Title: 1st things 1st
Product review: I really enjoyed "The Guest" and so picked this one up before reading reviews! Yikes! I like the track "1st Things 1st" with its thumping bass and sassy swagger. Otherwise the exit of Jason Swartzman leaves the band sounding loud, which isn't necessarily a negative, but loud for what? Unlike Alkaline Trio's "Good Mourning" that thrashes with violence and wit, this one just thrashes pointlessly. Do first things first, listen to track 4 and then set this one on the shelf. Taxi!
