Free Music Review: Best LTJ CD yet.
Hit: 5 Stars
Alright, I know I'm gonna piss off a few so-called "true LTJ fans". First off, if you're a true fan, you'll understand the way they went with the CD. You may not like it, and you may [...] (way too much, I might add) about it, but that can't change the CD. I personally loved it. Tough cookies.
Now on to the review:
1. Welcome to the New South - 10/10 Very nice opener, with a fast guitar riff to get the listener into the song, followed by Chris' signature sound. I can definitely picture them rocking out to this one.
2. Ghosts of Me and You - 9/10 Loved this one, but there's just something about Roger's voice in this one that makes me want to stop listening to it. That and I heard this one for weeks before I got the CD, and it got boring after a while.
3. Look What Happened (Remix) - 10/10 Heard the B&B version, and I like this one much better. Maybe it's just the punk rocker in me, maybe it's the fact that this song's just awesome.
4. The Science of Selling Yourself Short - 10/10 Never heard a slow-ish LTJ song before, as this was the first LTJ CD I'd ever bought. I loved it, and the music vid they did for this really made me laugh. Roger couldn't have done better.
5. Short Fuse Burning - 11/10 I know. I rated it higher than 10. Sue me. This song...there aren't words enough to describe how awesome it is. Sorta like an ACDC + LTJ + Hooters Hot Wings kinda thing. It is just that good.
6. Motown Never Sounded so Good - 9/10 Once again, this song rocks, and maybe it's just me, but Roger's voice is kinda whiney, like early Tom Petty almost.
7. The Upwards War and the Downturned Cycle - 10/10 Nothing too extremely special here, just some hard rocking and awesome lyrics.
8. Escape From the ABomb House - 9/10 When you first listen to this song, it's amazing and you want to listen forever. Unfortunately, it's got that feel that once you've heard it for a while, it gets horribly repetitive.
9. Best Wishes to Your Black Lung - 10/10 Just plain awesome. I'd like to pack this song, Short Fuse Burning, That's Why They Call it a Union, and Gainesville Rock City into one little album and listen to them forever.
10. She's Gonna Break Soon - 8/10 This one's the album killer. There is nothing worse in a song like this than repetitive "She's gonna break soon, gonna break soon, gonna blah blah blah" over and over again. I liked it for the first ten or twenty plays, but after that, it became "meh".
11. That's Why They Call it a Union - 10/10 This is it. THE song that got me into LTJ. I've loved it forever, and it hasn't let me down yet.
12. Plastic Cup Politics - 10/10 Loved it, nice little ditty about drinking and how it affects things. Great party song.
13. The Brightest Bulb has Burned Out/Screws Fall Out - 11/10 I know, another unfair rating. Like Short Fuse Burning, there aren't words to express how great this song is. Just play it.
14. Surrender (Cover) - 10/10 It's not the original, it's better. Loved it, but like Escape From the ABomb House it gets old after a lot of plays.
There you have it! If I had to recommend this CD in three words or less, it would probably be this: GET THIS ONE!!!!
Anthem Poster
The firecrackers on the sleeve give a good idea of what to expect on this Florida ska-punk group's third major-label album after a brief sojourn back in the indie world. Horns, chugging guitars, and crashing rhythms mesh to create a high-energy racket that refuses to subside until the band has rolled out its raucous closing cover version of Cheap Trick's "Surrender." The label turbulence does little to affect its angular wit, as focus returns to the heady party vibes of the group's hugely successful major label debut, Losing Streak: pogo-driven "Best Wishes to Your Black Lungs" and "That's Why They Call It a Union" are standard-issue Less Than Jake. As with the band's other releases, the music inspires clear feelings of love and hate. --Aidin VaziriFlorida's Less Than Jake flies the banner of the New Punk South with its Sire debut album Anthem. The CD is enhanced with the video for 'She's Gonna Break Soon' & more plus the bonus track 'Surrender'. 2003.
