Makes me want to build something. Like remodel the living room. Build a wall or something. Drink beer from a can. Listened completely and on my
second spin before I sleep. I like it. tireironsaint - 1-12-2011 at 01:45 AM
It's definitely more laid back and more friendly sounding than any album they've done before, but aside from a song or two I didn't like too much,
it's still pretty good. I know everybody is citing the Rolling Stones influence on this record, but I hear at least as much Springsteen as Stones.
That's a good thing in my book, by the way. I think they stepped a little further away from their standard formula in making this album and in all
honesty, I'm surprised they finally did that. Social Distortion has worked that same formula for a hell of a lot of years now and while I think they
did a pretty good job of not letting that get stale, it's nice to see 'em try something different. I think there will probably be quite a few guys
with Sick Boy tattoos that might get tears in their eyeliner the first couple times they spin this album, but for anyone who can appreciate the
songwriting a bit and not just wish for 10 more albums just like the majority of their back catalog, I think it will probably hold up pretty well.Discipline - 1-12-2011 at 01:47 AM

I think this is dope. WLWHWT and Sex Love Rock N ROll were a bit too similar to me (although great records). This is still Social D through and
through but with some great and acceptable detours. Into it.

just now getting around to listening.
track 2 - california hustle and flow - sounds like a damn ACO song!
generally, i like SD, but i only have sex, love and rock n roll and self titled. never seen 'em live, so the fans haven't had a chance to turn me
off.
side note:
i really like the idea behind this promotion (the more streams, the cheaper the purchase price), but 500,000 in a week seems... aggressive. ShawnRefuse - 1-12-2011 at 12:21 PM
musically I like it, but he uses the same phrases from songs of the past. Not sure I will buy it, but I will stream it a few times to see if catches
me more. I am not digging the women backup singers. Seems like an attempt to just make it sound fuller. BKT - 1-12-2011 at 12:38 PM
I am loving this album, but their finest moment for me is still Somewhere Between Heaven And Hell.

I thought so too, but it looks like it only takes someone listening to a single song as a full stream, so if most folks stream the whole album it adds
up quick.
I think the count jumped by about 17000 in just the time it took me to listen to the album once. morgan - 1-13-2011 at 05:28 AM
Going to have to check this one out.BDx13 - 1-13-2011 at 07:12 AM
yeah, i guess that's supposed to be the idea behind 'social media' anyway - the snowball effect!joey - 1-13-2011 at 05:18 PM
BD, you never heard ''mommys little monster''?!?!
Pick that one upMikeFromInhuman - 1-13-2011 at 09:05 PM
At first listen of the first 4 tracks, it is very weak, and I am a mega-fan.
Need to get to the rest. If I don't like it, this will be the first SD record I do not buy.
BDx13 - 1-13-2011 at 11:16 PM
just about 200k.
not bad.
joey, i haven't heard that one, but will check it out. thanks for the suggestion.clevohardcore - 1-15-2011 at 10:30 PM
I got the new cd. A friend of mine works at a record store and hooked it up. Nice packaging and fuck this cd is very good. I understand the glossiness
of the sound but I always thought of SD as a glossy radio friendly band anyway. CR83 - 1-15-2011 at 10:41 PM
I love the new album. My daughter and I are listening to it a lot together. It has been a very cool experience with me and her.
To me the album is a more "mature" album with Rock and Roll roots. It isn't punk to me, it is like good American Rock N' Roll. I'm a mark for this
band though. I pretty much will like anything they do.
Diamond in the Rough is my favorite track.clevohardcore - 1-15-2011 at 11:18 PM
"Still Alive" has a chorus that won't quit. gavin - 1-15-2011 at 11:21 PM

Agreed!clevohardcore - 1-16-2011 at 02:20 AM
My five year old was singing song when he went to bed. Had the words wrong, but I knew what he was singing. AHAHAHA. We drove around listening to it
today so.... clevohardcore - 1-16-2011 at 02:22 AM

^^^^^ I agree this is one of the best songs on the release. BDx13 - 1-16-2011 at 09:22 AM
AHAHAHA. SD fans are worse than Rush fans. At least Rush fans can claim they love the legendary drumming Neil Pert. Colin - 1-16-2011 at 10:27 AM

not sure about the eyeliner, but we know one dude who came to mind with a sick boy tattoo who's known
to get teary eyed.....it might not be rockabilly enough for himBDx13 - 1-18-2011 at 05:37 PM
over 400,000 streams, so the price is set at $8.99.
not bad!
