Free Music Review: Classics Revisited
Hit: 4 Stars
How do you revisit youthful indignation with the maturity and bitterness the ensuing years bestows? On what may be their 20th studio release (there are so damn many it's hard to be sure!), the Mekons revisit their Punk Rock roots. These career anarchists bring their considerable skills to bear upon 25-year-old favorites, and a few tracks written then and only recorded now. What may at first reek of gimmickry soon reveals itself another in the Mekons' famed 180° turns. Under-appreciated from the get-go, they've produced rock classics in each of the decades they've been working (most notably the alt-country cornerstone Fear and Whiskey, and the humbly named The Mekons Rock `n' Roll). Except for the original "Trevira Trousers" from their debut, none of these tracks are better in their original form. Chock full of ideas, early Mekons had little grasp to accompany their reach. Here they hit every mark, even if it's just the recreation of youthful chaos ("I'm So Happy", "Never Been in a Riot"). So if you like punk rock, you might love Punk Rock. Or at least make the overdue acquaintance of the quintessential cult band.
