The quality falls off after the first three songs on the Redwalls' new self-titled release, but boy are those
first three some real doozies. "Hangman" is the song the Stooges should
have written and recorded for The
Weirdness. "Modern Diet" and "Summer Romance" are like early to
mid '70s Bowie, glam with a bit of blue-eyed soul inflection, the later
with the sentimental but urgent refrain, "Please don't let me hear you
say good-bye." Nothing stands out as much on the rest of the album, but
it plays like the Strokes with an affection for Mott the Hoople.
