The Funhouse - The Punks are all right


I originally came in here to discuss what the difference between some hardcore and metal is, like I get the cadence of the vocals here is hardcore most of the time, but most of the music is more akin to metal to me and that’s still a topic I wouldn’t mind exploring, but then for help in that, I read the Stereogum review which is how I came to listen to it in the first place and now I recommend both reading that and listening to the album.

I really enjoyed this album a lot. I find I have a hard time with a lot of Hardcore, but between this and Zulu I've learned that, apparently, I enjoy powerviolence.

Man, I really love this debut New York Dolls album. Are the rest of their albums any good? Should I just follow that rabbit hole chronologically or is there one I should head to next?

Too Much Too Soon is good as well, but it’s hard to beat the debut. I wasn’t super fond of the stuff they did when they reuinited, so imho you can skip the post-2006 stuff.
