Negative Positive
Title: a bit of a step down...
Review: I always tell people I don't like punk music, and aside from one or two exceptions (Misfits, Social D, a couple others), that's true. But i LOVE psychobilly music, and it's closely related to punk in alot of ways.which brings me to the Horrorpops sophmore effort. I was a huge fan of "Hell Yeah!", since it combined alot of elements - punk, old fifties love songs, rockabilly, etc. with plenty pure fun and enthusiasm. I expected, then, big things from this second release "Bring It On!" and was sadly disappointed.Because it seems like much of the energy is gone, or they just weren't trying as hard. Many of the songs here are just plain punky-stuff, with generic "whoa" chorus, et cetera. Too many of the songs are downers, about breakups and being pissed off, and I think this lost a lot of the fun vibe the first release had. There are still a couple of tracks I really liked, like'Walk Like A Zombie' and 'S.O.B.' But the rest I thought was just too plain.
Is the review positive or negative?
