Some thoughts on Social Distortion’s latest, 
Hard Times & Nursery Rhymes:
Mostly sounds like garage rock with some bluesy riffs. Not too many punk chord progressions.
Stand out tracks: Alone & Forsaken (direct and punky), Still Alive (closer, anthemic), Bakersfield (6.5 minute bluesy guitar anthem story)
Some songs go on too long, with half the tracks clocking in over 4 minutes, and 4 songs head over the 5 minute mark.
