The clowny Electric Six might headline this savage punk outing but it's Living Things that'll get you to JB's early. Lyricist/singer Lillian Berlin — inspired by the wily beat writings of Kerouac and Jim Carroll — and the rest of the Berlin family were showing off their brand of American rage before Green Day got ripe. But with Habeas Corpus (Jive) they've expanded their buzz-bombing power-garage roar with creepy sizzles of atmospheric synths and a pack of swell slower songs to boot.
