I picked this CD up on the strength of the cover alone (being from Australia, I had never heard of this Canadian band). Stuck in in my CD player, and it stayed there for a month and a half. Chixdiggit plays some of the finest, funniest pop/punk EVER - short, sharp, insanely catchy songs. Every single song on this CD is a beauty. Was lucky enough to see these guys live when they toured Australia - easily the best gig I'd seen all year. Only a small crowd, but they guys gave their all. A bunch of damn fine musicians who deserve your support. Buy their CD. Now.

This CD isnt a thinker. it wont make you cry. What it will do though is make you play it nonstop over and over, cranking it up and singing along.

Its probably the best CD ive bought this year, and i buy a lot. These Calgarians are even better in real life, their concerts being an explosion of atmosphere and pure effort to entertain, unlike many of the bands out there today ( hello Oasis ).

If your not into music for the pure enjoyment of it, then dont but this cd. but if you love music for what it truly is, a joy of the senses, then walk, no RUN, to a store and pick this puppy up.

Chixdiggit is by far one of the best bands I have ever heard. To steal the words of brother, "chixdiggit is the band that blink 182 wishes they could be." Enough said. I had the good fortune to see these guys on tour about 8 years ago and they are the best show I have ever seen.

Chixdiggit! really write some fantastic songs. Never have I heard any punk this catchy. They sound somewhere between the Descendents and the Ramones, but without the anger. Its just catchy song after catchy song with no point other than to lift your spirits and get you to enjoy life a little more.

It takes a real gift to pen hooks like this. Whats amazing is that they've done 4 albums worth of songs just as hooky.

If you don't like pop-punk, this probably won't convert you, but if you DO like the style, Chixdiggit! is one of the best pop punk bands out there.

Alright.. not only can KJ JANSEN WRITE A SONG ABOUT ANY THING>>>>> :) CHixdiGGIt still hold down the best punk rock release for 1998 w/ "Born on the First of July". If you liked their first record, you'll LUV the second. visit "CHIXDIGGIT.COM" for the latest chix infoo, pictures, tourdates & order their newest CD@ :) i luv you guyssssss.== julie ;)

Dont have it yet? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? This cd is awesome, a great follow up to their first cd, "Chixdiggit". GO GET THIS ONE and you'll love it as well. Oh and if you haven't seen them live, you are missing out. I saw them in California and they were tons of fun! I recommend this one, and the first one as well. While listening to it, be sure to play it all the way to the end and wait...for a hidden SURPRISE. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

I was wandering around the left of the dial and heard "Chupacabra" and liked it so much I had to seek out this album. The whole album is as stupid and fun as an early Ramones album. I love it.
