Well how about that, a three track single that lasts
as long as most
other songs on their own. That's right, just over
three minutes to cram
these bad boys in.
Starting with the single “He's A Rocker,”
you're instantly saddened. Not
that the Vines have let you down, four albums
into their career which
started with a bang and slipped away ever since;
but that this song is
only lasting for two minutes. It's bloody fantastic.
Melodic, catchy,
and oh lord that bass is a bit funky. It's songs
like this make me
realise why I listened to the Vines in the first
place. But it's still
too short. If I'd written this I'd milk it for
all it was worth and turn
it into a four part epic spanning a double CD.
The next track “Hey Now” is considerably
different, possibly inspired by
mindless violence given the angry tone, and good
old punk vibe. I'm not
a fan, it's over before you can say “I wonder
what's next.” It's time
for “Blue Jam,” which is Vine-ish
for “a minute of noise.” It's the
kind
of thing I'd have if I was a massive Vines fan,
but as a general music
listener who likes songs they've done, I'm not
really interested, and I
feel that these two other tracks really detract
away from the excellence
of the single itself. Always a shame, but regardless,
“He's A Rocker” is
giving me a stiffy.
5/5
