I'd easily forget most the rest of the album. Not yet, though, another round or two to really soak it in...

6/10

You wouldn't give maybe another album of theirs a chance? maybe this wasn't their best.

Oh, I would. I gave it a 6, not a 0 :afro:
I enjoyed listening to it, but can't imagine it having a lot of replay value. That's why I'm going to go through it again and maybe again and see how it wears or grows on me.

I'd check other albums by them, though. Sure.

So, I listened to this a couple times and while it's pretty solid, this is exactly the kind of punk, punk-rock or whatever that I like to hear occasionally, but can't see myself listening to it regularly. That said, there are some very good, catchy songs here like The Enemy, The Prisoner, Get Out of My Life and my favorite New Wave Sucks. (which is pretty ironic as I like new wave...and no, I'm not being deliberately ironic, just so you know :)) I guess, I like faster, shorter, more hardcore songs. That's what happens when your gateway to punk was Dead Kennedys :/ Maybe I should check out their second album then.
