Social Distortion- Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes

I am a huge fan of both Social Distortion and creator Mike Ness's solo work, so I was really excited about listening to the new album Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes. Mike Ness still delivers the same strong, gritty, soulful vocals that Social Distortion fans have come to love. Every song is well produced and the opening track is made awesome by fun guitar work. Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes has one of the best '90s sounds I've heard this decade. There are a few really great tracks on this album but as a whole it gets a little repetitive and boring. I would say that if you are a Social D fan this is still a must listen too, but for the rest of the world this is an album that falls easily to the back of the line.
