CD Reviews

Mensen return all polished up.
Alex Nennig | New London, WI | 12/26/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Mensen is back and still rockin' out loud and proud, but this time around they've gotten a little more polished.



Yes, they're still playing fast, fun, punky garagey rock (like the New Bomb Turks, Hellacopters, and Ramones all sorta mixed together), but the productions a little cleaner and the songs seem more calculated and develeloped. Some songs, like "Bosnia," are downright pleasant.



Their first album had a better feeling of crazy energy, the band just throwing down and rocking out like they were late for a bus. This ones a little more refined, and that refinement reveals better songs and bigger ideas.



So while "Oslo City" isn't quite the same half hour of adrenaline and fire that "Delusions of Grandeur" was, it's still a kick in the teeth, and the higher attention to song development only makes it that much sweeter."
