FEAR
American Beer (Hall of Records)
Reviewed by Holly Day

---

You know, I love this because I love FEAR, and I hate it because I love FEAR. Frontman Lee Ving's rapier-sharp, lowest-common-denominator sense of humor is almost present on this, but instead of using it to attack social conventions and dearly-loved holidays like he did in the old days of the band, he's instead extolling the virtues of Budweiser beer and his penis. There's even some sappy songs about lost love - hey, where's the Lee Ving who once shouted, "I don't care about you/Fuck You!"? I know I'm getting old, but it never hits harder than when I get stuff like this to review.
