I always loved that Clint Eastwood movie - The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly. And speaking of movies, this live album (the first live album for Tooth & Nail Records, by the way) could very well be a soundtrack for an old movie called Rock & Roll High School. It's fast, raw, and simple - just the way that other band would've liked it. Unlike the Huntingtons other album that is coming out in April, this one features 90% originals. They do cover The Queers ("Wimpy Drives Through Harlem") and that other band ("I Don't Want You"). The sonics of this live album are good, in my opinion. You don't lose the low end, nor are the guitars and drums too dominant or lost in the mix. And the vocals are strong and bratty. One thing that this album pays tribute to (besides the obvious) is the Huntingtons' ability to write good, solid songs with plenty of hook. They drive home great rhythms, and the vocals are pleasant. The songs performed are pretty evenly distributed between High School Rock (8 songs, including the fun "Dies Saugt" and "Jeannie Hates The Ramones"), Fun And Games (7 songs, including the cool "Allison's The Bomb" and "Goddess and the Geek"),and Sweet Sixteen (5 songs, including the sing-along-a-thon "She's Alright," and the anthemic "Veronica," which almost sounds like Elvis Costello on lead vocals in each chorus). Like serious jokesters, they start practically every song with a "1-2-3-4" count and/or an apey but lightning-quick song intro. This is the perfect album for the Huntingtons, as it showcases them with no restrictions. The mix and sonics back them up capably, allowing the band to rollick in their raw and fun element. \
