#228 Tyvek - Nothing Fits

Dusted!

Smashy, metalic punk rock, with enough melody and rah-rah shouting to rouse the senses and keep you interested, sounding like a mellower, less virtuoso bad brains, if I had to pick a punk touchstone. That's a pretty good thing, and this is one of the better punk albums I've heard this year, with just enough purpose and theme to set it apart. That said, its pretty tough to get a super high score as a punk band on this blog. I'm all about originality and hooks and interesting structure, and if you're doing a lot of that kind of stuff, you probably are doing punk wrong. Highlights like Underwater 2 and the title track are still good for 3.5/5
