the problem with "growing up" is that it's too inmature...and the problem with "making the road" is that it's too mature....."growing up" is still a great album, but it's too crude and it lacks a little shape...and the problem with "making the road" is that it's too experimental(weird songs)...but "angry fist", i'd say, it's perfect and its my favorite album of all time...it's fast, energetic and melodic...it's perfect.this album shoes everything that hi-standard is good at.if you like hi- standard and you have an option...buy it and you will not be disappointed.

Hi-Standard is a very very good punk band from the land of the rising sun. I recomend this CD to anyone who likes punk (pop-punk) music. This band is Fat Wreck Cords best band.

The cd itself is Hi-Standard's best cd, and i think that all of their cds are good. The best songs on this cd are "Spread Your Sail" and "Fighting Fists, Angry Soul". I LOVE THIS CD, SO BUY IT!

This cd is so awsome. Every song is different and great. It is as good as ENEMA OF THE STATE, AND UNWRITTEN LAWS CD BLUE ROOM. The Best song is my sweet dog. I THINK you should definetly get this cd.

I first heard Endless Trip on one of my snowboarding videos and then I went out and bought the cd and I am very pleased. They have their own unique sound and I likes.

I like "Sound of secret mind", "sweet dog", "Fighting spirits", "Sunuhine baby" and etc..... I went to "Air Jam 97, 98" I was so exciting! Next time I do wanna go to "Air Jam 99" Do your best!

These guys are awesome. Ever since I heard California dreaming on Fat Wreck Chords 2nd comp. I was hooked. Great Japanese Punk band!!

Of the three Hi Standard albums currently available, this is the weakest. Which is not to say that it's not enjoyable-- there are a number of good songs, and listeners who are new to the band will get a kick out of it. But it can't compare to the fire and depth of their newer album, "Making the Road," or the poppy high-speed bliss of "Growing Up."

For one thing, interesting verses are routinely followed by silly choruses ("Pathetic Man's Song," "My Heart Feels so Free"). "Secret Minds" is the worst casualty, because it has a very cool chord progression on the verse. There are more covers here than on other albums, and they're not as good (nothing can top "Saturday Night" from their first album, or the single-only "California Dreaming").

In short-- start with "Growing Up," move to "Making the Road" next. If you like those you'll find a lot to like here, but it's probably a record for fans only.
