Love Songs For The Unloved
Hadn't listened to this cd in ages. Many consider Just Can't Hate Enough to be their finest, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say it is this one.
The lyrical content reminds me of my life when it came out in 1995. Failing relationships, alcohol abuse to the extreme, driving around ganked on
speed at 6:00 in the morning. Ahhh to be 20 again. Thank you Rev. Paulie, thank you.....

Just Cant Hate Enough is my favorite. Like you with Love song, that album is with me. But I will say this album is definitely a solid album. So many
great songs on this one.

My favorite "album" is Ugly and Proud. Best overall vibe and I like the raw sound much more than the polished Thanks Fer Nuthin...plus the extra songs
don't hurt being they're some of the best tracks.
But as far as favorite overall release I'd say that Blackout Demos CD. Thats some dark dark shit right there.

Done All Wrong, and Blowout On Indiana Ave are def some of the best tracks on that record.
I was fortunate to find a No Grounds For Pity demo cassette a few years ago for a reasonable price on ebay. That earlier stuff in them years is
killer. All in all, I really find no flaws in anything they did over the years. One of my favorite bands of all time.

"Ugly & Proud" is my favorite by leaps and bounds. The lyrics, the music, everything was just incredible. Love Songs..., Old, New..., and Just Can't
Hate Enough are all tied for second. I wasn't big on Thanks Fer Nuthin, as I prefer the versions on Ugly & Proud. I did like the extra song though,
Hymn 13 I think it was called.
‘Do you know what a love letter is? It’s a bullet from a fucking gun. Straight through your heart.’

My absolute least favorite SHEER TERROR record, sorry.
I like about 2 or 3 songs on LSFTU. It was way too Punk for a band like ST.

I dont know, of course ST were "Punk", but they were also very metallic and heavy.
When LSFTU came out, I was like "WFT? ST thinks they are Ranicd now?", but I grew to like some songs.

I'm dead serious.
Sheer Terror were NEVER EVER as Punk sounding as they were before LSFTU. They were a Hardcore/Metal band. They sounded like the Hardcore CELTIC FROST
for years! And on the ep before LSFTU, "Old New...." they didn't sound too Punk either to my ears. That's like a dark Rock record.

love songs has more of an oi sound to it maybe

I had Ugly and Proud on in the car on the way into work this morning. I forgot how good those "asshole and proud" tracks were.

I guess the "oi" sound of it reminded him of pirates? No idea, but next time you listen to it, you'll realize ST was going through their pirate phase,
its undeniable.

Agreed. This, to me, is the true mark of a quality band.

Truth.
I think that, if anything, Love Songs has a more Rock 'N Roll sound to it. There's definitely no way in hell it could be compared to Rancid, of all
fuckin' things.
Let's see, what's that one spoken part from an old Sheer Terror song? Something like, "This ain't none of that posi-core crap, this is New York Punk
Rock and if you don't like it, you can kiss my big, fat, ass."

i've been listening to sheer terror for 19 years and i love it all.
that said, i've probably listened to love songs the most since it was released.
mark lind and i were talking about this just a week or two ago...
do you think joe coffee's first cd was that much of a leap in a new direction compared to love songs exclusively.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.
