The Standells' final studio album is a mixed effort, despite the outstanding title track. The early Pink Floyd-like &All Fall Down,& &Barracuda,& and especially &Riot on Sunset Strip& are top-notch pop-punk, but the record is weighed down by some ill-chosen soul covers and some weak pop material. The CD reissue adds five rare but unremarkable bonus tracks, including outtakes and a non-LP single.
