5.0 out of 5 stars essential, May 28, 1999

nothing else makes everything ok for 2 and a half minutes than a lifetime song. this is their most cohesive and impressive work from start to finish. is it 21 minutes long? it feels like an hour (in a good way) - or at least it used to - before i knew it by heart from start to finish. the bliss, ache, and passion in these songs - from the sheer explosive energy, the heaving and winding nearly orchestral feel of the driving hardcore crash and crunch fused with unparalleled melodicism, and ari's introspective lyrics - this album lingers more like an incredibly memorable book than a rock album. this is cathartic. this is how life feels

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC, March 27, 1999

Although it isn't their first release, I consider it to be... why? Because they used to kinda suck. This album is what happens when a band matures and reaches their potential. The singer used to be monotone and sing (if you can call it that) his high-schoolish poetry over music that didn't match the tone of the words. Hello Bastards shows he actually can sing - and well. The music has been refined as well. Anyway... this album is a complete 180. One of my favorite albums - and it will be yours too. Punk/pop-punk must-have.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hello Bastards is a raw, adrenaline-filled punk delight., August 25, 1998

Lifetime's first release on Jade Tree Records is a keeper. The band still maintains their hardcore sound but has added infectious, melodic lyrics. The pure energy of the album is incredible and will leave the listener wanting more. The album did not receive 5 stars because it is only 22 minutes in length, but this is the best 12 song, 22 minute CD that a punk/hardcore fan can buy.
