#1031 The Sonics - Boom

More choice R&B revival proto-garage rock from the Sonics. This is rougher, tougher, more frantic than Here Are the Sonics, but it lacks that honed edge and punchy delivery - nothing here cuts quite as hard as Strychnine or Psycho. This is the cooler, more diverse, but ultimately less exciting of the two Sonics LPs 3.5/5
