Do I get at least some brownie points for finding The Shape of Punk to Come to be by far the best album I've discovered this year, and at least top five of last year as well? Seriously, where the **** has this thing been all my life?





Seriously, if I was in a band in 1998, I would have quit after hearing this, cause what's the point?

And that's the whole song. Nothing else happens - just "BAAHP-BOP! buh-BAP buh-BA-BAP-BAP-BAH!" ad infinitum, (and ad nauseam).

I have no problem being seen as a curmudgeonly old man shaking his fist at whippersnappers if this is the kind of sh*t they're going to play.
