#2078 ? and the Mysterians - 96 Tears

Does "garage band" imply that they're a dime a dozen? That any jackshit with a guitar, a pen, a stapler, and parents could kick one off?

Is it a coincidence that I come upon this revelation while I relisten to [fuck you and all your band members and your band's various dumbshit names]'s album?

I should like this - those surfy guitars, those organs, that loose style. I almost do.

But I don't buy it, there's no real looseness, no real fire or chancetaking - it feels calculated, disposable, priced 25 cent / ea. Fancypants motherfuckers with your bluesey piano track.

I keep reading that these guys were on some vanguard but I don't hear it. I don't hear rebellion or sincerity, I hear shtick  2.5/5
