The crowd chanting "thank you" over and over again after the band's last ever performance of Every New Day is the only thing I can think of when I'm faced with having to say something about such a wonderful group of eight Christians. Aside from their amazing musical talent and insightful lyrics, they helped me more than any other to know God's great love for us. Thank you guys and God Bless.

This is my first FIF album, and I love it. Each song adds more variety to the cd. They are very creative in their song lyrics and can easily make you laugh. The music is very catchy and fun. For anyone who likes rock music and pleasing vocals, this is a great choice.

One word: SUPER AWESOME!!! Well, that's two words.

This is FIF's very last CD and, in my opinion, the best. The End is Here includes The End is Near CD, a live recording of FIF's final show in Denver, and a cool poster. All of the songs on The End is Near are new, explaining why it took so long to write and produce. My favorites are:
-Cannonball
-At Least...
-So Far, So Bad
-American Kryptonite
-Wizard Needs Food, Badly
-That's How the Story Ends
-On Distant Shores

The End is Here, the live album, has all of Five Iron's greatest tracks, including: Handbook for the Sellout, Blue Comb '78, Oh Canada, The Phantom Mullet, and, who can forget, Every New Day.

FIF will be missed by its fans and admirers. Eight and a half years together, they are considered by some the greatest Christian ska/punk/any-other-genre-of-music-you-can-think-of band ever. Well, I completly and totally agree with that.

When I heard the Five Iron was breaking up, I was crushed because I loved Five Iron from the start! Iwas trying to decide whether or not to but the cd because I was wondering if it was good or not! I finally went out and bought, and let me say thaat Five Iron Frenzy has done it again for the last time! This Cd is amazing, funny, and cool sounding. It is just sad to see them go!
Farewell Five Iron Frenzy

Eight and a half years of pure good music. 2 years ago, these CD's were made together with a Live CD titled "The End Is Here" and The final full-length CD, "The End Is Near." Five Iron Frenzy goes full power on "The End Is Near" with blasting performances.
Highlights:
-"At Least I'm..."
-"American Kryptonite"
-"Wizard Needs Food Badly"
-"See The Flames Begin To Crawl"
-"That's How The Story Ends"
-"On Distant Shores"

All other songs are magnificent but wouldnt deserve 5/5. There are many funny moments in some of the songs and the artwork is amazing for the booklet. (Douglas Napel, artist of 'Our Newest Album Ever!' 'Live! Proof...' and this CD.

There are bonus stuff at the end of this CD. (Live stuff)

Now the live cd...It's AMAZING. Every single song. it's perfect. all the greatest hits ever. There are many emotional parts. There is also one amazing song that stands out.
Medley. This song combines the songs "Ugly Day," "Suckerpunch," "One Girl Army," "My Evil Plan To Save The World," "Pre-Ex Girlfriend," "Combat Chuck," "Dandelions," "Superpowers," and more. And Even at the end, after their last song "Every New Day," FIF sing 'Amazing Grace' and even 'Silent Night.'

Overall, both Cd's Are GREAT and both deserve a listen. The booklet even needs a take to look at. The drawings of each person are creative and witty. And there is a story going on. There is also a poster.

Five Iron Frenzy
1995-2003

Wow, glad to see all thse other people who were at the final show!! I too travelled with 3 friends from San Diego to witness the final show, and like all of you it was one of the most incredible/emotional expereinces ever. When Leanor was crying after END and reese went over and put his arm around her as they sang "Amazing Grace"...deosn't get any better than that. Great CD, thought the quality of recording was GREAT, though was bummed nowhere did they include when they all started singing Michael W. Smiths' "Friends". Guess some moments I will just have to remember on my own!! What a show, what a band, what a CD, and most importantly, what an amazing God we serve!

Five Iron has been my favorite band for about five years now and when I found out they were breaking up, I was super depressed but, thankfully FIF has put out an album that perfectly represents them in all aspects. I bought 'the end is near' last summer and didn't think it could possibly get any better....but alas...it has. The end is here ROCKS!!!! They included all the staples of their live show and then some. It's just incredible. The bonus track,"the cross of st. andrew" is also freaking amazing.....and it makes me cry because it reminds me of how awesome FIF was. Well, anyways.....if you haven't gotten 'the end is near' yet, you are in for a big surprise. This album is definately five iron in their prime. It is THE BEST. If you like ska, punk....heck...any kind of music, you must buy this album. RIP FIF....you are an inspiration to myself and all of your generation.

Amazing, there jus isn much else to say. The last album from this band, and its crazy. This is one of their best albums.
The best part about this is not only is there the new CD but you get a live disk too! Absolutely amazing.

i definately recommend this cd! FIF is one of the greatest bands to ever live!!! not only are they incredibly talented but their songs contain awesome christian messages. the live cd was also quite cool and the "amazing grace" at the end nearly brought tears to my eyes.

i got into ska a long time ago and this is one of the first bands i heard on some unknown radio station and i was amazed on how good FIF is. If you like ska at all then you'll most definately like FIF. And this is probably their best cd with amazing tracks as "Wizard needs food badly" or "At least i'm not like all those other old guys" and "cannonball". Those are probably my favourite songs, but there all extremely good. This cd is the best ska cd i have ever heard! go out and buy it now
