Black Lungs have released their third effort, this being their second full length. They have titled it "Pagan Holiday." This is one for those who are more into the punk side of Black Lungs, He went a lot harder and faster on this release. This album has a similar style to that of bands like Black Flag or Dead Kennedy's so if you are into those bands, you could really like this album. They have done a pretty decent job on this album though. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded fairly decently. The instrumentation is not something that will blow you away, it is a lot of fast playing. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the singer has a somewhat raspy voice that is just a little hard to put punk music with that voice, but he does sing well and is really clear with the singing. With the lyrics, they have a very punk feel to them and the messages in the lyrics are about violence, standing together and struggles of life. These are very punk topics, so they will be received by fans well. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel. We suggest "Stay Out Of Parkdale." Black Lungs have made an album here that really works nicely. It is a shift from the previous album, but we think this is more along the style they wanted to play anyways so it is good to get to that. Hopefully we can see more in the future. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
