Eternally Yours
Having kickstarted punk rock with 1977's seminal(I'm) Stranded, this runty, sardonic Brisbane foursome followed up their debut with an equally testy and snarling collection. This time, however, the Saints added horns to certain tracks, sounding not unlike updatedTeenage Head-era Flamin Groovies. Aside from a couple of morose antilove songs ("Untitled,"" "A Minor Aversion") and an acrid advert for their homeland ("The Hilarious "Orstralia"), much ofEternally Yoursconsists of bilious attacks on consumer society and its myriad lures.--Barney Hoskyns
