Punk-rock songs never made it past three minutes, a fact that seems to have been forgotten by the revivalists in Cali quartet Lit. The title track from their major-label debut can be charitably described as second-generation Social Distortion. Lit's lack of originality wouldn't be so bad for two and a half minutes, but these guys just don't know when to quit. Singer A. Jay Popoff has got a good voice, and the band, at least, sounds impressed with what it's doing. But this kind of testosterone-soaked alt-rock is just '80s hair metal wearing a different costume. Frankly, I prefer Warrant -- at least they were honest about their cheesiness. (This review refers to the studio version)

Hard hard harder than you might have hoped -- all the same poppy harsh vocals, but gritty hard!
