10 years?
Longer?
It has actually been 12 years!
12 years!
And then they come out with such a banger. As if nothing had happened. As if time had stood still.
For a long time, DESCENDENTS were just one of those T-shirt bands for me. You know the band through shirts but not because you've seen them. It was only later that I came to know and love the band's greatness.
DESCENDENTS are one of the very few bands still playing that American punk that accompanied me through my youth. There were No Fx, Green Day, Lagwagon, and later, when I was finally allowed to drink spirits, the DESCENDENTS.
The band also processes many personal and societal experiences on this album. Whether it's “No Fat Burger,” which the doctor recommended for a long and healthy life. Or “Fighting Myself,” what could the song be about?
Oh man, the songs hit hard as ever. It truly is a time travel you undertake while listening to the album, and even the vocals still sound youthful.
It's fantastic what the band has achieved after 12 years.
DESCENDENTS are one of the very few bands where time has left no marks. It's not a reunion, but to deliver such a great album after such a long time is something I never expected in my life. You get older, more mature, more settled...
Not this band, for that I am grateful.
So I would like to end this rather short review with the following lines:
This album is 100% DESCENDENTS.
It is 100% punk rock.
