Social Distortion
Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes (Double Vinyl With Bonus CD Of Album)
Epitaph 871192
Released on January 18, 2011
|
Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes builds on singer Mike Ness’
twin footings, one in the haunted American landscapes of Hank
Williams and the other in the raw swagger of Exile-era Rolling
Stones. While these twin pillars have always been behind Social
Distortion’s anthemic songs, on Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes
they come roaring to the fore, in one of the hardest rocking,
most soulful albums of Ness’ career. From opener “California
(Hustle and Flow),” a song with enough attitude to redline a ’40
Merc, to the dark rockin’ cover of Hank William’s “Alone and
Forsaken,” longtime fans will find the trademark punk roar they
love. New fans, too, will be drawn to Ness’ maturing
songwriting and vocals – Ness produced Hard Times and
Nursery Rhymes (his first time at the production helm) with an
eye to his rock and roll legacy, and it’s not hard to imagine fans
of Springsteen or Petty rocking out to these timeless songs.

| Primarily as a fan of the "White Light, White Heat, White Trash" era of Social D it definitely took me quite a few listens to get into this one. But after a while i started to really like it. There are some songs that just plain suck and that i skip every time. But for the majority its pretty good.
Some people don't like it but honestly, why would Ness want to put out the same exact thing as the last record? you have to progress and evolve in some way from record to record and that's exactly what he did. Personally highlights of this are "Gimme the sweet and lowdown" "Far Side Of Nowhere" "Alone & forsaken" "Still alive".
If you're a social D fan definitely check it out. If you're not a punk or social D fan you still can probably get into this because there's a lot of general rock sound (in the track i always skip) |
