I know, it's not Metallica...well guess what folks, it was never intended to be metal music. It was never intended to be a Jason Newsted product either. What it is, is 2 very talented kids who can write lyrics from a very unusual viewpoint, and link it up with catchy music. Pay attention to the words, and you will find yourself nodding your head and thinking "I remember that happened to me". I'd much rather have my kids bug me to play this over and over than Barney! (And they do) I cannot wait for the next installment, Jason Newsted or not. I am just excited to see how their careers (and voices) evolve.

Now, I'm a serious Metallica fan and father of two who bought this album on a whim because Jason Newsted, Metallica's ex-bass player was on it. Since buying it last week, I have not been able to put it down. My kids (age 12 and 17) now have there own copy because I listen to mine non-stop. Jason Newsted was right, the Moss Brothers rock and no matter what your age, you'll know that you're listening to some special musicians here. Buy the Moss Brothers for your kids and for yourself because they are real deal. Can't wait for their next album already. Long live the Moss!!!!

.... Give them a break. I think this is a great record right up there with the new Weezer. I guess that the people who wrote the reviews that said the Moss Brothers are terrible, probably can't play an instrument to save their lives and just don't get it. Jason should get a medal or something for cultivating these truly amazing kids. .... ROCK ON MOSS BROTHERS!!!

While the voice, at some points, is a little bit abrasive and annoying, the musical talent exhibited by these youths is certainly evident. I must disagree that the lyrics are "juvenille"; just because a 12-year-old refuses to conform to the norms of love songs does not mean his words lack complexity or wit. Each song on the album is catchy and has a cool riff, and Newsted is a great addition on the bass. I must add that each song is in a different key, possibly in the style of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. Thus, the album has great replay value, due to the non-tedious nature of the keys.

I heart the Moss Bros, and sincerely hope they get back together soon. I wonder how Reuben is doing. He must be in his junior year of high school by now? Wow, crazy how this generation grows up so fast!

Good playing by this youngsters, a Metallica protegé band. They are technically superior to many grown up bands out there. Give them a listen, chances are, you might not be dissappointed.

This is great! These kids are incredibly talented and I can't wait to hear how their sound progresses as they age. I think it's horrible that people are saying they aren't good musicians because I am completely willing to admit that they have more musical talent at 12 and 15 than I have ever and will ever have. Keep it up boys!

While the lyrics are incredibly juvenile, even for a twelve year old and a fifteen year old, and the lead singers voice does make you cringe a little, The Moss Brothers don't act their ages in the instrument department. (In a good way.) The guitar play is quite impressive for twelve, even if the vocals aren't and I gurantee in three or four years, when the kid goes through puberty, and they step up the songwriting, they'll be a group to look out for.

This CD is fabulous--totally original and rocking. These kids are tremendously talented. And, of course, having Jason Newsted on the bass is the best.

This CD is great! The music is rocking and it is extremely original. These kids are amazingly talented. And, of course, having Jason Newsted on the bass is the best.

I get that these are kids. They are talented, but... those vocals are painful, really painful. Why do they sing the songs when they cannot hit all the notes? Maybe the CD is good for people who do not listen to a lot of music, but for me, it does not work. I;ll be interested in hearing them in six years, but for now, I'll use the CD for a coaster.
