Amazon.com:
Cars, motorcycles, vans, choppers, and bongs--it's easy to see where Fu Manchu find their inspiration, and it's clear this isn't cerebral rock. These boys, who hail from the synapse-frying heat of the California desert, go for the gut. They have the riffage to do it, sounding part Stooges circa Metallic K.O., part Black Sabbath, part stoned teenage garage band. Singer Scott Hill shrieks like a psychopathic Ted Nugent and his guitar emits fuzzed-out, grooved-up slabs of thunder--with lightning. The drums and bass are heavy but never fast; when they crank up the intensity the pace slows even further: volume is job one. "Hell on Wheels" starts with the throbbing guitar and slowly morphs into a deadly thunderous roar. "No Dice" finds its lyrical inspiration from the Jeff Spicoli character in Fast Times at Ridgemont High ("No shoes, no shirt, no dice!"). And "Weird Beard" is pure THC-inspired giggling lunacy--with a backbeat. All in all, King of the Road is an unadulterated blast of an album that reminds the teenage boy within why you fell in love with rock in the first place. --Tod Nelson

I had a chance to see them live in Albuquerque on Nov 8 and they were flat out one of the best bands i have ever seen live! i have all of their albums and they are all good, They never dissapoint especially on their newer albums.

Everyone i turn on to them loves them! this album is one of their best also. "California Crossing" and The Action Is ...

I really thought this would be good after the reviews, but this is really a boring cd. Almost every song sounds the same and not for the good.

I read several reviews of Fu Manchus albums but, had never heard any of their music. A few months ago I wanted to buy some new and different music so I bought a few Fu Manchu albums with King of the Road being one of them. Have them all in my cd player at work and have been listening to them constantly since I got them. My favorite tunes on this album are Boogie Van and King of the road. I like all the rest of the tunes on this album but, those are my two favorites. If your a hard rock fan this ...
