4.75 Out of 5


Highlights:
That’s Life
Poor Boy
Street of Painted Lips


I’ll be honest, when I saw the name Plan 9 I actually didn’t think of Ed Wood. I thought it would be punk. Plan 9 has a punk sounding name to me. I was not expecting 60s psychedelic revival garage rock. 
Nor was I expecting to be this excellent. 
A Rhode Island band that seems to still be making music and playing in that area I don’t know much about them. 
Except that this album is excellent all the way through.
The 7 minute Crampslike odyssey that is “Street of Painted Lips” brought me joy. 
I wish it was better produced because I couldn’t get it to full desired volume. 
Other than that, this thing was a blast.
