Diarrhea Planet

Loose Jewels

Infinity Cat Recordings

Sept. 20, 2011

Generally speaking, when I’m critically listening to a record, I’m running through a mental checklist of things to look out for: fitting production value, clever arrangements, whether or not the words “crazy” and “lazy” are rhymed anywhere within the album. You know. The ushe. (Is this how you spell the short version of “usual”? I have no idea!)

All of that went straight out the window when I put Loose Jewels, the debut LP from Diarrhea Planet, into my stereo. As far as I’m concerned, there’s exactly one thing that I want out of the long-awaited full-length by the local kings of party-punk guitarmageddon: a record that sounds like a Diarrhea Planet show. The muscle I pulled in my shoulder pumping my fist to “Your Head” in my car can pretty definitively answer that question for you.
