The Living End

Self-titled

(BMG)

Even on their 1998 debut, it was evident that Australia's Living End were an embodiment of Punk's promised thunder with invigorating freshness. A crisp generation had its own Clash. Ripsaw chords pummelled without pause, just as rhythms hurtled. Creativity crackled in an anthemic barrage. The effect was made still more intensive by musical faculty and streamlined songwriting. Given surgical precision, the force bludgeoned profitably. (And it continues to do so.)

Along with that original disc, this reissue includes a live CD.

Recommended: "Prisoner Of Society," "Growing Up (Falling Down)" "Second Solution," "West End Riot," "Monday," "All Torn Down," "Save the Day," "Trapped," "Have They Forgotten?," "Fly Away," "Closing In"
