The four hundred and fifty-seventh album: #457 The Cramps - Songs the Lord Taught Us

It's always welcome to get something different from an album. The Cramps' mix of punk and rockabilly - quite a modern sound in the day mixed with such a deliberate throwback - is still an interesting mix, even if both genres are quite old now - rockabilly just feels like that much more of a throwback going through this list.

Lyrically, the album is fine, and the strength of its music mostly lies in the moments where it relies on the fusion of genres to create its throwback mood. There's a lot to find in here, but it feels as its best when they most try to do their own thing.
