4.0 out of 5 stars Great Album from a Great Band, November 30, 2001

By	Sean (Winsted, CT) - See all my reviews

Although it's not the best release from the get up kids, it is one that hardcore fams that don't own all the 7's will want to pick up. Hell, I'd pay 13 bucks just to have the breathing method and up on the roof *(the two best songs on the album). But if you are looking to buy an album by the get up kids, pick up somthing to write home about first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can I give this 8 stars? 5 is simply not enough., May 7, 2003

By	Andrew High (Tempe, AZ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I must say, in writing this review I am unwaveringly biased, in my own humble opinion everything this band touches turns to gold. And, as a fan it is really nice to have the b-sides, compilation tracks, import only tracks, and covers brought together, so as to avoid extensive searching.

This album houses some of TGUK's brightest moments. There is an insanely distinct variation of moods and melodies on this album and some of the stand out tracks, and my personal favorites are: Up on the roof, (Cure's cover) Close to Me, Sufrogate City, Alec Eiffel, Impossible Outcomes, Shorty, and On with the Show.

Impossible Outcomes is one of my favorite songs of all time, it transcends so many different qualities i yearn for in music and does so flawflessy and effortlessly. The vocals seem to float above the melodies yet have a seemless integration that makes me shout this chorus whenever and wherever the track graces my ears. I would spend 15 dollars just for this song, and with that purchase you get 16 other rockin joints for free....so, leave now and don't return until you own this album....

5.0 out of 5 stars Sincerely Feelings, October 10, 2002

By	Mauricio (Brazil) - See all my reviews

Well, I see everybody saying a lot of bad things about this record. Their covers are just beautiful...especially when they transform eletronic based musics like New Order's Regret and Cure's Close to me...the way they just made with guitars...its awesome...and what I like the most in this record, and probably in the band...is the way they express feelings so well...in Forgive and Forget...Shorty...Central Standard Time....Im a Loner Dottie a Rebel...it's all good....and even the slowest ones like Newfound Mass and The Breathing Method can keep u up...it surely worth every penny u spent on it...and if u dont have it...what r u waiting for?
