Solid punk rock - just about a retro sound, true as it is (to my ears) to mid-80s west coast punk. Lyrically it was occasionally smarter than average, the ambiguous little horror song about a life-claiming small town lake stood out. But a lot of it was firmly planted in the particular punk tropes of post-teen, angsty, directionless raging of the perpetual screw-up. Like the punk sound itself, a shallow pool to draw from.

Didn't do much for me. I feel like this genre is pretty well represented. Bonus points for being short. My personal rating: 3/5 My rating relative to the list: 3.5/5 Should this have been included on the original list? No
