Opening with a "Jerky Boys" type crank call asking for his own release, Dan sets the stage for some metallic fun and bits sarcasm here and there. Guitars and vocals are chunky and thick, reminiscent of KISS circa "Hotter Than Hell", but evident is also some influence from Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society. Bass ranges from straight ahead metal to bluesy beats. There is a blanketing dirty, gritty feel that actually feeds into darker tones, creating grooves that infect your mind. I found myself humming certain hooks even after the cd stopped. Some very quick and technical riffing in the tune "PHD. In Cleveland" shows off Dan's fingering as well as his ability to compose.

Dan's humor comes across in the tune "Betty Last Night", which is catchy, singable and fun. "Ill Go North" is a stab at 'wannabes' everywhere! Musically, I’ve never been disappointed by anything Dan puts out. He isn’t ashamed to be different and cutting edge, and actually revels in it. I say more artists need to have the balls to be themselves in this manner. * Kiss fans MUST check out the version of "Two Timer"... Simmons better watch his ass cause Dan's about to bite it off with this cut!
