Our Take

Ah, the Israeli punk rockers USELESS ID are back with their latest offering, "Bad Story / Happy Ending." Let's dive in and see if this album is a real page-turner or if it falls flat like a rejected manuscript.

From the get-go, it's clear that these guys have a knack for crafting catchy, anthemic punk rock tunes that stick with you like a catchy chorus. The album kicks off with the roaring opener "Same Old Revolution," setting the tone for the relentless energy that follows.

Tracks like "Land of Idiocracy" and "Insomnia" showcase the band's ability to blend razor-sharp riffs with insightful lyrics that cut through the noise. It's like the Ramones went to a poetry slam and came back with a whole new perspective on life.

But it's not all doom and gloom on "Bad Story / Happy Ending." Songs like "Room of Anger" and "Mitsubishi" inject a healthy dose of humour and self-deprecation into the mix, proving that punk rock can be both introspective and fun at the same time.

Overall, USELESS ID have delivered a solid addition to their discography with "Bad Story / Happy Ending." It may not rewrite the punk rock rulebook, but it's a damn good read for fans of the genre. So grab a copy, crank up the volume, and let these Israeli punks take you on a wild ride through their twisted world. Cheers, mates.
