Search - Bassholes :: When My Blue Moon Turns Red Again

Has some great lyrics, but lacks the charm of other work

"I previously had heard the Bassholes' first album, Blue Roots, before I picked up this one. I loved that album to death, but this album doesn't quite do it for me so much. First off, this is much more of a punk album that seeks to blow out your eardrums, more or less. Secondly, this studio recording lacks the warmth and DIY feel of the first album's 4-track sound. Finally, this disc lacks the memorable riffs of Blue Roots, except for the inferior new versions of "Judge Harsh Blues" and "Nakema" included. On the plus side, though, the lyrics are hilarious as always."
