Sumosluts is yet another one of those Gerrman stoner rockbands that is neither great nor terrible. Sumosluts does very little in this 9 song album to convince anyone that they're going to be phenomenal in any regard. The songs lack a real dynamic push to really keep things moving along in a meaningful fashion. The band has flashes of promise throughout the disc, often in the guitar playing and tone, but on a whole, the album leaves a lot to be desired, particularly in the vocal department.  Perhaps I'm being a little harsh and found the music solid in some areas and a little too wimpy in others. But aside from a few interesting riffs or chugs, Sumosluts never really takes off.

As debuts go, this one is certainly mediocre, but not dreadfully awful. There are hints of potential throughout but none of that is quite realized on Fat Hot Sexy.

70/100
