Sounds Like: "Ghosts and Vodka's 'Precious Blood', the Chicago four-piece's full-length debut, proves that you shouldnt judge an album by its accompanying artwork. Get past the lurid, often pornographic cartoon drawings meant to 'go along with the stories' of the songs, and you'll find 12 tracks of exceedingly energetic instrumental rock with a surprising abundance of melodic hooks. 'Precious Blood' is a wealth of kick-ass rock!" ---Billboard.Com (Top 10 Pick of 2001)"Tunes that are rich and evocative in their purely sonic realm. More abstract than Pell Mell, more convoluted than Forever Einstein, this is smartly arranged and rendered music". ---Pulse! Magazine (Tower Records)"The music's great - off kilter time changes, frenzied guitar lines, and energetic as all hell. The songs swirl and chum, explode, then slip away into delay-drenched respited." ---Strength Magazine"I've gone temporarily deaf listening to Precious Blood over and over again at ever-louder volumes - it's that good!" ---Jersey Beat
