Sometimes it’s hard to remember through Diarrhea Planet’s stage antics that they’ve got the skills. There’s nothing like a live show, with flying objects, usually beer cans and water bottles, rocketing through the air like the Fourth of July, stage diving in groups, and various forms of friendly assault. On Sept. 20, Diarrhea Planet share their jewels with the world, and thank the punk rock gods for that.

The teaser “Warm Ridin’” foreshadowed the glory of Loose Jewels, and the rest of the record delivers. And it’s not sloppy, either – just beautifully obnoxious and loud. There are sonic similarities to an endless stretch of punk aficionados, cigarette requests (“Cigarettes”), forgiveness for over-tanning (“Orange Girls”), crushing bass and guitar bowling over anything in its path, contrastingly sparkly, wiry guitar melodies and guttural growls that sound like dry heaves.

There’s not a disappointing track on here – disappointing as in it fails to revive your party/drinking mood, rock you or otherwise get you off. What else is to be expected from a record that opens with the Diarrhea Planet manifesto and ends with “There’s so much fucking shit to deal with/and I quit/so give me another beer/we’re gonna drink until the sun comes up/or at least til there’s no beer/and I believe god will find us/and forgive us for these stupid things.” Long live Diarrhea Planet and everyone they know. – Jessica Pace
