"Described as 'the Pixies meets Metallica', the Toadies had their feet firmly ensconced in indie, alternative, punk and (near) metal to forge a sound truly all their own. 11 songs without a wasted stroke, from the first strum of the instrumental 'Mexican Hairless' announcing the arrival of Rubberneck to the heavy, near post-punk feel of the closer 'I Burn,' the Toadies wasted nary a note, beat or word, 36 minutes of pure original Texas sonic-boogie bliss, this was an album that could only be forged by Texans, attempting to reclaim the rock world from Seattle’s grungy little fist." - Interscope
