‘I Get Wet’ Offers Good Dumb Fun
Jennifer Maerz of SF Weekly reviewed Andrew WK’s major label debut, ‘I Get Wet’ giving it generally good marks. Maerz summarized, “Basically, his version of triple-speed pop metal uses the same three chords on every song, layering multiple tracks of pianos, pipe organs, and keyboards over the usual metal swarm. This is the kind of rock that was born with a stadium in mind, existing in a constant excited state of pumping fists and banging heads. With ‘I Get Wet’, Andrew WK offers good dumb fun — and a fast escape from mainstream rock’s self-loathing side.” Sfweekly.com has since removed the article.
