 "Blackcocks is part of the so-so works, that’s clear. With an aggravating factor: it has a tease-like soul. It shows it to you but doesn’t give it to you."

 "Downtown: it can only be described by its sadness, its purulence, the auditory leprosy it evokes."

The review criticizes Strung Out's 'Blackhawks Over Los Angeles' as a significant letdown, especially after the promising single 'Calling.' The album is seen as repetitive, lacking creativity, and struggling with uninspired lyrics and vocals. Some tracks maintain quality, but overall, the album fails to meet expectations set by earlier works. The reviewer highlights dissatisfaction with specific songs and the band's inability to evolve positively. Dive into the full review to discover why 'Blackhawks Over Los Angeles' missed the mark and listen for yourself to form your own opinion.

 Jello Biafra would never confuse hardcore with sexdrugandrocknroll: he would do worse things, like dragging a decades-long civil dispute over unpaid royalties or founding a band where his word is law, but he would never sell out his legend to fatten the barn.

 The latest album from our guy (and his puppet band) is a nice reminiscence suspended between rock’n’roll, dissonances like Plastic Surgery Disasters, and epilepsies a la East Bay Ray.

 Strun(g)z are everything and its opposite, and this is perhaps their most representative album, for better or worse.

 The start is breathtaking: the cameo of Elle Fitzgerald is instantly obliterated by the syncopated groove of 'Analog,' molten lead where sentimentalism flounders in the sixteenth-note neuroses of the most caustic Rob Ramos.

Strung Out’s 2004 album 'Exile In Oblivion' showcases a bold attempt to evolve their punk rock sound beyond pop-punk origins, mixing thrash and post-hardcore elements.

The second half suffers from uneven arrangements and some uninspired ballads, yet the band's willingness to take risks and blend influences remains commendable.

 Emphatic and superfluous, but full of nostalgia. Go on, you are forgiven.
