Baby Woodrose – Blows Your Mind (2001)

March 10, 2024

I am undecided on whether the art is fantastic or downright awful. Either way, it was the bold cover that drew me in to the world of Baby Woodrose. I came expecting Harsh Toke – style obnoxious stoner metal but instead found something a bit more nuanced. This debut is a record based primarily in fuzzed out garage rock, but the songs are delivered with a variety of vibes, styles and paces to call Baby Woodrose’s debut a “garage rock album” feels a bit limiting. Either way, I found the songwriting incredibly enjoyable, especially on “Baby Blows Your Mind”, “D’ya Get What You Give?” and “Mind and Soul”.
