These Texas anarchists have been maintaining an impressive non-stop
tour schedule, and if their live set is even half as blistering as
this self-titled album then you better bring some aloe for the napalm
burns. The production is impressive and dead-on; music this loud needs
to feel loud, and The Flood nail it. Melvins-inspired guitar crashes
mingle with Queens of the Stone Age space-out passages, all glued
together with a paranoia-heavy lyrical tirade that would make Charles
Manson say 'dude, you need to chill out'. A word to the wise – The
Flood is coming. Your Ark better be able to withstand blood and
whiskey.

The culmination of a six-month-long public smear campaign, the Flood's debut, Power to the Sheeple, assumes the role of the evil empire, polluting feeble minds with a lethal dosage of sludge metal. Modeled after the Melvins' Gluey Porch Treatments, the local trio layers on the riffs thick as a brick, particularly the opening title track, JFK's vocals mimicking King Buzzo's, and "Jaded Waterlooen," an attack on record-store clerks. Longer selections like "Infidel" and "Teacher" go over best, leaving room for some interesting guitar pyrotechnics, but at nearly 80 minutes, the Flood's oppressively heavy gloom-and-doom propaganda seriously grates on the nerves. "Listen Now! You Shut Up," 33 seconds of electronic filler, separates the album from the five-song Drugs EP, which is bookended by the stoner metal cut "You're High" and closing buzz-kill "We're High," 11 minutes of droning and contorted feedback.
