PENTHOUSE FORUM says:
Radio sucks; the compact disk is dead; music downloads have had a shorter shelf life than Paris Hilton’s self-respect; and fuck you too! This is indeed the worst time to be a member of a rock-and-roll band, so pity the Star Spangles, whose sophomore CD, Dirty Bomb, is chock-full of anthemic, punk-tinged power pop that could just be the kiss of death for them in the long run. The music business being the roiling existential tar pit it is, having a top-selling CD, or worse yet a hit single, with a song like “Tear It To Pieces Girl” or the frickin’ excellent “Gangland,” would only mean sucking the corporate dick of a major label again (the band ended its association with the dopes at Capitol Records two years ago), which only would get them a huge advance, which in turn would only drive them deep into debt, and ultimately seal their fate as future fry cooks or male hustlers. So do the band a favor and avoid this record like the plague. It’s that good. — Eric Danville
