Every album has to evolve and Redd Kross accomplished that with Show World, while still keeping the harmonic sound that is distinctively Redd Kross, particular case in point "Mess Around".
Other great tracks to listen to "Stoned", "One Chord Progression", "You Lied Again".
Thousands of bands pay homage to The Beatles, but Redd Kross displays the best influence to date, while adding their own talents to make a delicious dish that is the VERY underrated REDD KROSS."

""Show World" is Redd Kross at their most commercially viable. While "Third Eye" was ALMOST too pop, and "Phaseshifter" was ALMOST too hard rock, this album was a perfect mix of both. The songs here are orgasmically catchy and the production is tight, in your face, and tough. This is the one that should have finally put them on the map. I especially dig, "You Lied Again," "Mess Around," and "One Chord Progression." But there really isn't a bad song in the bunch. BUY IT NOW!!!"
Spend some time with it

"I admit I wasn't bowled over with this after PHASESHIFTER, or so I thought heh heh heh. but I kept listening to it ( what can I say, I love overdriven guitars ) and I ended up loving these songs.
The Amazon reviewer who says it lacks PHASESHIFTER'S soaring harmonies must have been listening to something else. "Pretty Please Me". "Mess Around", "You Lied Again", "Kiss the Goat"
are built on this bands amazing gift for awesome sing-along choruses with almost beatelesque vocals.
No one else sounds like Redd Kross, they were one of the greatest US bands ever. If you never heard them do yourself a favor--just buy every one of their cd's , and listen to them loud.
When you are ready to thank me you may buy me a ticket to LA to see them this August."
