What the Critics Say

If you didn't know for a fact that the Leftovers were formed in Sweden in 1996, you might assume that 667: The Neighbor of the Beast was recorded in the U.S. in the late '70s or early '80s. That's because this loud, snarling, in-your-face CD (which was actually recorded in 2000) recalls the early years of American punk, and the angst-ridden Swedes rock as aggressively as the Dead Boys, the Plasmatics, the Weasels (best known for the infamous "Beat Her With a Rake"), and Black Flag did back in their day. The songs are essentially retro-punk with hard rock leanings; tracks like "Fucked Up Situation," "Gimme Danger," and "13 Needles and a Doll" aren't groundbreaking or innovative by 2000 standards, but what the Leftovers might lack in originality (not to mention subtlety), they more than make up for with raw, gut-level passion. While 667: The Neighbor of the Beast may not be the most experimental or cutting-edge CD in the world, you certainly can't accuse the Leftovers of sounding uninspired or unfocused -- in fact, they tear into the songs with a lot of conviction as well as a lot of anger. Not quite a masterpiece but certainly respectable, this album is easily recommended to die-hard punk fans. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi
