a great record Those albums weren't better, they were just different. TELEVISION CITY DREAM is one of Screeching Weasel's later records, and most fans will tell you that the earlier albums were much better. TELEVISION CITY DREAM is just as great as those albums, but has more fast, punky songs. And trust me, those songs (e. g. "Count To Three", "We Are Generation X") are great. But there are also some slower, more pop-punk songs on the album as well -- check out "Outside Of You" and the finale, "Burn Down. " For this reason, TELEVISION CITY DREAM is perhaps Screeching Weasel's most varied album, and a must-buy for any punk fan. On the downside, for some reason the sound mix leaves out the bottom of the bass, so you'll have to crank up the bass when you listen. Best Weasel album in my collection I love all of SW's albums, but this one is definitely my favorite. I've owned this album for many years now, and it still bites just as hard as the day it was released. I love the faster punk, and Television City Dream delivers it in spades. Songs like 'Count to three', 'Plastic Bag', 'Only A Test', and 'Pervert At Large' still, after nearly ten years, get my blood pumping, and make me want to throw myself in the air. Great record, classic, get it!. Anthem For An Old Screeching Weasel It does grow on you after a while, but it seems like they've lost the edge that made them so awesome back in the good ol' days (like when Anthem was released). I'm a huge SW fan, but this album really let me down. The tracks almost seem stale, and they sound way too Fat for my liking. I miss the old Screeching Weasel Although it wasn't necasarilly a bad change, I still can't help but miss the old SW. Change the lineup, you'll change the sound. Granted, this does has it's share of good tunes, it just isn't what I remember them being. Don't get me wrong, although differnt, a great album nonetheless. I'm just prefer their older stuff more. If you're a Screeching Weasel fan, get it. If you're new to the band, start with Boogada Boogada Boogada. Screeching Weasel adopts a FAT records sound But it isnt like their best stuff (Anthem For A New Tomorrow, for example). Dont get me wrong, theres some decent stuff on this CD. It is definiutley a CD with a distinct FAT-wreck chords sound to it. THey can do better. You can see a complete list of all Screeching Weasel discography, or go back to the Screeching Weasel tabs
