The second re-group of Screeching Weasel comes across more as a bunch of studio musicians wanting to make a buck rather than a bunch of kids getting together for the sheer enjoyment of writing and recording anthems for the angst filled generation. Not saying that Screeching Weasel are a bunch of has-beens, it's just that Ben Weasel and company give off that "screw the kids, where's our check" attitude. "Television City Dream" is definitely a lot better than their last album "Bark Like A Dog, " but that's really not saying all that much. The songs are a lot faster and to the point making it comparable to a more serious "Boggada Boggada Boggada, " and there's even a tribute to the Vindictives with their cover of "Pervert at Large." But aside from that, "Television City Dream" falls under the "heard one Screeching Weasel album, heard 'em all" category. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide [-] Collapse
