This may actually be my fave over the Eatin' Dirt CD. FU MANCHU play a brand of 70's type stoner rock/metal, inspired by Black Sabbath obviously, but add their own vitality. Daredevil is more energetic in my opinion, but still you know these guys are too lazy to grocery shop, they hit the 7-11 instead. Fu Manchu should have been played all the time on mainstream rock radio instead of overrated acts like Soundgarden, or hearing AC/DC's Thunderstruck for the billionth time.

Daredevil gets closer to Monster magnet heaviness still with the catchiness of The Monoxides and early Sabbath. This 1995 CD is worth purchasing.
