I first heard this band on Sirius' Octane station with the song, "Rock N Roll Dream" . I had no idea that they were a group of young men.....meaning teenagers. Still, this has no bearing on their music. Old school based metal with a twist of new.

I'm always thrilled to see yet another younger generation not just enjoying metal, but who are influenced by those of past bands. Great to see young people actually taking interest in musical instruments, instead of just bragging how they can create beats. Every song on this CD is refreshing and actually very listenable and can be played on radio.

Here's hoping these guys have a great career and thanks for continuing the struggle to keep heavy music alive.

I may be 50 years old now, but I still have an ear for great music. People who enjoy this kind of music should pick up a copy and enjoy.

This album is killer! I hear all kinds of influences, from the ones I mentioned in the title but also Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. The songs are great, the vocals and harmonies are amazing, and the music is ultra-heavy. It's hard to believe these guys are teenagers! Along with Black Tide, it appears there is a new generation of real metal still evolving.
This is definitely the album of the year so far, and I'll be surprised if anything can top it. Rock off!

Can't wait for this album to be released. I heard them perform "Gone" on Mark and Brian in L.A. on January 15 and even for young kids they are real deal old school rock and rollers with enough contemporary edge to make them relevant. They could very well be my new favorite rock band if the album is as good as the live versions. Long live rock n roll.

I was in the search for some new music and came across this at a Target for only 9 bucks, I figured it couldn't be wasteful (even if it sucked). From the moment the first song hit until it ended, I was impressed. I really like "Adrenaline". Good music without some of the typical verbal diatribe from other albums. Then, I found out these guys were about 15 when this dropped. Very cool stuff. The MTV special on these guys is pretty cool to watch. If you are in the search of solid tunes, recommend picking this up.

A friend recommended these guys so I went out on a limb and bought the CD. This is some good stuff. Listening to the CD I would have never thought these guys were as young as they are. The album rocks and it's well produced.

This CD is AWESOME, I was shocked to find the entire playlist to be as good as it is. BUY IT...You will not be dissapointed. If you are into Grunge this CD is for you.

This is a band of teenage guys who really know how to rock!!! My husband who is a 56 year old retired cop loves this band. He got me hooked, and we blast this CD all the time.

They have such an amazing mature talant that is way beyond their years. We hope they are around for a long time to come.

This band absolutely ROCKS ! I could'nt believe the depth and quality of the music for a band so young. I am awed with everything the band has put into this CD--its on the level of bands that have been around for years,actually better than alot of more experienced bands. Crooked X has become my fav CD to listen to , of course, totally cranked! I sincerely wish them the best for the future success and anxiously await their next CD. Check this cd out, you will not be disappointed.

Why is it that I just heard about this band recently. Poor promoting from the record company? I am a music lover and CD collector and I purchased this CD within the week. It is amazing!! It makes me so happy that kids this young are putting out real hard rock/heavy metal.

Good alternative metal choice from this four piece band, coming to you from Coweta, Oklahoma. Tunes that had me playing this disc over several times were the *ss-kicking "Rock N Roll Dream", "You Gotta Bleed", "Nail In The Coffin", "Nightmare" (nice guitar riffs) and "Lost Control". Did I hear right about the band members - are like 14 or 15? I have CD's older than that. But then again, don't we all? Should appeal to fans of King's X, Powerman 5000, Shinedown and possibly Linkin Park.
