Overstuffed with the Davids’ punchy guitar lines and fervently chased by their sing-songy
vocal shouts, “Outer Space” with its flat-out fun melody, sets the tone for an album that
perfectly captures the group’s spastic energy and crisp melodicism. Though thoroughly
enjoyable, the other poppy songs here (“Hellzapoppin,” “Hairs”) don’t equal “Outer Space,”
but the group’s range is never limited to that.
At the time, the editors of Spin magazine picked Hellzapoppin as the "#1 album you didn't
hear" in 1992 - and it is easy to hear why.
