thejoj96why does this album exist
I didn't enjoy this one at all. Even the best track, Rock Lobster, goes on far too long to be enjoyable.
an_outlaw@Gary - I did... I did. Still have nightmares over it and AAAAAHAHHHHHHHHH
Great one that is quite unique.
Give it a go, you will not regret it.
If this album doesn't put me in a good mood nothing will. It's so cheesy and fun I can't help but love it. My faves are Dance This Mess Around and of course Rock Lobster.
HaydenI haven't listened to the cd version yet, but I heard a live recording of the album today, and it's fairly bad. Hope that's just the live quality though, maybe the cd will be better.
The first 6 tracks are classic party tunes. The falloff after that is heavy, and the last track, "Downtown", is a pretty lifeless cover. But when the 52's were on in the early days, they were as weird and awesome as anyone...the ultimate party band.
