The Zeros - ''Don’t Push Me Around'' - LP

Such a fantastic, if universally unknown, punk album. "Don't Push Me Around" is hypnotic in its fiery, heavily punk approach. "Wimp" is the only dud on the album; forgettable. "Main Street Brat" is fun and gritty; quite powerful, even. "Handgrenade Heart" is one of the best on the album. "Beat Your Heart Out (Version 2)" is the best song on the album; dark and heart wrenching. I love it. "Wild Weekend" is fast and highly frenzied. "Cosmetic Couple" is ingenious and simple, simultaneously. Paradoxical. "Rico Amour" is twisted-- and I love it. One of the strongest on the album. "Beat Your Heart Out" is a stellar song, but not as impressive as "Version 2". "Getting Nowhere fast" is highly punk and beautifully so. Such an intense song. "She's Just A Girl On The Block" is reminiscent of the New York Dolls' "Bad Girl". Fantastic. "They Say That (Everything's Alright)", for whatever, reminds me of the Who at their peak on "Who's Next" ("Teenage Wasteland, anyone?). Fantastic, wholly under appreciated punk album. Oozing with punk brashness throughout.
