Stairway to Hell, Ugly Kid Joe’s reunion EP, wasn’t scheduled to be released until June 5… but the band decided to release it a week early for whatever reason, so it’s actually out now. You can purchase a legal download here or stream it below.
I’ve listened to it and it’s… well, it’s not bad. It’s not great, though. It’s certainly a million times better than 1996?s Motel California, which was the band’s last official release — but it’s not nearly as much fun as either America’s Least Wanted or Menace to Sobriety, which remains the band’s high points. I’m still waiting for that feel-good album which I’m gonna rock all summer long… I don’t think this is it.
