This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Kick out the jams, brothers and sisters; Montreal’s Tricky Woo are back. And this time they’ve got their mojo working overtime.
Sometimes I Cry, their third full-length, is an undisputed, undiluted, overdriven rawk masterpiece, gene-splicing the Motown metal of The MC5, the hoodoo-punk insanity of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and the Sha-Na-Na-goes-ballistic firepower of Rocket From The Crypt. When they say they “get up in the morning just to get down,” you know it’s true; when they say they’re “gonna save you with rock ’n’ roll,” you believe, baby, you believe. And, like all truly great bands, they know how to use the most important instrument in rock: The cowbell. Now, are you gonna be part of the solution — or part of the problem?
