20/20s new CDs- any good?

Postby newdave7 » Thu Jul 13, 2006 6:56 pm

I love the 20/20's first 2 albums. Are the last 2 of the same calibre? Any good songs or just a pale copy of their former-selves?

If you refer to 4 Day Tornado and Interstate, they are both very good IMO. No, not just like their earlier releases, but very good just the same and well worth having. You might want to seek out Ron Flynt's solo stuff as himself and with his new band the Blue Hearts, these are also excellent and pretty cheap CD's to find.

I saw this while browsing the Oglio Records site last night. How can you go wrong at $5.00 each?

Saw these guys at Wolf and Rismiller's Country Club in Reseda (more than once), and have to laugh at the quotes they write on that website that 'lectric motor posted...

20/20 "...defines power pop as a genre." And this: "...it becomes perfectly clear that the legacy of 20/20, the founding fathers of power pop is alive."

I'm sorry, did they invent "Power Pop" because then been I've mis-led all these years... (and I'll admit, right here, right now, that I was a Mod in high school, gulp!) [B)]

BTW, I like 20/20, so I have no beef with them, I guess just 1-800-Cool-CDs website's writings... too funny! [:p]
