This may be the defining moment for the California punk legends Social Distortion. Whether that's good or bad depends on you opinion, or perhaps your perspective.

Who cares? This album and Mommy's Little Monster are both classics! Played the fuck out of this cd. 100/100 probably 3 of the top 100 all time songs are on this album in "Ring of Fire," "Ball and Chain," and "Story of My Life." He's right. They do make for good drinking tunes/ This ain't no 7 in my book. Classic Social D, 10 stars no fucking doubt. This CD is what all others should be judged against...definition of a 10 This is for that idiot two blocks below me. If you've never heard of Social Distortion you must be a fucking idiot and shouldn't even be on this website. Social Distortion is probably the band that got you into punk and you don't even know it. Ass! mike ness is the god of the punk world and dennis danell rest his soul is Jesus of the punk world. I ahve been listening to this album for years strait . Ive already warped one of them. Who ever gave this album half a star can suck my ass they r just a fucker with no goddamn taste. why do people keep reviewing bands that no one has heard of? I bet this band sucks bad! Classic!! No, a classic would be "Mommy's Little Monster". This is just good You should be shot for only giving this 3 and half,classic 5 stars -oldpunker- Bands that sound like Social D besides Automatic 7... The only bands that come to mind are Cadillac Tramps, who are more alike in spirit than sound. There's Automatic 7, who sound like a tribute band sometimes--they have albums on BYO and Vagrant (I think) that no one who has all their chromosomes should actually own. But I'm doubting you've heard much from either. SD is way bigger. is there any band (thats somewhat heardof) that social distortion kinda sounds like? and please dont tell me some crap like "no one, they're so unique." because not answering helps me more than that. okay, not that it doesn't suck that strummer passed away, but how long is that "Joe Strummer (1952-2002)" gonna be up there? Social D raised me. I can say, without a doubt, they are still my favorite band. Even though I kinda grew out of the teenage greaser stage, sometimes when I listen, I feel like breaking out the pomade. I'm partial to Mommy's Little Monster. I think we can all agree that Social Distortion kicks ass. in absolutly no way are they assholes. i saw them, and it was the best show of my life. maybe some things Mike's said have sounded arrogant in the past, but check out the last two issues of "The Big Takeover" and you'll see how he really feels about the newer kids that review absolutely blew Great band, great songs, great album. They have every right not to want you up on stage, start your own band if you want to get up there. The best stagedive moment I ever saw was at a Supersuckers show, Dan Bolton tripped some kid who was running across the stage and he fell flat on his face. Oh, and this is a great album. The only Social D album I have is White Light, White Heat, White Trash and that kicks ass. I am looking to get another one and am torn btwn this and Live at the Roxy. Also, I am planning to see them in CO this May, however I have heard they are kinda assholes when they play. Not that they put on a bad show, but if some kids get on stage they bitch at them and say stuff like: "this is where we work, we don't come to Burger King and jump up and down like idiots, do we? Get off!" While this may be a valid way for them to feel, it just seems a little douchebaggish. Any truth to this? (Even so, I am still there, they kick ass!) For some reason I don't have this album yet. God. I am an idiot. Story of my Life is possibly my favorite Social D song ever. social d>>you. dammit-release the new record already! most anticipated album of the year.....actually 2nd most anticpated after the new limp bizkit record. This band changed my life. My brother bought me the cd when i was 9, I grew up on this album. Mike Ness is the man. My SxDx top: good review. i cant believe no one reviewed this before now. I can't say anything that hasn't been said about this band. Really, anything they touch is gold. Not my fav Social D album, but still really good. I got Live at the Roxy first though, so I tend to prefer those versions of the songs on here a lot. But it's SD, so you know it's great. I'd rank the albums: good review, the score should be better...like perfect better -bigjerk |
