The first noticeable thing about Black Lips' newest album, 200 MILLION THOUSAND, is that it is missing something. It's missing all the stupid antics that made them the idols of every JACKASS-watching teenager. It seems that these guys might have finally calmed the f#!k down and realised nobody actually wants to see them piss into their own mouths and then spit it on the crowd; we only want to read about those things in an album review.
The boys have made the career prudent choice of trading away most of their cocaine for tons of weed and then found their way into a recording studio. While probably not the best album they've done, 200 MILLION THOUSAND is solid and plays through like a Monks record 40 years late. It's 60s rock'n'roll revival as straight as you can get, and the second track 'Drugs' could easily be the soundtrack to that three-minute vintage surfing montage you've been trying to put on YouTube for days.
