    Masterful punk rock from an angry Memphis kid who just couldn't -or didn't want to- get happy or comfortable with his surroundings. Reatard tears though these tracks with audacity that would remain through his solo albums and work with Lost Sounds.

    For Jay Reatard's followers, this is a great chance to look back in the past and discover where his music started and, with the benefit of hindsight, see how it evolved. It may not win over any new fans, but the ones who followed Reatard's career should be pleased with Teenage Hate/Fuck Elvis, Here's the Reatards.
