Title: Wrong
Artiste: NoMeansNo
Genre: Punk (oh joy!)

Love
1. The bassline in “The Tower” is very catchy
Edit to add: 2. the last three tracks are all pretty decent to be fair.

Hate
1. Duh! The vocals. Punk singers always seem to be angry and shouting; this guy is no exception
2. Too fast and aggressive; hard to concentrate on anything.
3. Everything else. Really lost interest quite early.

End result: Hasn't changed my mind about punk. I left it running but kind of tuned out halfway. Nothing happened to make me sit up and take notice again.

So, Love or Hate? A very definite Hate

Chances of a full review: 0/10

Edit: I should add, that I put this post up before the album was finished, and in fairness the last two tracks were not half bad. Despite I called them aggressive, I think they're probably less so than other punk bands I've heard of, and they can be, to be fair, quite melodic. So maybe not all that bad. But still not my cup of Lyons...
