Bull (album)

Bull is the second album by the Canadian band Bootsauce, released in 1992. "Love Monkey #9", "Whatcha' Need" and "Big, Bad & Groovy" were released as singles. The album was nominated for a Juno Award, in the "Best Album Design" category. It is also their first album to feature their permanent drummer John Lalley.

Production
The album was produced by Michael Jonzun and the band. Bootsauce shared in the songwriting. "Love Monkey #9" is about animal testing on non-human primates. "Big Bad & Groovy" employs a horn section. Lemmy sang on "Hold Tight".

Critical reception
The Gazette noted that "there is more of everything—sex, danceability, power chords, smooth balladry, samples, with singer Drew Ling's insinuating voice living up to its owner's name." The Globe and Mail wrote: "Bootsauce bounds all over the musical map, mulching early Pink Floyd sci-fi rock with Public Enemy-styled rapping ('Touching Cloth'), emulating Extreme on the ballad 'What Cha' Need', resurrecting Dr. John on the New Orleans-styled 'Dog Pound', and paying tribute to Sly and the Family Stone." The Edmonton Journal determined that "assertive hard rock lays the foundation for snippets of soul falsetto, New Orleans gumbo and busy, Frank Zappa-ish orchestration."
