This was a pretty good cd. I have to say though, it wasnt as good as their previous CD, because the lyrics weren't nearly as deep (although they did have a few serious songs on this album, it was more just funny and messing around). This definately was their last REALLY good album though....after Conrad left, they lost alot of their musical talent as he was pretty much their main music writer and lyric writer. Notice they did a cover CD after he left because they weren't all that good of songwriters wihtout him. ANYWAYS, this is a good, happy, fun punk CD, and Ghoti Hook is a great band....even in their later CDs.

Unlike some other CD's this one is upbeat and just crazy the entire time through instead of just the first few songs. Unlike some other bands in their genre, Ghoti Hook focuses on positive ideas and isn't depressing or anything like that. While their music doesn't say "God" everyother word, they do mention God and their churches and such in the thanks section and you definately sense their spirtuality in their lyrics.

In Ghoti Hook's sophomore release they put out another zany, energy filled, Punk Rock funfest. Granted, this is not their best work, but it is still very fun to listen to. Another thing, I know Ghoti Hook's lyrics are anything but serious, but that is part of thier style that I like so much. If they were to turn into another serious Punk band I would be angry. I mean there are tons awesome serious Punk bands out there that I love. But Ghoti Hook's uniquely hilarious style of music has it's place in the industry. I mean, think about it....is there any other band like Ghoti Hook? Simply answered, no there isn't.

Great punk music. Sounds kewl. Thats Combat Chuck on the cover. (See the Five Iron Frenzy track on the Upbeats And Beatdowns album).

The best bands are Five Iron Frenzy, The W's, MxPx, Squad Five-o, and the Insyderz.

This is one of those basic albums that has nothing real intricate or impressive but is fun to listen to. The lyrics are shallow, but they are supposed to be that way. You should buy this cd, but don't expect anything great musically.

its good music, but the lyrics and the way they sing is annoying. I also dont understand all these "the box" songs that they put in there, and why they have that spanish thing for track 10

This album was very enjoyable...but like I've said...they're better live! I met Christian, the bass player, at one of their concerts and he was so cool! I know that this isn't their best stuff, but once I got to listening to it more...the more I liked it. You've got to pick up this album, if not for hear the music, to see Combat Chuck dressed as "Banana Man". Combat Chuck rocks!

This cd is good if you are a biker and i have seen the video dead sailor you know it has there song in it.

If you like punk, and punk with a message this is the album for you

My friend loaned me this album and I loved it! If you liked Quantity is Job 1 by Five Iron Frenzy and don't mind a little heavier beat, buy this one!
