aging gracefully like Uncle Al

Saw them around the time Angel Dust came out with Babes In Toyland opening. Had a friend who was trying to convince me they weren't a dumb joke band anymore, so I went along. It was boring. Everything about them projected uptight and try-hard. Nothing about that show changed my view that they were a band of convenience built on a stack of gimmicks. Saw Boredoms around the same time. They were wild and fun. FNM were neither- too self-serious to be funny and too much of a goof to be taken seriously.

Crap

Banger.

absolute killer of a tune.

What a thread. The forum at absolute loggerheads over this one. Torn in two. Ripper asunder. Blood and thunder.

The top-tier FNM songs imo:

1st album: Mark Bowen, Why Do You Bother, As the Worm Turns.
Introduce Yourself: Faster Disco, Chinese Arithmetic, Death March, RnR, The Crab Song, Blood, Spirit.
Angel Dust: Caffeine, Malpractice, Kindergarten, A Small Victory, Jizzlobber.

I think if you try a few of these and you can't get with them, this band isn't likely to grow on you.

It’s all just so bad. Music for mid-wits to wear shorts to.

For your pleasure
