5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent debut from an amazing band, September 4, 2006

Dope is any concert-goer's dream! I've seen them twice already (touring with Cold, Mushroomhead, Lifer...) and they are a band built for the metal crowd! On this CD Dope introduces themselves to the world with garbled vocals and extremely energetic guitars. SPEEDMETAL!

Their other three albums that came after this have a cleaner, touched up sound compared to this one, but they all share the same enrgy. The lead singer (Edsel Dope) shows more singing talent on the next albums, but this CD rocks anyway.

If you're looking for the extra track, this CD doesn't seem to have one. But you can find them on "TAKE A BITE OUTTA RYHME: A ROCK TRIBUTE TO RAP" where Dope covers "New Jack Hustler" and "WWF: FORCEABLE ENTRY" where Dope provides a track called "No Chance".

If you like this CDs raw energy and anger, then check out their latest album "American Apathy" and try to get the limited CD/DVD combo--it's well worth it! "American Apathy" combines "Felons..." energy with the clean sound of their "Life" and "Group Therapy" albums.

SEE THEM LIVE IF YOU CAN! THEY ARE EVEN LOUDER AND MORE ENERGETIC IN CONCERT!!

3.0 out of 5 stars One of the Better CDs you have never heard, June 27, 2001

Truth be known I am no metal or goth metal fan, but this album was worth a listen for the track Debonaire and also the two covers on the CD. Debonaire is the standout track from this release and its a heavy drum barreling tune that is quick, dark and menacing, or just simply a great song, knocking Puff Daddy and his lifestyle. The two covers on this disc are great to listen to including F the Police. I am a fan of Ice Cube, but this version is better than Ice Cube's. It is a bit more mellow than the other tracks on the album and they changed some of the lyrics to match themselves. Other notable songs are Sick which is a rage tune with a nice guitar build up, Wake Up, which will take you to another world with an erie melody. The only down side is that after a while into the CD everything begins to sound the same with heavy guitars, solid drum beats and distorted vocals.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just like Manson...only not, April 20, 2001

There's nothing much original about "felons and revolutionaries." Dope's sound is ripped straight from "Antichrist Superstar." The black-on-black American flag on the cover is a joke, and dope's whole image seems a bit phony. Even their retooling of Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me 'Round" is reminiscent of Orgy's cover of "Blue Monday." But who says originality and honesty is important in the new millennium? "Felons..." is noisy, obnoxious, vulgar... the perfect thing to blast at work to piss off your boss and your co-workers. Dope rocks, that's all that matters. Best tracks: "Everything Sucks" and "F**k the Police."
