Descendents

Now d/b/a All, these unprivileged Orange County punks had two great moments, The Fat EP and Milo Goes to College--both half cannibalized here, both now fully comprised by the Two Things at Once CD. Begin there. But anyone beguiled, enthralled, or smacked between the eyes by how nakedly these guys don't quite understand their class rage and love-hungry sexual anxiety will hear through their bouts of misogyny and sophomoric humor for the 19 more tuneful if less inspired selections from three later and lesser albums, as in the tortured breakup song/metaphor "Dirty Sheets" and the f*ckup/square's confession "Coolidge."
