| I have the one called something like "The Songs, The Sound and ...."
As I remember, it was OK but was so all over the place musically that it seemed sort of incoherent. Maybe they've improved?
I will say they definitely are different.

But they are all over the place, which is part of their charm. They go from playing balls-out heavy metal to pop punk. Sometimes within the same song. It's fantastic.
How can you not love that?
Anyway, I downloaded the new album. Who knows when I find it around here. Though, surprisingly, I did just find the latest by The Coral. So we'll see. The new one has a wicked heavy tune, and then another with almost death metal vocals. It's nuts. Killer stuff, though._________________ "Happy people have no stories" —Therapy?

| I have yet to purchase an album from these guys, but I've liked the few songs I've heard. *sigh* Someday.

| I decided to buy into these guys- I like what I see. It's funny, even though the bulk of my collection could be described as "Rock & Roll with heavy (if not metal) guitars", but I can't think of anyone that has taken quite this approach before. It seems to work though. |

They definitely have a unique sound. Some of the more straightforward punky songs lose a bit of their identity, but that's somewhat expected. It's punk! But they're definitely pretty original. _________________ "Happy people have no stories" —Therapy? Shock Totem | The Eyesore Times | Getcha Rocks Off |
