Black Lips: Good Bad Not EvilVice: 9/11/2007
I have always had a soft spot for gallows humor. For this reason alone, Good Bad Not Evil has earned its place in my 2007 recommendations. In "O Katrina!", they admonish the infamous hurricane of the same name, "Why you gotta be so mean?" as if it were a sadistic woman. Some might think this in bad taste and they might be right. But who can fault them when the music is this good? Good Bad Not Evil is full of classic-styled rock music reminiscent of The Velvet Underground, Modern Lovers and rockabilly. Every track, even those not based on a sick joke, is catchy and could be a single. One can forgive the occasional indiscretion with such a great album.
