This pop-punk relic isn't bad, but as the best of these songs -- "Why Pick on Me," "Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White," "Mainline" -- have been issued on whatever best-of
Standells compilation you might pick up, its appeal is more for big fans. Of the more obscure tracks, "Black Hearted Woman" is a decent slow, menacing number, "Mr. Nobody" a decent punky cut, and "The Girl and the Moon" one of their best pop-oriented compositions. This CD reissue adds five tracks that were previously unissued in the U.S., which are okay but nothing too special. ~ Richie Unterberger
