I stumbled accross this album in a bargain bin many many years ago. I just thought the cover looked interesting. That was the luickiest grab of my life! This band is so good I could not believe they didn't make it. Well written, pumped up and jumped up rockers with catchy melodies by guys who can play! I soon bought the rest of their albums and none of them disappointed me even though I think this is their crown jewel. I used to use this stuff when I DJ-ed and people went nuts and they didn't know who they were! Some stand out cuts are "Don't Break Me" "Well" and "Regret".

This record is by far their best work. The lyrical content and musicianship is outstanding. This record when it cam out got me through my senior year of high school.

Samiam is one of my favorite bands (see other samiam reviews) and this record is no exception. I love this record as I have every record they put out. It has some of my all-time favorite Samiam songs on it. You better get this one.

Ummm if you buy it you will know I borrowed it from a friend and he never got it back...so I bought him another.

Although the term "emo" brings to mind simpering green-sweatered college boys, Samiam's brand of emotion infused punk does what other pretenders to the "emo" and punk thrones often fail to do: Rock. Sergie's infectious guitar riffs and Jason's gut wrenching vocals bring introspective lyrics alive and in your face. Simply put, Samiam is the greatest non emo, non punk "emo-punk" band in the world, bar none.
