The Sick Rose 'Faces' (1986)
Though recorded in the most basic fashion, this collection of a dozen tracks is a heavy-weight contender for most consistently meaty garage record ever. There's a bit of melodic garage-pop in "Everybody Wants To Know" and "I'm Not Trying To Hurt You", while the remainder of the LP blasts into orbit fueled by super-fuzzed guitars and Luca Re's snotty, yet engaging vocals. Though he sings in English, a thick Italian accent flavors all of his vocal work giving the band the European flavor that helped to set them apart from the pack. This LP would prove to be the band's high-mark, and a monument to their love of the garage genre. - Timothy Gassen from "Knights of Fuzz" book
Or as William Blake would say, "O Rose, thou art sick!"
