Direct Hit – Wasted Mind – Review

Wasted Mind
Fat Wreck Chords
8/10

I can’t help loving this. Sure, it’s the age-old Fat Wreck skate-punk formula of  snotty vocals, back up oohs and aahs, and well, everything else mentioned in NOFX’s Please Play This Song On The Radio, but that’s everything I love about it. I want to be taken back to playing Tony Hawk on a PS1 (with every cheat code you can think of). I want to be reminded of one of the first mosh pits I’ve ever been in (shout out to Warped Tour 2001 in a fucking parking lot in Chula Vista!). I want to be reminded of realizing I’m old by throwing my back out in a pit (shout out to Teenage Bottlerocket at Riot Fest 2009!). And I most certainly want to know that there are still kids with a fucking fire inside them pounding the drums as hard as they can while they scream their goddamned lungs out about nothing at all and everything at once.
