I thought this was a re-issue until the song about Tim McViegh. Sounds like an '80s band with a '70s feel. Adds up to some good power pop with lots of intricate guitar work. Bonus tracks feature Alan K demo with drum machine, keyboards and something SPRINGSTEENesque. –TB

I liked this way more than some previous releases. Kevin is letting go of some of his Johnny Thunders-wannabe stylizations and is finding more of his own style on this release. All good subject matter is covered: being treated like dirt, drugs, G.G. Allen, DWI. The CD was dedicated to the memory of Alan K whose demo is on tracks 13 thru 18. It's a shame Alan isn't around anymore as his tracks "Breakdown" and Nine Lives" explore the shitty side of life honestly. –Tom Brebric
