Fantastic album.
Review of White Light White Heat White Trash - Social Distortion by
banksy86
Advantages: It would appeal to a lot of musical genres.
Disadvantages: You just want more and more.
This is my favorite Social Distortion album. Every single track is amazing in my opinion. The tracks are hard and fast with a deep sense of meaning and thoughtfulness in the lyrics. Compared to there other releases it probably does fall short of Mommy's little monster in the quality of the songs but it makes up for it because it has more songs of a very high quality. The songs and the sound are unlike any other band and it is different to some of ... ...the album compared to there other work. But it still has the Mike Ness feel to the album with his rough vocals and catchy guitar riffs. It also has my favorite song of all time on which is Dont Drag Me Down. If you like Punk, Rock or even Rockabilly and there is something on here for you. ...

dartfordhammer
Advantages: Good solid rock album.
Disadvantages: Perhaps a bit too samey.
...Review
------------------
I first discovered Social Distortion on a video game, of all places. It was on Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX for the Playstation, and the song Don't Drag Me Down hit me like a ton of bricks. I was mesmerised by the raw power, the passion, the blast of the music. I searched on various downloading softwares such as Kazaa, Morpheus, Audiogalaxy, WinMX, etc to find their music. And what I found I loved. I went out and bought 'White ... ...taste of Mr. Mike Ness, Social D's frontman. The album as a whole is very accessible; all the songs are very much guitar-based and quite pacey, but there are lighter, poppy songs in the mix along with dark, brooding songs.

We're Heading For... One Hit and That's it.
Review of Final Countdown, The - Europe by
karoliina
Advantages: Nostalgia on the max.
Disadvantages: Embarrassment of humming it in public.
Oh lordy, Eurpoe's Final Countdown...
The school discos during the innocent years before alcopops. Walking in a big circle around the dancefloor with your pals, eyeing cute guys and envying the couples snogging in the dark corners, mirror balls spinning, a bit of smoke lingering in the air...
Nostalgia on the max. I've always been a sucker for nostalgia, but I think finding Europe again was a mistake. It's a summertime favourite in the Scandinavian ... ...odd became cool, anyway.
Final Countdown... I remember getting horrific thoughts revolving around the possible end of the world while listening to the songs lyrics. The overall feel of it is this sweet desperation that eventhough we are heading for Venus, we still stand tall and are together. Lovely idea, but I doubt it if Venus is any better than Earth during the end.
No, it's a memorable song from my childhood. The lovely 1980s. Spandex, glitter, ...
