The Gamblers rule, if this is an unknown fact to you, then you are either deaf, never heard them, or just dumb. If the first or last are the case, then you are screwed, if it's the second, then buy this record, and treat your ears the punk rock ear candy that is the Gamblers. An intense live act, that causes physical injury to all those on stage. Playing songs that will recall equal parts Rocket From The Crypt, AC DC, Radio Birdman, The Rip Offs, and other classic yesteryear punk rock, but make no mistake, this rock is all 100% Gamblers!

I'm kinda corn-fused why some people are rating this so low? Sure, it sounds different then their previous releases. Sure it's a bit more "polished" then previous releases. But that's not to say that this isn't a darn fine slab of rock. Great writing, big hooks, lightning quick guitars. What's not to love? I'd give it 4 1/2 stars, but one doesn't exist, so 4 it is.

I first heard of the Riverboat Gamblers from the Warped Tour 2006 compilation CD. As soon as I heard "Don't Bury Me...I'm Still Not Dead" I knew that I had to own the CD.

"To The Confusion Of Our Enemies" is full of punk rck with attitude, but on the other hand doesn't take itself too seriously. "Don't Bury Me" is a high-speed ballad, "Biz Loves Sluts" is a thinly-veiled poke at Hollywood, and tracks such as "The Gamblers Try Their Hand At International Diplomacy" and "Unicorn Shave Your Horn" are just the band messing around and having a good time.

With a sound somewhere that punk and alternative rock lovers alike can appreciate, the "To The Confusion Of Our Enemeies" is a solid addition to any rocker's collection.

This is great, hard hitting cd. Stand out tracks are "I'm Still Not Dead Yet", "Year of the Rooster' and "Curse of the Ivory Coast" but there's not really a bad track on here. It's melodic, energetic but still raw. One of the best cds I bought this year. They sound tight, not sloppy. Can't wait to see them live-heard they're a great show.

I've never written or stated anything negative about a record or band in my life... However, after listening to the gamblers latest and most anticipated album, I am pissed. I was completely let down. If you are a huge fan of "Something to Crow About" or the self titled (wich are both pretty f'in high on my list) stay away from this one. This album is way over produced and "catchy". There were a couple of bangers here and there but nothing that made me want to down a pint of Jim Beam and wrestle my fridge. I didn't even here a single YEAH! through out the whole album. I love the Gamblers, but this album just plain sucks.

i have seen this band live about 5 times back during the "Something to Crow About" days. i must say they rocked the house like no other each time. In my opinion Something to Crow About is a five star album. on stage Mike Weibe used to make fun of Good Charlotte. On To the confusion of our enemies the riverboat gamblers sound more like good charlotte than themselves. wasted my money. maybe it's the new lineup changes. all three previous albums are better than this one.
