I never had much time for The Vaccines. U thought they stripped what was magical about the Rock & Roll formula. But not in an inspiring way like the Ramones approach back on 1976. I found the Vaccines reductive and faddish by comparison.
I'm very taken by Halloweens Opera Singing at The Salsa Bar by comparison. It's a Vaccines offshoot from Justin Hawkins and Timothy Lanham and I find it much more diverting and alluring than most Vaccines albums.
It's a bright, inventive theatrical exercise that's really good company for its eleven minute thirty five minute run Hawkins channels his talents wonderfully here. A sparkling, dreaming amd tpiching record.
