1965 – The Onion

The members of the venerable, hard-living, soulful Cincinnati rock band The Afghan Whigs haven’t had an easy time in the past few years: After 1996′s grotesquely underrated Black Love failed commercially and critically, the band lost its drummer, left its label, and endured a period of personal turmoil. After a much-needed sabbatical, the group returns [...]

1965 – Milk Magazine

Last year, Alternative Press listed 1965, by the Afghan Whigs, as one of the “25 Most Anticipated Albums of 1998.” Time to get personal, and it shall stay this way for the rest of this review: when I saw the Afghan Whigs on the list, the album became the sole record I anticipated. For months [...]

1965 – Select

The Whigs fifth album. During the recording, singer Greg Dulli managed to go missing, while guitarist Rick McCollum got arrested on the last night of Mardi Gras… They might’ve started out as a Sub Pop band, but Greg Dulli has always had aspirations to turn the Whigs into the kind of soul-revue outfit that was [...]

1965 – Uncut

* * * * * (a classic) Triumphant sixth album from soul-grunge bruisers. Album of the month… For those of us with record collections almost entirely composed of records by American artists, the Britpop era had about as much appeal as a bowl of two-day-old dog vomit. Mercifully, the gods have finally taken pity on [...]

1965 – Alternative Press

Rating: Thumbs Up (Enthusiastically Endorsed) Lock up anything that moves – it’s the Afghan Whigs. “You can fuck my body, baby. But please, don’t fuck my mind.” There it is, up front – the lyric, I wager, that every review of 1965 will cite. And I’m sure Whigs mainman Greg Dulli would back that bet. [...]

1965 – Melody maker

It took more than a few stray Motown covers and an artfully placed wah-wah pedal for Cincinatti’s Afghan Whigs to be hailed as the Grunge era’s finest soul band. It was a feeling more than a sound that the Whigs specialised in, with sex-bomb frontman Greg Dulli’s acrid, too-honest lyricism laying out the very real [...]

1965 – NME

SEX AND ROCK. They’re bedfellows, right? One is supposed to be about the other. Yet when did you last hear a really sexy, white rock record, one that hit you at loin level then started crawling and spreading through your heart, soul, body and mind?

1965 – Newsweek

1965 by The Afghan Whigs. The downside of being called a critics’ darling is that it usually means nobody buys your records. The Afghan Whigs have been a critics’ darling for about seven years now, and there’s nothing on “1965″ to suggest they’re about to sell any better. Congratulations, guys. Singer Greg Dulli, the burlap-throated [...]
