Reviews: "WMX playz some POWER hip-hop. To say that this is 'energetic' music
IS to 'lump' it; & this mix just AIN'T "lumpable"... on top o' th' heavy
loopz/beattrax are some VERY wierd goings on, that assuredly salvages it from
what "my" image o' hip-hop might be, or HAVE been, until scopin' this one out.
Th' beauty of that on _Cracker Gasoline Party_ is that this ain't just
nonsense "rambling"... a lil' bit o' thot went IN to these toonz... Jimmy
Eager's gitarz kick OUT on a few of th' leadlines... like to hear a little
MORE o' that. Neat "Zappaesque" influence on a couple of th' toonz at th' end
of side 1 - really WIERDNESS [sic] - hey, I do LIKE that; meanz they ain't
stuck in NO rut!" -- _Improvijazzation Nation_, issue # 17, Summer 1995

"Heavy rap-funk from the asshole of Texas (I know; I spent way too much time
there a while back). After kicking off with a harsh remake of 'King of Rock,'
the rest of the tape sticks to original compositions. All in all, it sounds
no worse than your average Beastie Boys records..."
-- _Aiding & Abetting_, issue #71, 2/28/95

"Very cool collection of hip-hop cut with guitar riffs and punctuated with
in-your-face vocals and diverse approaches (try to imagine the Sex Pistols
and ZZ Top together at last with a kitchen sink conglomeration of polka,
disco, hee haw and more). Definitely not a one-song band! While the mix is
mostly good throughout, the tape sounds muddy (so turn it up)."
-- _The DIY List_, Issue #12, March 25, 1995
