The Sleepers - Comeback Special

Review by Geraldo Protta

The Sleepers’ “Comeback Special” – A Raw, Unfiltered Rock Riot That Still Kicks Ass Alright, let’s get one thing straight: The Sleepers weren’t messing around when they dropped Comeback Special in 1969. This ain’t no polished, overproduced pop record—it’s raw, gritty, and dripping with attitude. If you’re into Classic Rock with a side of Garage Rock filth, this album is your new best friend. It’s like someone took the chaos of Detroit Ride and mashed it up with the swagger of Loaded, then threw it all on a turntable that might need Fixing Your Stereo just to keep up. First off, let me tell ya about "Detroit Ride." Holy hell, this track rips. From the opening riff, it grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go. The guitars are dirty as hell—like, I-can-hear-the-grit-in-the-amp dirty—and the vocals? They sound like they were recorded after a weekend bender. But damn if it doesn’t work. Every time I hear those lyrics about cruising through Motor City, I’m ready to grab my leather jacket and hit the road myself. It’s not perfect, but who gives a crap? Perfection is boring, and this song knows it. Then there’s "Loaded," which feels like a punch in the gut—in the best way possible. The bassline slaps so hard it could knock your teeth out, and the energy is off the charts. You can practically smell the sweat and stale beer from wherever these guys laid down the tracks. There’s something about how unapologetically sleazy it is that sticks with you. Like, sure, maybe it’s a little repetitive, but isn’t that what makes it addictive? It’s the kind of tune that gets stuck in your head for days, whether you want it to or not. Now, don’t even get me started on the rest of the album. Tracks like "She Is My Drinking Problem" and "Crime of the Century Blues" deliver exactly what you’d expect from a band called The Sleepers—a mix of booze-soaked blues and rock ‘n’ roll rebellion. And yeah, Crime of the Century Blues shows up twice, but honestly? It’s good enough to play again. Abby Stone closes things out with a vibe that’s equal parts haunting and hypnotic, leaving you wondering what the hell just happened. Here’s the kicker: Comeback Special wasn’t some big-budget production backed by corporate suits at Pravda Records. No, this was real-deal American rock, made by dudes who clearly didn’t give a rat’s ass about trends or rules. In fact, listening to it now feels almost rebellious, like flipping off modern music’s obsession with perfection and filters. So here’s my takeaway: If you think rock music today has lost its edge, throw this sucker on and prepare to have your face melted. Oh, and hey—if anyone tells you classic rock is dead, shove this album down their throat. Literally.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The Sleepers' *Comeback Special* album, released in 1969, is a raw mix of Classic Rock and Garage Rock. It’s like a time capsule from the US rock scene back then. The album even features two tracks with the same name—“Deal With You” and “Crime of the Century Blues”—which might make you think your record player is stuck. But nope, that’s just how they rolled.
