Bloodbrothers is the third album by the Dictators, and their second after switching to the Asylum label. "Faster and Louder" features an uncredited guest appearance from Bruce Springsteen.
Critical reception
The Globe and Mail wrote: "Almost oblivious to the strides their punk brethren have been making toward larger audiences and heavier influence, they continue to play things loudly and strongly while handsome Dick Manitoba struts."
AllMusic, which was critical of the band's previous album, released a favorable review of Bloodbrothers, stating that it "stands as a good example of what the band sounded like on a good night," as well as calling it "the Dictators' most rockingest and most musical album."
