4.0 out of 5 stars crunchy, catchy, and clever, December 21, 2004

This review is from: Sophomore Jinx (Audio CD)

This album is a pure Fender assault, with catchy hooks and clever, slightly devious lyrics ("When I see your best friend, it feels like an eaarthquake" for example).

It's like plain old loud skatepunk music, only a click smarter and funnier. I've had this CD for many years and it still gives me a grin whenever I play it.

The second "Too Slow" on the track list is really an uncredited cover of the Circle Jerks' "Red Tape". It's hard to imagine but Olivelawn's cover is actually a bit faster.

If you like clever, loud, aggressive guitar rock, give this one a spin. If you like Olivelawn, you should check out Fluf. It's the phoenix that rose from the ashes of Olivelawn's demise, and they rock like hell, too.
