Fuckin A

In the four days it took to record the new record, The Thermals and producer Chris Walla worked in tandem to create the perfect follow-up to the chaotic pop madness of their 2003 debut, 'More Parts Per Million.' 'Fuckin A' is another twenty-eight minute triumph for The Thermals -- screaming, piercing, as painful and discordant as it is joyous and melodic. Every track is pushed deep into the red, wrapped in a thick sheet of distortion, and served on a tattered blanket of very questionable fidelity. In other words, The Thermals are still The Thermals. They're a little bit older, a lot wiser, a whole lot higher, but still unrelenting in their mission to smash pop music in the face, and to have fun doing it! As NME said, 'Every bit as playground naive as The Ramones, as emotionally all-consumed as The Smiths -- The Thermals are like falling in love, for the first time, all over again.'
