Ripper's Notes:
Well, whomever wrote the above review may have been a little bit high,
making this sound like the long awaited reunion of The Clash, with
every member at their absolute peak, and well, you know, alive.
Believe me, it's not that, but what it is, is a solid album from The
Dopamines, one of my favorite bands. This one isn't quite as screamy
as their most recent work, more in line with their earlier albums,
which, considering their debut is one of my top ten albums, is a very
welcome thing.
If you chose to share this, or any other release, elsewhere, please
give the original ripper/uploader the respect they deserve by
leaving it intact and giving credit where credit is due.
