Before Diamond Edition came out, I had purchased their previous album containing all of the tracks off of Diamond Edition with the exception of 3. I purchased this new one mostly because I had found their music so catchy, and perhaps 3 new tracks would give me something new by them to listen to. What first was odd to me is the album art. Amazon displays a large black album art with a sparkly Family Force 5 logo. I opened up my package to find that mine did as well, but it's just wrapping that packages the CD case and you have to actually take that off. So all of a sudden I am introduced to a new album art: a red background, and a skull and crossbones (the crossbones being keyboards of some sort). I was surprised that Amazon wouldn't display the actual album art. Anxious to hear the 3 new tracks, I immediately popped the CD into my player. I have a quick review of each of the 3 tracks:

I Love You to Death - Cool guitaring, lyrics are a bit repetitive and cheesy, but the beat is really catchy. I'd give this one a 4/5.

Face Down - This is the song that I can't seem to get into. It doesn't sound much like Family Force 5 at all. I have listened to it many times to see if it would grow on me. It mostly seems like a filler song. I'd give it a 2/5.

Never Let Me Go - This is probably my favorite of the 3. Very catchy vocals and effects. Guitaring sounds great. Chorus is fun. Definitely a cool beat. Overall, 5/5.

Hope this helps anyone who has purchased Business Up Front, Party in the Back in the past and basically wants to know if 3 new tracks is worth the cash. I'd say I'm satisfied overall. It's great to hear something new from them.

This album is one of the most unique albums to come out in a long time. Its not like anything else you've ever heard! Its definitely a feel good CD that you can dance to. I suggest that everyone should own a copy!

It is impossible to listen to this c.d. and not feel great. If you ever get the opportunity to see these guys in person, they are not to be missed. Definitely my favorite album in a long time. I can't recommend this album enough.

I think this is an amazing cd. It is lively and has a great beat. This is a spectacular cd and a must have cd for 2006 ;)

This album is so fun and energetic you could work out to it. Also If your having a bad day, it totally lifts your spirit.

Do yourself a favor and buy this cd RIGHT NOW. I was hooked from the start and have about wore this disc out from playing it constantly! Their groove is infectious, their guitars slamming, their hybrid brand of music captivating when others have tried and been ho-hum. This band is just havin' fun doing what they do! Most of the songs are about dancing and partying to a kickin' sound, but there is a spiritual side to their music and these guys aren't afraid to show it, or their love of God, without being intrusive or overwelming. Standout songs are "Cadillac Phunque", "Earthquake", "Peachy", "X-Girlfriend","Replace Me", and you'll be singing "Kountry Gentleman" and screaming "Love Addict" for days on end. The "force" is indeed with these talanted Georgia boys!

This album is so great it never leaves my stereo.
The first song I heard on the radio by FF5 was 'Replace Me,' it never gets old and is my number one all time favorite song, everyone should hear it. The rapping and rocking out mixes perfectly with the sweet guitar riffs and turntable mixes. No matter what type of music you like anyone can have a fun time dancing to these incredible beats!
Even live Family Force 5 brings it to the table, they are energetic, sound good, and so entertaining!
Check Them Out!!!!

I saw these guys perform at a 2-day festival last summer. I had never heard of them before, but when I saw them they totally caught my attention. Not only did I enjoy the music, but they were very entertaining to watch! I have been a fan ever since. The reason why I love their music so much is because it is a mixture of rock and hip-hop, both of which are genres I love. It's nice to have a band that rocks out, but is also fun to dance to. If you haven't heard it yet, give them a chance! Even if you don't end up being crazy about them. It's about time that a band this eclectic hits the streets and our radios!

This CD Rocks! I highly recommend picking one up for yourself and your 20 closest friends.... and if you ever get the chance, go see them live. You WILL NOT be sorry.

This album is absolutely amazing. From the catchy choruses of Love Addict and Drama Queen to the beat and dance-ability of Numb and Kountry Gentlemen you will need a few glasses of water by the time you finish listening to the CD! You are guranteed to feel better after listening to Family Force 5!!! And if you ever get the chance to see them in concert you will flip over their energy and awesome stage presence!! Love this band!! A++
