Goons of Doom - The Story of Dead Barbie & Ghost

Reviewed by lordfundar

The Goons of Doom deserve major plaudits for their choices in naming both their band and their debut album. If only they had invested a fraction of that same creativity into the songs on it. A chaotic, unfinished collection of Pixies-esque pop tunes, grungy garage-rock, and uninspired slacker serenades, all indicate that these Goons are far more interested in playing at being a band than playing as one.
