The Men - Think 7'' (Karmic Swamp, 2011)

The Men
Think 7''

Rating: 7.5 possum tracks out of 10

Yeah, this seven inch by the Men  is a couple of years old but I just got around to listening to it.  Get off my case about it, I've been busy.  Side A, "Think," is one of their typical blistering noise punk tracks, good but not grand.  The joy is in Side B, a cover of Devo's "Gates of Steel" - the greatest Devo song of all time.  Don't argue with me, it's a fact.  They very much own the song, recording a lo-fi punk banger that sounds as if Robert Pollard had a hand in producing it.  Best of all - the band is offering it up for free here.  Got it right from their website, no guilt necessary.  In fact they have a lot of their older out-of-print releases on mediafire free to us fans.  You gotta love a band looking out for us little people.
