Anthony. I hope you know that you are my favourite blogger. your reviews are so good.
that being said, you can't hate on it because it isn't as thrilling as their debut, because hello, that one hit us HARD. plus the bullet holes were rad. anyhow, I fucking love this album, but maybe it's because I am a sucker for no nonsense garage rock
Well, I feel like part of the reason it wasn't thrilling is because I feel like they made this record already. :-p It just feels a little to Deja Vu for me when it comes to my first experience hearing them. It's not necessarily that the style is the same, but the songs kinda remind me of the Muslims EP / LP, too. O__o *internet hug*
Punk is dead. Just dont tell the thousands of crust punks and hardcore kids that still play it. Although I guess modern punk is more metal then anything else before.
There are too many Garage Rock bands out :( Btw Anthony, I feel that Richman's shtick was his personality, being all boyish, not so much a real swagger.
Hahaha. OK, OK, you got me there. And he's also pretty boyish singing "IT'S MAAAGIC! IT'S MAAAAGIC!" But I'd argue that you have to be pretty self-confident to not feel exposed coming off that way to a listening audience. :-) *hugs*
WHAT !?
Punk is not dead.
Is it just me that realizes this .
they basically stole Lou Reed's voice and took Velvet Underground's instrumentals.
Extinction was their best song
The best songs on this album are Down On Loving, Flammable, and Pull Out.

@CzeslawMeyer Maybe it's not dead, but it does smell funny.

", and We all know that punk is dead. " Hahaha,
Friends of mine would argue against that statement to the death. I agree though!
This is a really cool ep by the way! Thanks for turning me on to it. Also, I only have one last thing to say!
WHO DAT?! WHO DAT?! WHO DAT?!
(You know that you want to finish it, Anthony.)

Really? When's the last time you gave Hospital a listen? He's like the vulnerable boy-next-door.

Some of his rockabilly stuff was some of the greatest quirky songwriting I'd ever heard.
