After a 25-year hiatus, Stray Cats' comeback album is titled 40, celebrating the 40 years from the band's debut. This release is my introduction to this three-piece band (guitar-double bass-drums) and from the initial listening, it is clear that Stray Cats are not here to break new ground in music. Their formula is comprehensible and simplistic. Whether it's the rock n rollers "Rock It Off", "I've Got Love If You Want It", the surf rocker "I Attract Trouble" or the Spaghetti instrumental "Desperado", [?]40[/i] exhibits rockability in all its simplistic and relative forms.
