I didn't know which album to chose from Screeching Weasel; their albums are all dynamite, but "Wiggle" goes above and beyond even their first release "My Brain Hurts". "I'm not in Love" is one of the more unique tracks, becuase it is about dandruff shampoo, and it is written in a choppy chorus that repeats "I'm not in love -love-love", then really kicks in between. Their are too many awesome tunes to mention them all "Automatic Rejector", or "Teenage Psycopath" are my favorites, becuase of the speed and aggression in each, plus the guitar is unique.
A cool thing about Lookout records bands are how close they seem to be to each other. F**k the World which was on the Queers album, is also on Wiggle, because the lead singers wrote it together. I find that these bands seem to write more songs about their friends. The title of one track "Jeannie's got a Problem with Her Uterus" tells all you need to know about the tune, and you get the feeling that the band really cares for their friend.
Screeching Weasel has always been experimental, and it might take a second listen to get into this album, but once you get it you are in for a treat with Screeching Weasel's Wiggle.
