I would have to say that this CD is one of the best that I own. I have owned it since it was released, several copies actually, and it seems that I hear something new everytime I listen to it. The lyrics are very thought provoking and the music, in my opinion, is incredible. If you enjoy music, BUY THIS CD ASAP!!

My favorite album by this band is "Billy". This is because it was the first album I heard and owned by these guys. Finding it in a bargain bin was the best bargain I ever had and I have a great deal of respect for this band. They never got their due and you should be buying this as you read my review! Great album!

one of my top ten favorite albums of all time. someone handed me this CD for free back in 1995 and i'm so glad they did. this is one of the few CDs that i can definately say changed my life and changed how i approached music. and if you like this band, you should check out Boston's Sometimes She Burns.

I was so happy to find that Samiam didn't "sell out" when they made the move to Major Label-dom (or is it 'dumb'?)... I was a devoted fan from the beginning and this ranks as one of the best Albums. For a major label debut, it was probably too innovative for radio-play. This is classic Samiam - old school fans will love it. See this band live!

And the result is: Samiam's excellent non-crybaby emotional rock. If you like to tap your foot or dance while you empathize, then this here band are your guyz. One of my TWO favorite Samiam releases (the other being 'You Are Freaking Me Out'); This one is the more emo-slanted one, 'Freaking' is the more rock-slanted one. Both of them simply contain better, more concise songs, and cleaner production than their earlier releases. After you hear this CD, you'll have a little less patience for off-key whiny singers - trust me.

I started listening to Samiam after I heard "Dull" on a comp. I picked up "Astray" and I really liked it. Soon after, I bought this masterpeice, which is by far the best emo cd I own. No other emo cd I own can compare to the depth, emotion and instrumentation on this one. My main complaint on "Astray" was that the druming was a bit weak. Here, the druming sounds excellent, much better than "Astray". Each song varies and is masterful. All the songs on this cd are excellent, and filled to the brim with depth and emotion. From the flavorsome guitar work, to the stellar drum work and the deep lyrics, this album is an emo masterpeice, anyone into the emo scene must get this cd.

The cd kicks off with "As Were Told", a fast track with the best druming I've heard from Samiam. Then it goes into the ballad "Capsized" and from there on, the cd does not fail to amaze. It is truly impossible to pick a favorite from this one, each track stands out in its own way, making this cd strong, and solid all the way through.

Forget Saves the Day, go pick up this cd to see what real emo is. Samiam are a truly amazing band, and deserve much more attention.

I love Samiam but this cd really disappointed me. I have You Are Freaking me Out and it blows this cd away. Don't get me wrong this isn't a terrible cd but none of the songs are badass enough to go back and listen to them again except for maybe capsized.

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, and this is their finest album. Buy it.

This is my favorite album.Samiam is the greatest band.I relate to most of their songs.And the music and beat is outstanding,I think everyone should buy this Cd if you like punk.

What a great album! You must listen and appreciate this band! The guitar screams!!! Lyrics are deep and understandable...I can relate to them!!
