DESCENDENTS ROLL

Share

“ENJOY!” Descendents. Restless. With a roll of toilet paper on the cover and a title track dedicated to bizarre bathroom fetishes, this album shows no signs that these South Bay punkers are ready to concede to the pressures of adulthood. In fact, the irreverent quartet seems to be receding farther into the “Animal House” wing of the hard-core movement. Full of lowbrow frat humor, “Enjoy!” is not an album for feminists, socialites or anybody who’d be offended by lyrics about “spilling innards on my dreams.” But this LP will appeal to those taken by spirited thrash and catchy power-punk pop. Any band that can brew both a tasty, revved-up version of the Beach Boys’ “Wendy” and a seven-minute Doorsian psychodrama that would make Henry Rollins envious deserves applause. Listen and ENJOY!
