Rooted in surf-punk with a subtle yet definite rockabilly streak, The Special goodness has the deep influence of the California Bay Area rippling through their new release "Landairsea". Three-piece format lends to very pungent and simplistic guitar riffs, with the bass line following the melody as much as the drummer. Pat Wilson & Atom Willard speak of living fast, and not wanting a "Wasted Life," giving the listener a preview of their live shows and hot rods on the enhanced CD. Despite very amateur filming quality, the disc gives you a good idea of what to expect from a live concert. The Goodness stay very much in the tradition of revving up a small-block pickup for a trip to the track. The new disc is available now on Epitaph Records.

Pretty sweet album. If you like weezer, you will like special goodness. So I bought this album last year. Now I see it is released again? A different album cover and the songs are in a different order. Did they get a different record label or what? Anyways, good album.

Pat Wilson is a good songwriter in his own right. If you are expecting Weezer, then you will be disappointed because this ISN'T Weezer.

Overall a good album, and one of my favorites.

Point of reference: my favorite Weezer song is Island in the Sun.

I was surfing the web one day and came across a site with a ton of downloads from Weezer and a few related bands. So I grabbed them all--RIAA note, I owned all the albums I downloaded, except for these guys, who offered the music from their site. I listened. And listened. I'd run through all the songs, but would become most happy when Day in the Autumn came up. And In the Sun rocks too! Mellow but fun and just a little edgy. Like Island in the Sun. And my life...

This is a good album, and contains almost all the best songs I've heard from The Special Goodness. However, I have a song with the title "It's Only Natural" (they sing the phrase quite a lot if that helps place it) that I _think_ is also by these guys that I don't see on this album. Also a good song by my criteria. Would've loved to see it on here if it is the same group.

I really like this album. You should buy it too.

This is just generic pseudo sub-pop. Over-used heavy handed guitar, raw amateurish vocals droning on and on. Nothing special here. It sounds just like everything else of its genre. Not remotely engaging- the only interesting thing is the album cover harkening to the sixties atomic age. The sound, however, is mundane and tired. It's past time for something new- something fresh, something alive. Get creative or get home.

Listen, I only got this cd cause pat wilson is in it, WEEZERS DRUMMER. First off, this cd was okay. It wasnt a weezer they pulled off but it didnt suk either. If you are searching for good music, just get weezer. Its much better for you and me. But if u are a weezer fan, and you are getting bored of the same music over and over definetly get this!!! Remember, its okay.This sing about wierd stuff like friends and auttum.
