Title: Better than I expected
Review: I was prepared to write this band off as just another 1-hit-wonder that got picked up by a major label and dropped twice as fast. But every band has a history, and this 2CD set by the The Living End proves theirs is a good one.I wouldn't call them "punk," by any means. If you examine their song structure, it's merely the age-old pop-rock motif, merely dressed up in greaser clothes and outfitted with an upright bass. But that aside, this is a great example of how good aggressive pop music can be. The first disc is slightly rawer than the second, but there is nary a clunker in the lot.So if you were thinking about filing these guys under the "One more Stray Cats wannabe band," you should think twice. The Living End are absolutely qualified at what they do.
