Fu Manchu's fourth studio album, The Action Is Go, released in 1997 on Mammoth Records, features Kyuss' Brant Bjork on drums. It stays true to The Fu's form, flattening you with the first track, a wah-soaked, demonic rocker that goes by the name "Evil Eye". After that, the group lets things cool down with "Urethane" before smacking you in the face again, this time with the title track. All in all, there's nothing wrong with the album, it's a chunk of pure California rock-and-roll, with The Fu rollicking around at the edges of control, barely hanging on to their own sound. (Hey, that kinda rhymed.) A solid 9/10. Highly recommended, and essential if you're a Fu Manchu fan. Enjoy!
