Reviews & Opinions

ROBERT CHRISTGAU: 'Television Generation' and 'Just Another Teenage Anthem' never really got me as singles, and neither the Kursaal Flyers nor New Hearts proved deep enough to make good albums, but on this pop punk compilation they sound absolutely ace. Masterswitch's 'Action Replay,' the Cortinas' 'Heartache,' and the Vibrators' 'Judy Says' also fit in. The Diodes' 'Red Rubber Ball' is as useless as every other piece of Toronto punk I've heard. Since they also lead off the group's new collection on domestic Epic, the two nice cuts by the Only Ones are redundant. The teaser by the Spikes is good enough to make me hope they record an album. And the teaser by After the Fall is so good that I won't mind owning it twice when their album comes out. Quite snazzy, recommended to dabblers and discophiles alike. B+

Additional Notes

i don't own this LP, but I suspect the time printed on the label for the Cortinas song is incorrect, and that this is the single version, which is actually 2:50 long. Correct me if you know otherwise.
