Free Music Review: Where It All Began...
Hit: 4 Stars
This is where it all began. Many of the so called "punk rock" bands of today would do well to go back and listen to this album. This is Social Distortions contribution to the first wave of Southern California punk. It sounds as good today as it did in the 1980's.
However, those who are only familiar with their radio hits such as "Ball & Chain", "Ring of Fire", and "When The Angels Sing" might be somewhat put off by this album. There can be no doubt that this is a raw, in your face, punk rock classic.
While they may have released more fully realized and better albums later in their career, this album is essential to anyone who loves this band. The highlights on the album include...
-Another State of Mind
-Telling Them
-Hour of Darkness
-Mommy's Little Monster
Mommy's Little Monster Poster
One of the true characters of L.A.'s first hardcore wave, Social D's frontman Mike Ness seemingly fancied himself a boot-boy Johnny Cash at the time of this 1983 release. The tales he spun--many of which were later borne out by stints in jail and drug treatment--blurred the line between American anti-hero and punk no-goodnik, between Cash and the Clash. And, unlike a lot of their Angeleno brethren, Ness and axeman Dennis Danell really knew how to write a song. Admittedly, this incarnation of the band is decidedly less accessible than the current edition. And while they may not be as anthemically inspiring as the more earnest work found on, say, Prison Bound, snotty proclamations like the title track and "It Wasn't a Pretty Picture" stomp along with authority to spare. --David SpragueAlternative Rock Music CDs
