fIREHOSE is not the first band/artist to insist on audacious grammar, and unfortunately, probably won't be the last. It feels unnecessary to me; like you are trying to distract from your own talent. I might just be trying to justify my own grammar-mania though.
In any upper case (HA!), this was very good. I liked the folk influences, and it didn't overstay its welcome. I was actually disappointed when it ended so quickly, it is just a little over 30 minutes. But I think the length is part of the reason for its punchiness, so I won't complain too much.
Tomorrow I am going to start my Monday morning off with a Beastie Boys album and it will be delicious.
RATING: 3/5
