Negative Positive
Title: Not brutal, or angry, or catchy.
Review: I'm a big punk fan. I frequently sport "X"s on my hands, in fact. My iPod is filled with the likes of Blink-182, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, etc, so out of sheer curiosity I decided to listen to an album by one of the so-called "grandfathers" of punk bands. Ah, big mistake. All of this talk about "catchy" songs was nothing but claptrap, I'm afraid; I hardly remember what any of these songs sound like... they all sounded exactly the same. The production was so muddy that these songs just sound like a giant ball of fuzz. Like, would it have killed these guys to shell out a few extra bucks and record in a decent studio? Eh, I guess it wouldn't matter since the songs themselves were completely generic and reek of poser mediocrity. The only tune that could've been decent was "TV Party" because the lyrics weren't about anarchist "h8 da police!!!" drivel."Damage" this album if you have any self-respect as a music fan.
Is the review positive or negative?
