Here’s a live album that scores points with me right off the bat because 1) it comes with a comic book, and 2) it’s 50 minutes long, which is cool because too many punk bands play 20-minute sets these days, and they’re offstage just as the kiddies are getting into them. Otherwise, this album and this band just don’t do much for me. There are some good guitar hooks, but the monotony of their sound bores the hell out of me. If I’m gonna listen to music in this vein, I’ll listen to Bad Religion.
