RECORD REVIEWS IN 100 WORDS OR LESS

MAN MAN
Rabbit Habbits
(8.0)*

Wandering band of hobos from Philadelphia put out their tightest record to date, maintaining the old-timey saloon sound, this time with a little less anarchy. While early leaked singles, Hurly / Burly and Top Drawer are fun for a while, the standout tracks are the back to back 7 minute epics that close the album, meshing heartbreak, harmony, and acid and boasting lines like, “I don’t see what every body sees in your sexy body. All I see is a shallow grave trapped inside a pretty face.” Note: They’re not actually hobos. They are actually awesome. Buy this record.

Top Drawer

*New scoring system. A la pitchfork. I'm not original.
