The Black Lips' fifth studio album, 2009's 200 Million Thousand, continues with their signature ramshackle swagger and sleaze, picking clean bones of garage rock with songs like "Drugs," the Iggy Pop cover "Again & Again," and "Take My Heart." However, attempts at being spooky or serious, like "Trapped in a Basement" and "The Drop I Hold," fall flat and show that the band's strengths lie in their raw sound and catchy melodies, rather than trying to be mature. Ultimately, 200 Million Thousand is a successful album for those looking for cheap thrills and easy kicks.
