The Damned's debut has fire but also isn't fire at times. Like it's the kind of album I'd expect from a ground zero punk band who were still desperately reinventing the wheel and not necessarily getting everything right because of it. I mean Machine Gun Etiquette is ****ing fire but it learned from what Damned Damned Damned didn't do right.

TBH I think Radio Birdman weren't reinventing the wheel as much as The Damned were and have a bit more of a traditional vibe (or at least they sound closer to surf rock than The Damned do to their influences) and so are more consistent on their debut simply because they're falling a bit more back on safe territory.

Comparatively speaking of course cause Radio Birdman were on another level from 99% of bands in 1977. I do feel you on them not having like those 10/10 killer songs though. It's 9 or 8/10 almost all the way through but nothing goes over that perfect song threshold. A more iconic vocalist could have changed that though. The dude has mad energy but is no Jello or Rotten or Joey Ramone. Their guitarist shreds though.

Yeah I don't understand why The Saints are the most known Australian punk band. "(I'm) Stranded" was def a 10/10 punk song but they had nothing else on Radio Birdman, and honestly "New Race" does make the cut for 10/10 and they just had more engaging songwriting in general.

Honestly I think part of the reason I associate Radio Birdman with more traditional songwriting might simply be because they're just pretty good at songwriting in a way that makes it sound like their songs should be more simplistic for no other reason than perception. They sound like a talented punk band at a time when punk bands shouldn't have sounded talented.

That's exactly what I'm saying. He's got so much energy and impact, but as a personality and performer he might as well be a metal singer.

He still has to review the Drowning Pool album. One at a time.

Go for it. I don't drink cattle very often anyway.
