Therapy? – Never Apologise Never Explain
Therapy? – Never Apologise Never Explain CD (Metal Mind)
Please refer to my review for ‘High Anxiety’ for basic background information on this reissue. For a sampling of my unabashed love for all things Therapy?, find absolutely any issue of MM or ask me about them next time you see me in your local Taco Bell. As I stated in my review of ‘High Anxiety’, I firmly believe that this pair of albums is the strongest 1-2 punch in the band’s career, and while my tastes lean slightly toward the former, that opinion is not designed to take anything away from the gorgeous sonic fury that is ‘Never Apologise Never Explain’. One listen to a few choice cuts like ‘Rise Up’, ‘Die Like A Motherfucker’, ‘Here Be Monsters’, and ‘Last One To Heaven’s A Loser’ will confirm these seemingly bold statements to anyone with even an entry-level understanding of rock ‘n’ roll. Add tracks like ‘Polar Bear’ and ‘Rock You Monkeys’ and ‘Dead’, and the fate is sealed: you can’t compete with this band or this record, so pawn your guitar and go get a job already. Buy a stack of Therapy? discs for the house, another stack for the car, a spare stack for your girlfriend, and get a lesson in how it’s done. The Impaler
