Sub Pop (2013)
This is the new reissue of the 2nd Thermals album on Sub Pop. Like the More Parts Per Million reissue it sounds and looks great, though I see no real difference in sound from my original pressing. But the vinyl looks really sharp and it's great that the record is finally back in print again for those that don't have the original.
I loved Fuckin A just as much as More Parts Per Million. I very clearly remember the very first time I heard it. Sitting in my apartment at the time that was in Jersey City, starting up the music and listen so intently. I was more than a little concerned that they'd let me down with their 2nd record, so many bands do, but Fuckin A hit it out of the park again.
The fidelity is a bit higher, but the songs are still loud, fast and angry. The hooks are incredible, but so unorthodox. There aren't a ton of bands that can pull off what The Thermals managed on their 1st two albums. Just like I said yesterday, this record also sounds just as incredible today as it did when I first heard it. Absolutely essential.
