Eternally Yours

On Eternally Yours, The Saints were careful enough to avoid the dogged sameness that cursed so much punk, while staying true to the core of their music, where the amped-up noise of MC5 and The Stooges met the physicality of great R&B. They’re augmented here by a brass section, which gives the riffs in “Know Your Product” extra oomph; elsewhere, “This Perfect Day” is amplified everyday insouciance, where songs like “Orstalia” mix canny social commentary with febrile energy.
