antiMusic has my review of Cobra Blood Hangover by The International Playboys.
Main point:
"After a brief resurgence, garage rock seems to be fading again. The White Stripes will always rock something furious, but now is probably not the time to put out a jangly, underproduced collection of primitive rock songs.
"The International Playboys, apparently, didn't get the memo. The bottom line is that there is no particular reason to pick up Cobra Blood Hangover.
"Simply put, the songs are nothing special, with stereotypical garage rock guitar riffs and poorly yelled vocals. Where The White Stripes give a personal touch, namely weaving in elements of folk, The International Playboys stick to a formula perfected (and better executed) years ago."
