- 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.
