The lyrics of the song Urethane 1997
Like so with gasoline
On more we ever been
Went back another day
Off the road, we never made
Mola sinning until before
Between the lines, reading more
Across the field with little known
It's what they said get in it and go!

Fu Manchu
- Daredevil
1995 'Dare Devil' Fit the Black Sabbath riffing style with the punk of the 70’s and 80’s. This album features the classic Fu Manchu lineup of Scott Hill, Brad Davis, Ruben Romano, and Eddie Glass. The development of what the band becomes in the future, distorted fuzz guitars, and funny lyrics.

Fu Manchu
- No One Rides For Free
1994 The band debut record. The only record featuring Mark Abshire playing bass guitar was produced by Brant Bjork, receiving positive reviews. It is one of the first properly stoner rock records and represents a milestone in future releases in the genre.

5.
Fu Manchu
- King Of The Road
1999 The band experimented with lots of fuzz and other pedal tones. It was recorded during the live session in the studio. The band sounds like heavy metal band of the 70’s on steroids. King of the Road contains a cover of Devo's 'Freedom of Choice', which was praised by Mark Mothersbaugh.

Fu Manchu
- Signs Of Infinite Power
2009 Fu Manchu's tenth studio album always combined the best of seventies rock with early hardcore sounds, which is why I unapologetically believe it is extremely cool.
|
7.
Fu Manchu
- We Must Obey
2007 The album is full of heavy elements, with a smooth flow, impressive bass parts, heavy guitar play, and massive dry drums. The band manages to find the perfect balance between the musical quality and the lyrical immaturity. Outstanding produced and features a cover of the Cars' "Moving in Stereo."

Fu Manchu
- Clone Of The Universe
2018 Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson makes a guest appearance on the album's closing track, which is mostly instrumental and 18 minutes long.
|
10.
Fu Manchu
- Gigantoid
2014 The sound of this album is somewhat more primitive, raw, and ultra-fuzzed-out than that of previous releases. It is their heaviest record. Gigantoid isn’t an album with great depth, nor is it one that takes you on a journey, but it is immense fun. With a variety of tones, grooves, low ends, and doubled great vocals, the substance lies there, and it makes you listen attentively.

11.
Fu Manchu
- Start The Machine
The record appears to be a little stale, as if they're struggling to find new and fresh ideas. However, track 7 is a skillfully crafted instrumental with a spacey and wtripped out feel, appropriately entitled 'Out To Sea'.
|
12.
Fu Manchu
- Eatin' Dust
1999 Godzilla's/Eatin' Dust (alternatively titled (Godzilla's) Eatin' Dust or simply Eatin' Dust) The album combines what were originally two limited 10" releases: "Godzilla" (1997) and "Eatin' Dust" (1999) those records are great sounding and amazing power drums. 2004
|
13.
Fu Manchu
- California Crossing
2001 Well produced maybe excessive for Fu Manchu. Although not a masterpiece in the hard rock genre, California Crossing is still a fun and easy listen.
