Here are some customer reviews of
Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll
: Wow, how do they do it? I have been a fan for years. It seems that since Prison Bound came out they get better and better. Reach for they sky has a powerful hook and message. This one took two plays before I decided. By the third play I was floored. The music keeps the old edge but adds modern sounds. Every band that calls their music "punk" today has social distortion to thank. I have waited eight years for this record and it was worth every second.
This group called Social D is old, but they sound like any other new group, like Franz Ferdinand. I like all the songs on this cd, but my favoritn has to be Reach for the Sky. I like the lyrics but its the beat that really reals you in. A year ago i didnt listen to music, too much school pressure. Now i know that if i a m bored or sad just listen to some good rock and youll feel better, guaranteed, or youre a fag. Any more cd s like this one and Social D will become more popular than linkin park. Go Social D!
I, like all the Social Distortion fans, have been waiting and hoping for this album and I am very please to say that it does not disappoint. Sure there will be some that say it's not as hardcore as some of their older albums. These are the same jerks that yell at bands during shows calling them sell outs. These are not true music fans. If you don't want a band that evolves than go listen to Poison or some other band that's going to be playing county fairs for the next 20 years.
ANYWAY, the album kicks @ss and is well worth getting, my favorite songs are 1) Reach for the Sky and 6) I Wasn't Born to Follow
Later
I'm 29, an old schooler(bloodstains79,you have one dead as hell soul, man), and a sucker for music about damaged
pasts and tortured souls...And Ness always delivers! These slabs of down n'out punk rock shaken in a whiskey sour tumbler cut right to the "Heart of the matter" and I often think of my new-school soldiers and how fresh their wounds and battle scars are...and more often than not...social D is chimin' away in the background...all that needs to be said is that this album moves me to tears...and any peice of music that accomplishes that task is f**kin' priceless!
It's been eight years since we have gotten a taste of some new Social D, and I can say that while Ness' solo work is pretty cool I'd much rather have him fronting this band. I've listened through the album one and a half times so far and I can say it rocks. If the younger crowd out there is looking for any of that crappy "new punk" keep shopping, but for those of you who were there in the early days, this is a little piece of what we remember.
