Best Record I Need More Time with from 2011
Fucked Up “David Comes to Life”
It seems to me that Fucked Up has a lot of records I loved in high school & college in their record collections. This feels like the lost follow-up to Fuel’s classic “Monuments to Excess”, but with a better understanding of classic non-punk rock & roll than any of those great 90s bands seemed to have.
I haven’t spent enough time with this to decode the concept & story, but I’m looking forward to digging in further, and ready to dip into Fucked Up’s back catalog as well. Apparently, I almost missed the boat!
Falling for this record has me wondering if I’m Fucked Up for not paying attention to melodic underground punk & hardcore anymore, and wondering if underground punk & hardcore still exists! Does it?
