レビュー (Amazon)
If there is a lesson to be learned from the movie The Return of the Living Dead and its soundtrack, it's that the only good punk is an undead punk. Many of the songs that underscore this zombification of humankind are bathed in 1980s horror punk rock, most notably from the American hardcore scene. In the opening tracks you have 45 Grave's take on the far-gone dysfunctional family in its hard-edged goth-metal "Partytime (zombie version)", the emotional isolation of TSOL's straight-ahead "Nothing For You", and the trashy, treble-topping nonsense of The Flesheaters' "Eyes Without a Face". But even the most highly exalted examples of filmic camp can articulate moments of self-reflection--or try to, anyway. And what better music to score a man's decision to toss himself into a crematorium oven and stop his transformation into a brain-eating ghoul than the psychedelic misgivings of Roky Erickson's "Burn The Flames"? Scavenging off this initial angst are the Tall Boys with the suicidal romanticism of "Take A Walk" and the quick forays of SSQ into New Wave synth scores--a tasty, bloody dessert to top off this banquet of fresh flesh. --Michael Woodring
