    This album is unique as it features their early punk stylings but also shows The Hellflowers ability to not beholden to any one genre. It opens with an atmospheric surf song “Vamonos” that sets the mood for the oncoming rock n roll anthem “Little Boogie”. “Music’s My Love” is up next, a love song that gets stuck in your head from the first beat. A couple upgrades from EP’s past with “Running Through The Fog” and the fiery “String” all about a woman's independence. “I Cried” is an unreleased break up song, followed by the desperate punk banger “Fucked Up Nation” all about the hopelessness that is our current state. On “Control” Alex Mack tries his hand at being lead singer, followed by their take on the Devo classic “Girl You Want”. Finishing off the journey with an alt country vibe is “Way Out West”.

lyrics

It’s so unreal how you disappear from the fires you set in my name
And now it’s commonplace while the embers burn for the ashes to cover the pain
Because you come to blame all that lies in wait on the wounds you couldn’t conceal
Another revelation down the drain running from what the light had revealed

Why can’t you control this anymore
Why can’t you control this anymore
Why can’t you control yourself anymore

Why can’t you control this anymore
Why can’t you control this anymore
Why can’t you control yourself anymore


Despite yourself you’re alone out here far away from the worthy to save
Cause it stings like mace from a toxic place where the wired and wicked remain
Everyone gets paid while the conflicts rage ike the starving devour a meal
Just a fly in the ointment basically hiding form what the time should have healed

Why can’t you control this anymore
Why can’t you control this anymore
Why can’t you control yourself anymore

Why can’t you control this anymore
Why can’t you control this anymore
Why can’t you control yourself anymore

It’s so unreal how you disappear from the fires you set in my name
And now it’s commonplace while the embers burn for the ashes to cover the pain
Because you come to blame all that lies in wait on the wounds you couldn’t conceal
Another revelation down the drain running from what the light had revealed

Why can’t you control this anymore
Why can’t you control this anymore
Why can’t you control yourself anymore

Why can’t you control this anymore
Why can’t you control this anymore
Why can’t you control yourself anymore
