...blues guitar riff and the whiney, gruff singing of frontman Cole Alexander. “Big Black Baby Jesus Of Today” continues these blunt statements of rebellion while adding in some maracas to compensate for the slower pace. Full of standard guitar riffs, simple rock beats, and sapless whining, these songs lacks any real substance and raise the question of whether or not the Black Lips are really as label bending as they claim to be. “Short Fuse” emerges mid-album like a mirage through the barren rubble of mediocre punk-rock anthems...

Particular stumbling block is The Guardsman's plot: the predicament of an actor who, to satisfy his wife's yearning for amorous adventure and to satisfy himself that she is faithful to him, dresses up in the uniform of a guardsman and tries, hoping he will fail, to cuckold himself. The demands of this ticklish situation (used by M.G.M. with minor changes) are simply beyond the histrionic capacities of the picture's two principals: wholesome, husky Risöe (rhymes with Pisa) Stevens...
