Half Hour of Power专辑介绍

2000年6月,乐队推出了他们的首张专集“Half Hour of Power”,说实话这张专辑卖得并不怎么好。这张唱片的开场曲“Grab the Devil by the Horns and FUCK Him up the Ass”就足以颠覆所有人的耳朵。在这首仅1分06秒的歌曲中,人们仿佛可以体验到旧日英国金属的味道,Iron Maiden(铁娘子)式的调子随处可见。在这首多少有点回顾意义的作品之后,专集马上被铺天盖地的流行朋克旋律所覆盖了。象“Make No Difference”和“Summer”这样的作品,都带着很悦耳的hook line,但也有的乐评人认为,这张专集并不出色,其中相当一部分作品多少带着早期Green Day和Blink182的影子,那样的作品在电台中是难以得到好的评价的。

The first track, "Grab the Devil by the Horns and Fuck Him up the Ass," is a time warp. For a minute and a half the group relives the new wave of British metal and cranks out an Iron Maiden style tune. After a brief trip down memory lane the album quickly morphs into pop punk. The songs are well crafted and the hooks are catchy on "Make No Difference" and "Summer." But in some respects that is problematic, there was a time in the pre-Green Day/Blink 182 years where punk defined itself by not being radio friendly. A good album, but essentially proof that turn of the millennium punk is just as much a corporate rock entity as adult contemporary.
