seriously though, i've been listening to this album the past couple weeks, and i love it more each time. there's definitely a lot of wholesale lifting going on, but it's all done with a wink and a nod, and mashed together in this awesome, unholy amalgam.
Nice. I've been meaning to pick up Take the Kids Off Broadway. Thanks for the reminder. I played the hell out of their 2nd record and never really grew tired of it. They cram more riffs into a 4 minute song than a lot of bands would manage in an entire album. Plus, they have that whole "rock star" thing going on.

i try to start at the beginning of a band's catalog to start with, though i bypassed the "concept album" they recorded when they were 15. i'm sure it won't be long before i move on to the new album.
