Going into The Thermals I expected a non-stop whirlwind of fist-pumping power-punk songs which the Portland trio definitely delivered but what I did not expect was a slew of 90’s cover songs ranging from Nirvana’s “Sappy” to Sonic Youth’s “100%” to the classic Green Day anthem, “Basket Case”.
A few years ago, if Pitchfork had given an album a 9.2 rating, I’d be all over it in no time. I wouldn’t necessarily like it, but a high score at least meant it was worth trying.
