5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, August 18, 2003

This album is one of the best punk-rock indie records ever to come out. They are one of the most talented bands... and it is unfortunate that Tom Barnes, the lead singer, is apparently no longer in music...He has the most original and gritty voice I have ever heard, and I love it. I can't say enough about Engine 88, except that if you don't have it, you are a ... and you have missed out on life...

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome indie punk band from San Francisco!, August 26, 2001

This album rocks! Engine 88 was one of the premiere local SF bands to see in the mid 90's around San Francisco. They toured with Counting Crows right before their breakup in the late 90's. Engine 88's singer used to sing in another band, Sordid Humor, with Adam Duritz. That album is pretty good too. The lyrics on all of Engine's albums are original, interesting and funny. I believe that the singer is an environmentalist and he uses a lot of his experiences in his lyrics. Definitely worth the few bucks you can pick this up used for. Other bands I'm into if it helps categorize Engine 88 are Catherine Wheel, Swervedriver, Mystery Machine, U2, Radiohead, Death Cab for Cutie and other indies...
