At the base of Reigning Sound's songwriting team is Greg Cartwright, and as this band's career in garage rock has proven, the guitarist's ear for melody is quite wonderful. However, it's Time Bomb High School's circular revolving lyrical schemes of Cartwright's 'girl' that seriously hamper the album's effect. All of these songs more or less amount to the same pursuit of a girl, fifteen cuts, and save some nice, dirty guitar solos here and there, instrumentally Reigning Sound are lacking that extra -umph.
