Product Description
From Amazon.com
Led by Los Angeles punk legend Rikk Agnew, the Adolescents lived up to their name, bawling out song after angst-ridden song about how much everything--mom, dad, the cops, and, most likely, you--totally sucked. Admittedly, that was nothing special for the scene that spawned them, but Agnew's jaw-dropping array of guitar tricks vaulted the Adolescents near to the top of the heap. Equal parts Dick Dale, Johnny Thunders, and Chuck Berry, Agnew didn't flaunt virtuoso moves, but the riffs he laid down on classics like "I Hate Children," "Wrecking Crew," and "Section 8" were instrumental in creating America's first mosh pits. This CD version also includes the Ads' "Welcome to Reality" EP, for a total of 26 whiplash-inducing tracks. --David Sprague

TSOL Fans Will Love This,
By B-R-Mike M. (Old Lyme, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adolescents (Audio CD)
Those of you who only know "Amoeba" and think that every song on the album is like that, then you'll be shocked. Probably one of the best goth punk albums of all time, this album gives you a creepy and angry look into the twisted minds of Adolescents. Their music is very much inspired by goth punks like TSOL and Misfits, but also show a artistic ability that not many punks can compare to. With epic songs like "Kids of the Black Hole", Adolescents play punk songs that are so much longer then most (it clocks in at five minutes and twenty-seven seconds). Combined with gutter-punk vocals tha cannot be matched, this album is a must for any punk fan. Warning: Most people who like the whole "punky pop" thing going on will not enjoy this album (duh!). The album also includes Adolescents first EP "Welcome to Reality". I have no idea why the person who set up the page put Rikk Agnew's first album on the songlist, but who cares. In conclusion, this album will change how you look at punk rock. FOREVER!!!!!

Wow!,

This review is from: Adolescents (Audio CD)
This is an amazing CD. When I heard this was one of the main influences of some of today's terrible MTV "pop-punk" bands I was a little reluctant to check this out. Luckily for me this CD is nothing like those other bands. It truely is a great album for anyone into hardcore or punk.

One of the greatest skate punk CDs,
By hyena206 (Seattle,WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adolescents (Audio CD)
These guys were the epitome of what southern california punk was and is. No bs fast, full of angst, melodic skate punk. Bands like Bad Religion and Social Distortion also emulated this style. Listen to the chorus of Amoeba and you will know what I'm talking about. Anyways, this album is not overly harsh on the ears and the lyrics are ...catchy. ...
