Smoking Popes - Born To Quit
Review by Dicky Syaputra
Born To Quit is an album that captures the essence of the Smoking Popes' unique sound. The album, released in 1994, features a collection of catchy and melodic tracks that showcase the band's distinctive blend of punk rock and pop.
From the opening chords of "Need You Around" to the closing notes of "My Lucky Day," the album is a tour de force of infectious hooks and sing-along choruses. The lyrics, which explore themes of love, loss, and longing, are delivered with a raw and emotive intensity that is both captivating and relatable.
The standout tracks on the album include "Rubella," a driving punk rock anthem with a soaring chorus, and "Let's Hear It for Love," a poignant ballad that showcases the band's softer side. Other highlights include "Megan," a catchy pop-punk track with a memorable guitar riff, and "Stars," a reflective and introspective song that showcases the band's songwriting prowess.
