This cd is awesome and you should buy it. Its some of the best punk music i have heard in a while, songs 3,12,and 13 are songs that will make you want to hit a kickers and bust a huge method. GO FORUM 8

Personally I like the album. It's not a favorite in my collection but they have some real hard hitting tracks. The brits always knew how to make some good music.

It's Strung Out in the early days without the extrem speed, and with a brittish singer who will blow you away. Where Breakfast at Pappa's is somewhat poppier, this is harder, faster, and more thought trough. It's a little bit better than Pistols at Dawn, which had some very slow songs. Sunnyside up, King Kong Song is the best Consumed songs ever.

This cd, in my opinion, is mediocre. There are a few bands that sound like Consumed (Millencolin and No Use For a Name being a couple of the best) but this cd doesn't really stand out from the crowd as much as I hoped. I'm not saying the cd sucks or anything, there a few standout songs like "Wake Up With a Smile" which is freaking awesome, "Chop Suicide", "King Kong Song", and "Something to Do" which will work you up into a frenzy if you let it. Put simply, these guys are fast, driving, sort of melodic punk that is well worth a listen. I'd find it used if you can, well worth 5 or 8 bucks. Check out No Use For A Name if you like this kind of punk, they'll knock your socks off.

This CD is one of their best and you will become addicted very quickly. I can't really say that this Cd has any best songs because they are one of my favorite bands. If you want something similar check out THE VANDALS, THE OFFSPRING, and BLINK 182 for more rocking action. The other good CD that this band has is BREAKFAST AT PAPPAS. The CD rocks,get today. Why wait... brand new and ROCKS!!!!!!

Ok, so it's Fat punk. But if you're one of those people who pigeonhole bands by the label they're on, then you'll be missing out on one of the best albums of 1999. Consumed is a four piece from England, and these boys sure know how to rock across the Atlantic.

The album kicks off with "Sunnyside Up," your basic super-fast melodic punk anthem, just the right thing to get you into the "punk" mindset. The band isn't afraid to stray into dissonance, though, as shown on "King Kong Song." The way the bass line rubs against the guitar line in the pre-chorus is frankly genius, and it gets the average listener saying "Why won't the damn bassist play the right note?" The guitarwork overall on this album is nothing short of spectacular. These guys know how to write some catchy-as-all-hell riffs, and they have enough talent to be able to play them fast. REALLY fast. The drumming is your basic "bass-snare-bass bass-snare" patterns for the most part, but the drummer keeps time very well, and the fills accent with the rest of the band, a skill that is lacking in a lot of punk bands nowadays. Then we come to the singer. His voice has just that right amount of urgency that makes you take note of his frantic vocals. The lyrics are not that amazing by themselves, but it's all in the delivery, in my opinion. This guy could make "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" sound good. Plus, they succeed in the most vital aspect of punk:

No song is over three minutes long (except "King Kong Song, which is 3:08). This is half the reason that this band rocks so hard. Even if there's a song you don't like, it's almost over before you hit the "skip" button. This is by far the best band on Fat (save No Use For A Name), and you'd be a fool not to check them out.

This cd is so awesome! I just bought it, and i cant get it out of my CD player! If you love punk (millencolin, nofx, pennywise, lagwagon etc.), you MUST and i repeat MUST get this cd! it will have you addicted! the best songs are wake up with a smile, and black and blue. BUY IT RIGHT NOW, GET UP AND BUY IT, I REPEAT RIGHT NOW!
