This album is amazing. Some of the songs have the aggression of Josh Scogin's previous bands, but it plays in some genres and sounds which are new to Scogin's recorded work. Definitely a stand-out. I'm biased because I'm a huge fan of Scogin's other work, but this album kicks some serious ass.

Josh Scogin brings back some of his stellar vocals we remember from The Chariot days, only now applying it to '68's extremely abrasive brand of rock and roll. Noisy, wild and erratic, with some bluesy and sometimes even anthemic elements thrown in to great effect. The guitar work is compelling and powerful to say the least, the drums are frenetic and explosive, and the marriage of these two elements work to create some loud rock songs that are full of plenty of awesomely memorable moments. Long Live '68

There are some really killer tracks, and Josh is shockingly good at signing as well as his harsh vocals, but the album feels a bit disjointed and just doesn't hit like I hoped it would. It's still a great album, but it needs some work.
Also the song titles are kind of dumb.
EDIT: And just like with The Chariot, a lot of this works better in a live setting.

This is essentially a less heavy The Chariot. Which is totally fine with me. I love everything Scogin has ever done. As sad as it is that The Chariot is not around anymore, I am glad he's still making music.

When its on point, its definitely on point, but there are, I think, noticeable parts in between the songs where I feel like I?m waiting around much longer than needed for the next distorted howl and scream and cacophonous sound, and while this is part of the charm of the Scogin-based bands I find myself bored with this formula but also comfortable at the same time knowing that while his music has matured to some effect, he?s still doing what he is good at, and it will pull you in if you let it.
