September 15: Bowling for Soup - A Hangover You Don't Deserve
Gotta love Hastings, and gotta love that sell pile. I took four CDs from the ol' pile, and got a fresh, free copy of Bowling for Soup's brand-new disc, A Hangover You Don't Deserve.
First impressions? This CD is LONG: 17 tracks, plus TWO hidden tracks. And honestly, six or seven of them could have been cut out for quality control purposes.
Second, Bowling for Soup have some famous friends; the album credits read like the '90s Alt-Rock All-Stars. They co-wrote songs with Butch Walker (Marvelous 3), Mitch Allan (SR-71), Zac Maloy (the Nixons), and Tony Scalzo and Miles Zuniga (Fastball). Best song is obviously "1985," but there are some other winners on here, including "Ridiculous," "Ohio," and "My Hometown."
I'd give it a 6 out of 10; not as good as their last album, but still pretty good. I wouldn't be surprised to see it debut quite high on the Billboard charts next week.
