3 stars This live album was recorded before my favourite CARDIACS studio album "Sing To God" was released unfortunately. And maybe it's just me but live they seem even more insane as they perform for their fans. I mention that because I think I'm getting too old for this style of music. I mean Punk and Country are two styles of music I have a really hard time with. Country because it's so simple and the lyrics, well... and Punk is like getting bashed over the head during every 2 minute song. At least their songs are short, thankyou! CARDIACS are kind of a Progressive Punk band me thinks. Some long songs but yes I felt like I got a beating everytime I listened to this record.

I actually kind of enjoyed "All Spectacular" but man nothing measures up to the closer "Is This The Life". Where did that come from? Catchy guitar melodies, no screaming into the microphone singing as fast as he can. Again thankyou! Check out the guitar around 3 minutes in. So good! And it goes on and on. More please.

3 stars is all I got for this 1995 release.
