Side 2 is all rockers. The album opens with four of Reigning Sound's most vulnerable yearners before breaking out into a rendition of Memphis hometown heroes The Guilloteens \"I Don't Believe.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom this, an almost entirely new album emerges. The band's swagger and bravado remains intact, but the album feels more earnest and open-hearted, like they've put down their guard to really let the listener in, its ravers feeling like shelter from the storm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's no wrong way to listen to Time Bomb High School, but this is its definitive form: a classic that's ready for rediscovery, as vital to the rock canon as the dusty 45s that inspired Reigning Sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn essential part of any decent record collection!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8DNLNv6dt-g?si=u0QbcEuihO3_mU61\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Merge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44433040048170,"sku":"REIGNING SOUND - Time Bomb High School LP","price":51.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1273\/6111\/files\/reigningsound-timebomb.jpg?v=1780897907","url":"https:\/\/www.strangeworldrecords.com.au\/products\/reigning-sound-time-bomb-high-school-lp","provider":"Strangeworld Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
