This's superficially another pile of Ramones-gobbling also-ran songs, but it's somehow more. The production's rough and ferocious, the vocals just slightly Aussie-twanged, and those guitars - mostly those guitars, those leads so goddamn sweet.
And even when they slow down they do it right, even when they sound a little familiar. Messin' with the Kid is basically Knockin on Heavens Door, but with this kinda proto Beta Band chug and soaring bass that takes it to a whole 'nother hypnotic level. And again, goddamn those guitars. Can't stop listening. A rocksolid piece of classic rock / punk 4/5
