#1177 3 Colours Red - Pure

Blindingly straightforward 3-chord 90's rock, full of big solos, always full speed, always full volume, this is perfectly pleasant near-pop, near-punk. Straightforward's sometimes a bad thing: the songs lean on their respective one big chorus hook again and again, pure verse chorus verse, with a bridge or solo or build placed at about the same spot every time. But when that hook's really good, when that extra move really drives it home, like on the killer one-two punch of Sixty Mile Smile and Sunny in England, you'll be glad to ride that sweet thing to the ends of the earth 3/5
