The seller does a good job of summing up Mental with that one line. Seriously. Everything about Mental was designed for fun. Lots of great mosh, good stage dives, and obviously, at least in the beginning, some goofy lyrics. But you know what, it worked. Not only did it work, but inspired legions of bands after them. Without Mental, we’d probably be forced to listen to 600 American Nightmare clones. No disrespect to AN because they did it right. But AN clones … I can do without those. We can probably also blame the Mental Crew for lots of terrible moshing now. These dudes brought back a style that probably hadn’t been seen since Belushi was alive … Think about that. Shout out to Jaybil on a great design.
