There isn’t a lot you can say about punk rock which hasn’t already been said a million times before since the days of The Ramones. It remains one of the only forms of music which has come so far yet maintained the basic essentials which made it so popular in the first place. Punk is all about thrashing out straightforward chord progressions in the fastest way possible; put simply. Time Again duly oblige and these fourteen songs on their second album clock in at just over thirty-two minutes.
Don’t be deceived by the whole pop-punk movement, Time Again are in there with the likes of Rancid, Sick of it All and so on, for the type of punk they create. You get the impression from listening that to see Time Again live would be to witness one hell of a punk show. The differences from song to song are subtle, as with any good punk album; everything goes into each other nicely. The Descendents spring to mind in comparison at times, ‘Lookin’ Back’ starts off with a very Descendents-esque guitar line which prevails throughout the song.
Time Again have mastered the melody in the choruses, that’s probably what sets them aside from a lot of up and coming punk bands. It’s hard to pick any other songs to stand out on this album, everything is one of the same to a certain extent and listening to the whole album is a pleasure in itself, you won’t find yourself picking one song over all the rest; at least not straight away. The album doesn’t really hit you with anything new throughout, it doesn’t aspire to be anything greater, this is simply a good punk-rock album. If you like punk, then definitely check this out, if you’re not really into your punk music then you’re most likely going to dislike this.
