Once I entered high school I quickly made friends with the local punks, I was finally meeting similar people who shared the same convictions as I did. Bouncing Souls had just released this and the 'Souls came up often in conversation. They played NYC often and at least 10 of my new upper classmen friends would be talking about going to the show all week, and come Monday they would go on and on about how much fun they had watching the 'Souls and dancing the night away. This album has almost every element to earn it a special place in my heart, along with my friends, we both grew and dealt with issues, often slapping this album on while taking long drives. The 'Souls music is laced with energy, joy, confusion, and melody. The lyrics are almost always a step above their peers, and I always found myself relating to them. The majority of their releases never leave my stereo, and though they have been lacking on their newest effort, Hopeless Romantic their previous albums always bring me happiness. I like your mom! oh, and they don't play "Old School" (one of their best songs) live, I've seen 'em enough, no matter how loud I scream they don't play it.

The Bouncing Souls are a great punk band with a unique sound compared to other punk bands. They've got great lyrics which makes their songs great. It's such an awesome CD it will make you want their other two just so you have more of the Bouncing Souls to listen to. You cannot listen to this CD too much, because you won't get sick of it. My favorite songs are Joe Lies (When he Cries) and Neurotic.

With all the boring, dime a dozen punk bands out there right now, the Bouncing Souls are an amazing breath of fresh air! This album is so great! Full of energy, catchy punk rock anthems, and references from 80's movies. The funny yet disturbing ended of my favorite track (Neurotic) has become a staple in mine and my friends answering machines. You'll see what i mean if you go buy this must have for any punk rock fan!

The Bouncing souls rule! east coast! You! yeah baby, yeah!

i love the bouncing souls but this album is not that great.it has some good tunes on it:joe lies(when he cries)i like your mom,deadbeats and a couple others but that's it.it's not like any of the other albums that followed at all.the best way i can describe it is that it sounds like the vandals,kinda.and what's up with the two cover songs?candy(i want candy-bow wow wow)and i know what boys like(the waitreses)they're both songs about boys!!!!and how the female singing the original either wants them or she's singing about a boys wanting to touch her!!one cover like this is funny but two..it makes me wonder what gender the bouncing souls like.not nearly as good as their other 3 albums.

wow. this album is good. it has OLD SCHOOL bouncing souls, and it has a cover of the crappy song (but they made it good) CANDY, and im not sure if its a vinyl only bonus track, but it has the cover of another crappy cover song made good by BS I KNOW WHAT BOYS LIKE. buy this album!
