This is the first piece of writing I am doing today, so I promise you won't get the usually complaint that I am burnt out from writing movie reviews. This is largely because the movie I am going to watch today hasn't loaded yet, but hey. It still counts.
There have been some good albums lately but I have held back on giving any the full five star rating, mostly because I have commitment issues. This was absolutely fantastic, though, so I have to go all the way. It is odd that this is classified as punk, as it actually seemed quite poppy to me. I mean, there were songs about girls on it! They weren't even angry, which was refreshing. I love the song "She's A Runaround" as I found the lyrics particularly relatable, given my current situation. I also enjoyed "I Know A Girl," which was actually a really sweet song. Can I call a punk band sweet?
Overall, an amazing album. My only complaint was that it was so short ("Casbah Rock" was only 50 seconds), but I suppose it's not a bad thing to leave wanting more.
RATING: 5/5
Yeah, it's kinda crazy the way the songs seem to end so suddenly. But it's a great album, anyway.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! It's so weird that we have such different movie tastes, but somehow have the same music taste.
DeleteI don't think we are that much different. I'm sure it's nothing we wouldn't brush off over a cup of tea if we had the chance.
