Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capitalizing on the monumental success of 'Dirty Water', The Standells rapidly delivered this fuzzed-out, sneering collection of prime American garage rock. Heavily guided by producer Ed Cobb, the album leans into tough, rebellious posturing with jagged guitar riffs and pounding rhythms. The title tracks remain definitive anthems of mid-60s teenage frustration and proto-punk attitude.
