Title: Social D. Delivers Year's Best
Review: Perhaps the best release of the year, Mike Ness and the band deliver a blistering collection of amped up rock-n-roll which stays true to the incredibly solid legacy of Social Distortion.From track 1 thru track 10, as with any Social D. record, there is no fluff here....Ness displays another side in his lyrics this time around, yet amazingly manages to perhaps eclipse the power of SxDx's last studio record, White Light White Heat White Trash with this latest offering. It's a tough call.Rock and Roll of this caliber is a finite resource in an industry dominated by whiney pop poser punk, yet to call Social D. simply a punk band, is almost a diservice to them. These guys are perhaps the greatest American Rock-n-Roll band of today, with all the grit, energy and pedal to the medal tempo intact.Worth noting too is Charlie's amazing drumming on this record which propels the songs like a locomotive blasting through your living room.The 8 year wait for this record was worth it!
