Descendents: Cool To Be You
Label: Epitaph
Release Date: 2004
Review Date: 2004
Another fine release from the Descendents, part 2. Not as good as Everything Sucks, but a solid effort. Nothing With You, and Dog and Pony Show are like classic Descendents songs. A lot of misfit in society and girl trouble vibes are abound... Blast Off is a throw back to low-brow toilet humor that Descendents fans have become accustomed to. The best tracks by far are ‘Merican, which has a distinct Bad Religion feel (not surprising considering who it was prodiced by), and Mass Nerder, a classic that could have easily come out on Milo Goes to College. Kick their asses in class! Yes, in an academic way. Not all the songs are that memorable, but it beats the current Good-Blink-Charlotte nonsense found in car commercial sponsored tours.
