Title: Pure Prozac
Review: The best part about this album is that it was produced for some ridicuously low amount and originally sold out of the back of Brad Nowell's car. This is a sunny album composed after countless bong hits and flowery trips. The bass line is amazingly fast and heavy, jumping over nearly every song. And every song is a classic. Brad Nowell knew how to envision a great pop song, but this album came out a couple of years too early. In the early nineties, ska (I guess that what this album is by virtue of a few of his guitar licks) was not going to make it big. 5446, Badfish, DJ, Don't Push, Scarlet Begonias, KRS-One--this album is a treasure trove of great songs. And it's over seventy minutes long. There's no filler in this album--some songs may be weak as a result of Brad's genre-bending aspirations--all of it is beautifully sung surf-ska-punk-reggae-stoner rock that has a groove and is just as great to listen to the first time as the 1000th time.
