Da Bomb

I've been listenin' to the latest record from The Bomb, featuring former Naked Raygun frontman Jeff Pezzati. I just wanted to leave a quick note about it. I LOVE Naked Raygun, and this newest album, Indecision, is definitely Naked Raygunny. I'm not enthralled by it, that's for sure, but there's something about it that makes me thing it'll grow on me. It's pretty hooky, and filled with the whoa-ooh-ooh, anthemic feel that dominated NR tunes.

Still, though the songs are stickin' with me, I'm pretty disappointed with the lyrics. They're waaaay repetitive, to the point of laziness. Pezzati always wrote cool lyrics, that's why I'm kinda bummed about the ones on this album. It seems as though he didn't put as much effort into them as he could have. And there's something about the presence of his voice in the tunes that makes the lacking lyrics a little grating, at least for a word-person like I tend to be. It's worth listenin' to though....
