epitaph. 86481 / 15 tracks / 1996

Their comeback album, and it shows that that doesn't always mean aging rock musicians wanting to cash in. An explosive and surprisingly fresh blend of the humorous teenage hardcore sound of the old Descendents, the (much) more complex All style, and noisy, garagey New Bomb Turks/Dwarves punk. Great record. [8]

Die Comeback-CD für die alten Hardcore-Helden, und dieses Album zeigt, dass das nicht immer nur geldgeile, alternde Rockstars bedeuten muss. Explosive und überraschend frische Mischung aus dem lustigen Hardcore-Sound der alten Descendents, den deutlich komplexeren All und krachigem Garagenpunk à la New Bomb Turks oder Dwarves. Tolle Platte.
