Easily my favorite new band. I picked up this cd after hearing Dave Grohl was a fan and was not disappointed. The Letters Orgazine have an amazing unique sound combined with a ferocious energy that keeps you listening to this cd over and over again.

I picked this CD up after hearing they were opening up for VAUX, and reading all the amazing editorial reviews...and I was definetly not disappointed! They sound similiar to what REFUSED would sound like if they would have stuck around and cleaned up their production a little. It is most definetly not watered down 3 chord punk, they are more of a hardcore band that doesn't take themselves too nihilistically, if that makes any sense.

They will kick your ass live, also.

Between Bullet Train To Vegas, Letters Organize, Aquabats, and Rufio, there's plenty going on over at Nitro Records.

The energy of Letters Organize is astonishing. The production value is fantastic. These guys rock it so hard it's pretty ridiculous. This is a punk record, and these guys are very much a punk band, but this is much more than that. This works for emo fans, punk fans, hardcore fans. These guys just have it. Here's to hearing more. Cheers!

If you like this album, I strongly suggest checking out Bullet Train To Vegas. That's all I've got to say about that.

From the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia comes THE LETTERS ORGANIZE, a punk rock machine with an explosive temperament fueled by their loud, in-your-face brand of hybrid punk consisting of equal parts metal, screamo and what many may perceive to be classic early 80's west coast punk. This volatile concoction is delivered on a musical surface that has unbelievably precise guitar riffing, unheralded screams mixed with naturalistic conversational vocals and a rhythm section hell bent on maintaining a sporadic, but well defined, pace. Although it seems improbable, they withdrew elements from THE CIRCLE JERKS repertoire, the unhinged rage of a hard-line screamo band and the deepened tonal quality of a heavy metal beating with traces of a FUGAZI "In on the Killtaker" vibe in mind. For the non-believers, be sure to check out tracks like "Matador" and "I Want I Want". Those should be enough evidence to convince you of their punk rock prowess. Not only do they know how to hammer out killer riffs but they also have an astonishing understanding of crescendo and decrescendo as displayed time and again through ultra catchy hooks that are desirable to anyone with an ounce of rhythm. They made not be responsible for the advent of fire but they certainly know how to use it...especially to burn your eardrums.

I bought this cd after reading Alternative Press magazine. I have wanted it for quite some time but AP sealed it for me. They did an interview of Dexter Holland of The Offspring (owner of NITRO records) and he listed this cd as one of the 5 must have cd's from his label. It sounds like Street Punk meets up with his good buddy Hardcore and then they go and pick up The Hives. This cd is absolutely amazing! It reminds me of Showbread in some aspects and Since they are both from Atlanta, GA I think there may be a good reason behind that. Whoever said that this was like Manson is crazy. It sounds nothing like that devil-worshipping faggot! You need to learn to appreciate good music and this disc my friends...deserves A LOT of appreciation!

This is what I've been waiting for....an album that leaves all that new BS behind in the toilet. The misguided "music fan" who said this sounds like Marilyn Manson needs to go back to his goth rock closet and tell his mommy to wash of his eyeliner. It is sooo hard to find good new music, but my search is over now. Each track hits hard. The music is sooooo tight. I mean freakin TIGHT! Every song is full of PUNCHES and UPPERCUTTS! There isnt a single track on this album that doesnt beg to played as loud as possible. Whoever did the studio work deserves a Grammy. I listen to this instead of drinking coffee in the morning. It also cured my coke addiction. THANK YOU T.L.O. for restoring my faith in hardrocking-hardcore-aggressive-progressive-sledgehammer-dragracing-wallbanging-slapyourgirlsass GOOD TIMES!!!!

I don't get this rock n roll hardcore stuff, it's just not heavy or abrasive enough to have any impact, and it's not catchy either. The vocals are so frantic and impassioned, but the music is just wussy and dull.

This music is not worth it. IF you enjoy bar music with a bit of singing and a bit of screaming then this is for you. It also has a sound of Marilyn Manson to some of it. Not so shock rock though.
