The fan favorite semininal debut by Andrew W.K on vinyl for the first time in close to a decade. I Get Wet includes the anthems Party Hard, She Is beautiful, Ready To Die & I Love NYC. The album comes housed in a completely upgraded gatefold jacket printed by Stoughton which includes spot gloss over the iconic bloody nose cover image to really make the cover art POP! Andrew W.K. has a missionto dirty up rock & roll, literally and figuratively. And while that may seem a sizeable task for one man to shoulder, consider that the Michigan-reared screamer has devoted the whole of his debut album I Get Wet to ecstatic celebration of the id. Its a heck of an idea, and its brought W.K. the fawning adoration of the British press who, after enduring years of ambient art-rock inspired by paranoia about technology (you know who we mean), are rushing to embrace W.K.s credo that everyone should party till they puke. W.K. stays on theme throughout I Get Wets 12 frenetic trackssong titles like the aforementioned Puke, Its Time to Party, Party Hard, and Fun Night pretty much make the point. But W.K.s more-is-more approach holds true of the music tooits cheesy new wave meets spiky metal but delivered with such self-conscious force that its almost bubblegum. Think of the gargantuan riffs of Detroit Rock City smeared with Flock of Seagulls-style synth while some manic propagandist hollers himself hoarse over top. I Get Wet has one settingloudbut not since the Stooges has unmitigated hedonism, and just plain headbanging, seemed like a plan. Mighty members of the three-finger devil salute fraternity, your soundtrack has arrived.
