DEAD MILKMEN: Beelzebubba (Enigma)
|
|
|
|
It's the 4th LP from these Philadelphia retardos, and despite the fact
|
|
they've got horns, strings, and keyboards on this album, and regular airplay on
|
|
MTV, they're pretty much the same. The first side is great, "Brat In The
|
|
Frat", the very humorous "Stuart", "Bleach Boys", and their smash hit single,
|
|
"Punk Rock Girl". In a happy mood, I flipped it over to the second side. Out
|
|
of 10 sides of the 5 Dead Milkmen albums (including the Instant Club Hit EP),
|
|
this is definitely the worst. All 8 songs on the side are horrible. Why?
|
|
Well, lets face it, the Dead Milkmen's appeal is based on the fact that they're
|
|
funny. Like the "WEIRD" AL YANKOVICs of punk. And the 2nd side is not funny.
|
|
Buy the album anyway, its good enough.
|
|

|
DESCENDENTS: Hallraker (SST)
|
|
|
|
Remember their last album, Liveage!, their greatest hits, recorded live in
|
|
Minneapolis during the summer of 1987? Well, this is the rest of that show,
|
|
plus some songs recorded 2 months earlier live in Berkeley. But you're not
|
|
being ripped off, because the songs on this are completely different from the
|
|
ones on Liveage! The best way to describe this is to call Liveage! "the best
|
|
of", and Hallraker "the rest of". But the songs on this album are by no means
|
|
bad, they show how the group tried some different things near the end of its
|
|
existence. And you'll definitely like Bill Stevenson's history of the band and
|
|
ALL inside.
|
|
|
|
|
|
THE DICKIES: Great Dictations (A&M)
|
|
|
|
How could anyone who calls themselves a punk rock fan not like The
|
|
Dickies? They're one of those bands like THE ANGRY SAMOANS and REDD KROSS,
|
|
who've been around forever, and released very little vinyl. Ya know, back when
|
|
punk was punk, and no gave a fuck. 40 minutes, 17 songs of their greatest hits
|
|
from 1978-1980 covering "The Incredible Shrinking Dickies" and "Dawn of the
|
|
Dickies" LP's, plus some singles. This has got their covers of "Paranoid",
|
|
"Banana Splits", "Silent Night", and "Sounds of Silence". Every song is great,
|
|
get it, its just too bad their more recent stuff isn't so hot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DOGGY STYLE: Don't Hit Me Up (Triple X)
|
|
|
|
This starts off great with the song "I Like You". One of the lines is
|
|
"You're my friend... I'm gonna beat you up." Everything after this is boring,
|
|
sometimes rappish, rock, with a lame guitar solo for every song. You could
|
|
compare it to the "Balboa Fun Zone" LP by The ADOLESCENTS, another band that
|
|
went to pieces with its third LP. I think these guys, once one of the best
|
|
hardcore bands around, should give it up. This stinks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
HALF LIFE: Never Give In (Skyclad)
|
|
|
|
Are the same old generic bald kids yapping about "the streets" starting to
|
|
get you down? Then pick this up, it gives new blood to what we like to call
|
|
"Hardcore". One positive point, is that they play AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS.
|
|
Wowzers! What a radical concept, eh? They keep it fresh, by playing hardcore
|
|
one song (old "Charged" G.B.H. style), and '77 punk the next. Sincere,
|
|
anti-authoritarian lyrics, and the overall simplicity of it all, makes you
|
|
wonder why more bands can't do stuff like this.
|

|
M.D.C.: Elvis In the Rheinland (Important)
|
|
|
|
25 songs from a live show recorded in Berlin in November '88. The first
|
|
side is stuff from "Smoke Signals", and "Millions of Dead Cops". It's
|
|
incredible. But the real treat comes with the second side, where the play some
|
|
modern folk songs (which to my surprise I enjoyed), and a cover of "Jailhouse
|
|
Rock", (re-written as "Dead Cops Rock"). It's a must, as I feel M.D.C. is one
|
|
of the bands like MINOR THREAT and THE MISFITS, that everyone should like.
|
|
Dave Dictor sounds real gruff... I dunno why.
|
|
|
|
|
|
THE MEATMEN: We're The Meatmen...And You STILL Suck!!!
|
|
|
|
Recorded February 1988 during The Meatmen's final tour at the 9:30 Club
|
|
(Washington, D.C.), Maxwell's (Hoboken, N.J.), and The Channel (Boston, M.A.).
|
|
Put away those stupid MENTORS albums, here's the real champs of obnoxious rock.
|
|
"Tooling For Anus", "Lesbian Death Dirge", "Wine, Wenches, and Wheels" and
|
|
Tesco Vee's between song ramblings. It'll make you laugh, and it's great rock
|
|
and roll, so buy it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
M.O.D.: Gross Misconduct (Caroline/Megaforce Worldwide)
|
|
|
|
Their last record, the Surfin' M.O.D. EP was one of the worst things ever
|
|
released, so why did I buy this? Well, the first album "U.S.A. For M.O.D." is
|
|
one of the best Metal/Punk albums you'll ever hear. So let's look inside the
|
|
album. A picture of the band shows leather jackets and long hair, ok, they're
|
|
a metal band now, no question about that. And the lyric sheet. At the end of
|
|
each song on the lyric sheet, they put what it was about. Let's see...
|
|
"Meaning: Doing Something For Yourself", "Meaning: Being A True Friend",
|
|
"Meaning: Substance Abuse". Don't be fooled, the lyrics suck, the songs are
|
|
garbage metal, and their cover of FEAR's "I Love Living In The City", is just
|
|
deplorable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
NO FOR AN ANSWER: A Thought Crusade (Hawker)
|
|
|
|
This straight-edge band is from California, but they fit right in with the
|
|
NYC bands. But don't be turned off by that, because NFAA is way above the
|
|
usual straight-edge bit. Lyrics that cover more than "the scene" and your
|
|
friends, and diverse hardcore songs. "I Spy", and "Without A Reason" are the
|
|
best tracks, powerful and solid.
|
|
|
|
|
|
WRECKING CREW: Balance of Terror (Hawker)
|
|
|
|
Boston mosh band that is pretty much a CRO-MAGS type thing. Ok, but
|
|
sounds all the same. "But if fear is the only way that peace can be made...
|
|
then isn't it already done?", from the title track. Think about some of the
|
|
things being said.
