there is no reason why this band should not be dominating the airwaves. I just discovered the Wildhearts through their tour with the Darkness, but this is a band that I will be listening to until I die. These songs are timeless. If you don't want to take my word for it, look up the Spin magazine review.

INCREDIBLE ALBUM THAT RESTORES YOUR FAITH IN...ROCK.......2004-03-08
Mott Must Be Destroyed.......2004-02-21
The Wildhearts have had top ten hit singles. `I Wanna Go Where the People Go' reached number 6 in the U.K. and the album 'Fishing for Luckies' actually reached number one. They somehow managed to get pulled off the support slot for AC/DC's Stateside trip due to lack of finances from the management. Always on the verge of Superstardom, but always managing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
They succeeded splitting up in 1999, but here we are in 2004 with a newly released album and a lineup that would make Spinal Tap look like a regular gig. They have managed to patch up the relationships and returned to the (almost) lineup that recorded their first album in 1993, `Earth vs. the Wildhearts'. After years of bickering, CJ has overcome his differences and came back into the fold (perhaps helped by the fact that CJ now lives in Japan, whilst the rest of the band live in England, only getting together for recording and touring).
The mighty Stidi is back on the thundering Wildhearts' drums. This man sure hits the bins hard.
Unfortunately Danny McCormack (the only one with a straight forward name - "Stidi" indeed), the original bass player and firm fan favorite, is presently not in the correct physical health to re-join the band. However, the door is apparently always open if he can get himself into a fit condition. On the other hand, his bass-playing shoes are well filled on the road by Jon 'the Loon' Poole.
Then out front on lead guitar and lead vocals is chief songwriter and the world's most loveable nutter, Ginger, the only constant factor in the lineup. In fact, it could be said he is 'The Wildhearts'. Ginger's favorite vacation spot is also Pattaya, which certifies him as a good bloke, doesn't it?
Has the passage of time slowed down the Wildhearts? No, not a bit. It's still pure straight down the line Rock 'n' Roll with the catchiest hook lines, crunching guitars, and that certain madness that sends the blood pounding. It's like a cross between Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Heavy Rock, Grunge, Pop, Metal......... It's the Wildhearts right; it rocks.
On `Must Be Destroyed' you get eleven ditties to bang your head to. Nine were written by Ginger, one co-written by Ginger/Jagdhar (`So Into You'), and one by C. Jagdhar (`Out From The Inside' - funny how they can remember their real names when it comes to songwriting royalties). They all have their little stories to tell.
Opening track 'Nexus Icon' is all about rock stars who have become a little too big for their boots. 'One Love, One Life, One Girl' is all about Ginger's new found life in a stable relationship, and so on. For once in Rock 'n' Roll the lyric sheets that come with the C.D. are actually worth reading and not just a load of words that happen to rhyme. The booklet with its illustrations makes the C.D. worth buying alone, especially the one that goes with `Top of the World'.
All sung in Ginger's distinctive Geordie drawl. Mind you, I've never heard a Geordie, or for that matter anyone, sing that fast on the real belters such as `Get Your Groove'. Ginger and CJ crank the guitar riffs up to eleven and just let go. Ginger lays down many memorable solos that are gut wrenching in their power, whilst the rhythm section drives them on faster and faster to ever greater heights.
You also get guest appearances from Andy Cairns and some high pitched yodeling from the now very famous Justin Hawkins of Darkness. The Wildhearts are at present (January 2004) out on the road in Britain with The Darkness, a double bill that should raise the roof every night.

Wildhearts Must be Destroyed? Rubbish. They should be cherished as an institution.

Note that the correct title of this album is The Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed. That title may be a little too rock for some people [~doomsdayer520~]
