Album Review

Wild in the Streets doesn't have the wild, appealingly offensive mixture of crude lyrics and frenetic riffs that made the Circle Jerks' debut, Group Sex, a minor hardcore classic, but there are enough tracks that nearly make the mark -- including a tongue-in-cheek cover of "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" and the title track, which is a version of the theme song to the '60s teen exploitation flick of the same name -- to make it worthwhile for Orange County punk fanatics. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
