The Humpers' second Epitaph album,
Plastique Valentine, isn't markedly different from either
Journey to the Center of Your Wallet of Postively Sick on 4th Street, but it does deliver a gritty, post-Stooges garage-guitar grind. Though the songwriting is a bit limited -- it's hard to find a hook anywhere on the record -- its gut-wrenching, visceral rush is harder and more punk than most of
the Humpers punk-revivalist conemporaries. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
