Editorial Reviews

On their fourth album Toronto s Fucked Up pare things back to a single LP. In contrast to the sprawling epic of their last album, the punk rock opera David Comes To Life, the 2014 album returns to rock n roll basics, verse-chorus-verse-chorus. It also features guitar solos, mellotron and piano. Recorded for the first time in analogue, with Bill Skibbe (The Dead Weather, The Kills, Lower Dens, Andre Williams), the album is bathed in a warm, almost romantic glow. In particular, Jonah Falco s virtuosic drumming shines forth, each snare hit shattering the air. Damian Abraham s throaty growl is not less punk, but the overall effect is a more human, relatable Fucked Up. While the imagery still includes the usual high concept references (not least to classical mythology), Abraham and Mike Haliechuk s lyrics mostly address the puzzle of being in a punk rock band while having children and being in their early 30s. "So this is what it d be like? Everything bathed in a harsh bright light? Why is the impact so immense? Maybe I know it could have been me instead. "

    5.0 out of 5 stars I like this as much as their other classic
    Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Of the records of this group that I own, I like this as much as their other classic, HIDDEN WORLD. I could never really get into THE CHEMISTRY OF MODERN LIFE, so don't ask me about this one. And DAVID COMES TO LIFE is good too. Similar to DAVID COMES TO LIFE, this is quite a hard record with a sort-of "wall of sound" kind of sound. But, the songs seem tighter than DAVID COMES TO LIFE, and they stand on their own, individually. "Sun Glass" is quite good, and I really like the lyrics of "Glass Boys."

    The only thing better than this record is seeing the group live! What a treat.

    And yes, in a hardcore record review I called the concert "a treat." I'm not proud.

    Very much what you want. Though not as story-centric as their last album.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Hardcore will never die
    Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2016
    this is a hard hitting follow up to David comes to life.
    on first listen it's not as melodic and accessible as David but it
    comes around on repeated listens.
    the vocals can be intimidating at first,it takes some conditioning for sure.

    I would get DCTL before Glass Boys to ease into F'd Up's world.
    But this album stands well on it's own.
    I think the band did right in putting out a straight forward album like this
    after the excess of an 80 minute punk opera.
    Hardcore is alive and well and apparently lives in Canada.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Just because it's not an 80 minute rock opera doesn't mean it's not pretty d--n good.

    I guess not being on the cover of Spin can reduce your reach, huh? With that being said, no, this is not David Comes to Life. It is a slimmer collection of songs that still retains that progressive hardcore (snarled vocals, swirling guitars) and adds some extra drum tracks to give it an almost psychedelic (I really can't find a suitable word here) feel. An album that seems to ruminate on the themes of getting older i.e. growing up, I find it just as enjoyable as any of FU's more commercially acclaimed releases.

    4.0 out of 5 stars DL Code for Bonus Tracks Has Expired
    Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2017
    Just a fair warning for anyone looking to purchase the limited Japanese version of the CD: the 2 bonus tracks are no longer available - download codes expired in 2015 apparently. Thankfully I got this for about $5 and didn't pay extra for the rare edition (it's now going for close to $30) because the only difference without those tracks appears to be a slipcase, a foldout insert in Japanese and a sticker. Stick with the standard US version as far as the CD goes and save yourself some cash.
