5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Punk Rock Album Ever, April 2, 2005

Yes, I think Millencolin's Home From Home is, in my opinion, the best punk rock album of all time. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's the most important punk album, or the most influential or original or anything like that, but it is the best of the stuff that's out there. I've been listening to punk a LONG time, and enjoyed Millencolin for the most part. I have a few other albums and they're all good efforts, but nothing could prepare me for this one. I went into a record store and had a listen to the first track, Man or Mouse, and it absolutly blew me away. I immediatly bought the album and have held it at the top of my collection ever since. Millencolin's songwriting has come a long way since Pennybridge! That little extra angst really helped them find a great sound. The reason this album is the best is because it is the ultimate punk album. Every song is a perfect 10! If I were to ever get emotional over a record man, this is it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Millencolin - Home from Home, April 13, 2003

Preemptively speaking, I will go so far as to name this CD the number one album of 2002. I don't know who will be able to top this hard hitting wall of sound. Lets take a brief walk through the life of the band Millencolin. About 10 years ago the band emerged from Sweden with and infectious, high speed, Bad Religion influenced sound - 2 parts punk, 1 part ska. Over the years following, the band initially headed toward a much more ska influenced sound, before pulling back, then dropping it altogether. Pennybridge Pioneers was the product of this switch, which was overall a good, solid album - yet it does not hold a candle to their latest release. Now, with a much smaller helping of punk, dictionary definition style, our boys from Millencolin have grown a sound all their own. Not only developing musically, but lyrically as well, the sound of Millencolin is now unmistakable, and will undoubtedly carry them on to the forefront of their genre...

5.0 out of 5 stars This album definatly got my attention!, March 13, 2002

Before Millencolin, I used to only be in the rock/metal style of music, then one day I was talking to a friend, and they told me to look into the song "Kemp" by Millencolin. Totally unsure of what to expect from not really listening to punk style music before, I was blown away by this entire album. 13 tracks of non stop, blood pumpin tunes. There isn't a single song on here that I don't like, that's why its so hard to recommend a few songs as the best, when they all rock so much. This CD has definatly got me looking into many other punk artists, as well as other previous albums from Millencolin.

If you've never heard anything by Millencolin before, I highly suggest that you do. And if you're a long tme fan of Millencolin, what the heck... might as well get it for your collection already, because there is no way you can go wrong with "Home From Home" by Millencolin
