ALBUM REVIEWS / POP : Supersuckers, “Sacrilicious,” Sub Pop ***.

Share

As bad to the bone as George Thorogood and as raucously tuneful as the early Clash, Seattle’s Supersuckers thrash through their third effort spewing an ode to Ozzy Osbourne one minute, then launching into a rough-shod soul appreciation the next. But ornery as they are, they’ve also got a heart, and it shows in the hummable harmonies of “Bad Dog” and the torchy, twangy ballad “Don’t Go Blue.”

New albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor), two stars (fair), three stars (good) and four stars (excellent).
