Punk rock all over the map! Definitely an album which is growing on me the more I hear it. Old school crazy thrashy punk sound with lots of influences. There's some rockabilly / americana influence. There's some rapcore thrown in there (not to mention the spoken word / rap hidden track - "Crackup"). There's some hyper-fast punk. Some extended vocals like he's screaming and will soon pass out. There's some chick vocals. There's a ton of guitar tone changes. But most of all (and what I like most about the album are), the vocal style changes. The guy is nuts (vocally). There are more vocal changes on this album than you can imagine. It's the vocal changes that remind me of how punk used to be this thing you couldn't expect or predict or quite felt comfortable with. Sometimes it doesn't sound beautiful. Exactly! Isn't it beautiful?
Good listen. Well worth the buy for the punk listener. Not your pop album. Edgier. This album seems to have had a lot of thought put into it: the styles and changes from song to song, the vocal variation, the attention to being unique/fresh. The lyrics are worth listening to as well. This is the most variant album I've heard in a while. When the trend is for bands to have a squeak of punk influence, it's fun to hear a punk album with squeaks of other influences.
