Each song on this 30-track career retrospective of the Billy Childish-led Milkshakes is tough as nails. The guitars are loud, the drums are loud and the vocals are just this side of howling. Songs like "It's You" and "Seven Days" come ripping out of your speakers like heat lightning and even the rare ballad sounds angry.
