 (5 Customer Reviews)
A casual listen to this debut album by the long-running California punkers suggests a band very much of its time, but if you listen carefully you can already hear what ultimately set the group apart from the rest of the hardcore pack. Sure, leader Mike Ness tended to bark out his lyrics rather than sing them, and sure, the rest of the band had learned every move from the Ramones/Pistols/Clash playbook. But even at this stage, the group already had a sense of humor (the title song), a musical palette that went beyond punk (you can hear the early Who here at times, not to mention echoes of the bluesy side of the Stones), and a bit of honest emotion; whether this was a result of Ness's drug dependency demons or not, these songs are never generic punk rants--they're an expression of somebody's actual feelings.
Recorded on December 24, 1982.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Gritty
but what do you expect from a self-produced album from 82? First heard this in 1990, some great punk rock... if you're a huge fan of the "rockabilly" that permeates all the later Social D offerings, this one might throw you for a loop, but its aggressive, raw integrity still stands out after 20+ years. Check it out!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Essential: Social Distortion
I was a Social Distortion fan. I saw them diring the Mommy's Little Monster tour. Social Distortion's first Time-Bomb Recordings album was Mainliner in 1981 but, re-issue in 1995. And Mommy's Little Monster too but, they re-issued it in 1989 on Triple-X. All Time-Bomb recoring albums was Mainliner to Prison Bound. Diring 1989, Social Distortion signed CBS records starting Self-Titled to White Heat White Light White Trash. P.S. thanks for all the information

Mommy's Little Monster CD music
$10.89
A major force in West Coast punk since the early 1980s, Social Distortion became the longest-lasting of their peers, with perhaps only Bad Religion for company. Through a daunting history of ups and downs, drug problems, personnel shifts, and worse, the band soldiered on fearlessly, never sacrificing the righteous fury of their sound. Following a layoff of eight years (during which time singer Mike Ness pursued a solo career), SEX, LOVE AND ROCK 'N' ROLL was the group's first foray into the studio since the death of ...

Mommy's Little Monster music CDs
$13.95
First there was My Red Scare, a spare tangle of obscuro indie folk with Frankie Sparo's voice and guitar as its principal guides. Then there was Arena Hostile, which was like the squelchy HAM radio version of the same album, discovered late at night like a numbers station with heart. In 2003 Sparo combines elements of both records inside Welcome Crummy Mystics, an ambitious work recorded with the aid of fellow Montreal dweller and music crazy Efrim Menuck (Godspeed You Black Emperor!, etc.), as well as a gang of other collaborators. Though their approaches to songwriting are at odds, there's a valid comparison of Sparo and Mystics to Mirah and her striking 2001 effort Advisory Committee. That album found Phil Elvrum accentuating Mirah's music and mood with varying beds and warps of sound manipulation, and Menuck does the same thing for Sparo here. "Sleds to Moderne"'s brittle guitar work and halting vocal would make it a sort of acoustic Flying Saucer Attack, but ...
| | Mason Proffit Movin' Toward Happiness CD (1971)
Mommy's Little Monster songs
$9.69
Based in Chicago, Mason Proffit played a style of country-rock that owed less to the more pop-oriented style of L.A. bands like Poco than it did to the newly bluegrass-happy Grateful Dead of American Beauty and its emerging offshoot, the New Riders of the Purple Sage. Despite the pedal steel guitar, fiddle, banjo, and Dobro, the Talbot brothers, who led the group, were less about a new Nashville than about a fusion of the Old West with hippiedom. They lamented the plight of Native Americans in "Flying Arrow," and while they could pick a mean hoedown on "Old Joe Clark," their version somehow managed to express ...
| | Best Of Lisa Gerrard CD (2007) (Import) United Kingdom
Mommy's Little Monster album
$15.39
Issued in 2007 on the 4AD label, THE BEST OF LISA GERRARD collects many of the finest tracks by the former Dead Can Dance vocalist/multi-instrumentalist. While the compilation includes a few tracks by that revered act, most notably the mystical "Yulunga (Spirit Dance)," a song that showcases Gerrard's striking voice, it primarily focuses on her solo work and film compositions, which both draw from music across the globe. On these pieces, Gerrard often collaborates ...
