5.0 out of 5 stars NUFAN is still a great band., September 17, 2008

By	Emily (Orlando, Florida) - See all my reviews

Although I can understand why people aren't as fond of this CD, as say, More Betterness, I can't help but disagree. I've been a NUFAN fan for a long time, and seen them live numerous times. Perhaps watching them perform these songs live has caused me to be biased, but I thoroughly enjoy all of the songs on this CD.

The Biggest Lie and I Wanna Be Wrong are two of my favorite NUFAN songs ever. Granted the slower songs can really throw the pace off on this album, I think that the faster songs really bring back a lot of energy that they had lost with their last record, which I thought was terrible.

I'm glad that this album has picked up some steam from their last, and I believe that this is a really solid release from No Use For A Name.

5.0 out of 5 stars NUFAN continues to rule, February 26, 2009

This is a biased review, but NUFAN totally rocks. I lament the lack of fast, guitar driven melodic punk these days, and its great to have solid new releases from bands you can count on. Pacific Standard Time will rank among my favorite NUFAN songs. I can only hope that new bands will listen to this an attempt to emulate. Rock on Tony and crew!

5.0 out of 5 stars NUFAN still continues to evolve, like it or not. I like it., October 27, 2008

If you weren't a fan of "Hard Rock Bottom," or probably more specifically, "Keep Them Confused," then there's a decent chance you won't be a huge fan of this album. I, on the other hand, love those two previously stated albums, and I love this one. Here's what to expect from this cd:
This album contains the most slow songs yet from NUFAN, I think four. If you don't like the acoustic sound, then you may not be into those tracks.
The first song, "Biggest Lie," is their hardest rocking and one of their best songs in a long time, but the album's intensity never reaches that hard and fast again.
So if you like straight-forward rock songs with a mostly solid pace throughout and great melodies, then this is the album for you.
I think a lot of NUFAN fans need to realize that we aren't going to get another album like "Making Friends" or "Leche Con Carne," and to stop expecting that type of album. NUFAN keeps a lot of the punk ethos present in their lyrics, but the music itself has been replaced by more mid-tempo stuff, rather than machine gun drumbeats and minute-and-a-half long punk songs.
But if you can move beyond those expectations and take this album for what it is, a great rock album with their most varied song selection yet, with their ever-increasing talent and ability on display, then you can probably enjoy this album. I love it.
