remastered version with bonus track. sophomore album from the norwegian rockers led by former gluecifer member captain poon. while the norwegian group's eponymous first album had a distinctly garage-rock / punk sound kind of like backyard babies, this release, 'simple pleasures', edges more into a speed metal / hard rock territory, not unlike the cheeky fun of fellow country-mates turbonegro, especially with the song 'city of the dead.' the chorus, with its back-up harmonizing and dismissive refrain of "hey sucker, kiss yer ass good-bye," is a dead-ringer for the party-boy band, yet still really in tune with what bloodlights is; guitars with attitude and simple-yet-awesomely catchy melodies. 'off the track' edges into motorhead territory, with its speed and dueling guitars while 'just one more' has a boogie rock-ness that's kind of a throwback to '70s blues and rock n' roll but without being a complete thin lizzy rip-off.
