| | Review: Social Distortion, White Light White Heat White Trash - Jeremy Ashcroft (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | I say this by way of apology: this album is good, but in the same way that some people can't really enjoy the music of, say, Kate Bush, just because of her very distinctive voice, my enthusiasm for Social Distortion is lessened purely because of the vocals. |
 | | is Social Distortion's sixth album, and although some previous releases have reflected the band's interest in rockabilly (such as Hank Williams), this one is firmly rooted in the U.S. punk rock that the band grew up with. |
 | | Highlights include the album opener, "Dear Lover" - which after its misleading intro, which could have been The Cranberries' "Zombie" - truly bursts into life; "I Was Wrong", which quite rightfully given its anthemic feel is the album's first single; and "Pleasure Seeker" which has an Instinct-era Iggy feel about it. |
