#2888 The Rozwell Kid - The Rozwell Kid LP

Even more so than Weezer, Rozwell Kid nail that sweetspot, that overlap between pop-punk and hair metal. Speed any of these songs up 25% you get punk proper, slow em down and they turn into stoner rock - as is it's just nodalong anthemic bliss. Add a little bit of slacker wit and it's no wonder My Saturn and Ace Ventura Pt 3 have been in my head for days. This's heavier than the more-fun Too Shabby or Good Graphics, but not as leaden as Precious Art. Sweet spot.

25 years ago these guys coulda been stars, but be glad they're here in the post-rock 2010's when we need them most 4/5
