Alright! So, this year we have releases from Left Alone, Anti-Flag, NOFX, and Rancid...let's start off with that. So far Left Alone and NOFX are released. But, this review is for the new LEFT ALONE self titled... their third on Tim Armstrong's Hellcat Records.

If anyone reading this has their two other discs ("Lonely Starts and Broken Hearts", "Dead American Radio"), and you like them, then you're in for a treat. This is WITHOUT A DOUBT Left Alone's best album yet. Now, I dig "Dead American Radio" a lot, there's a lot of great songs on there. But after that release, Elvis Cortez apparently went on a vacation and started fresh, so to speak. He's the only member in the band that is original, but don't let that stop you guys. This is the best the music has been on any of the albums! And I'd like to give props to Elvis Cortez for the great lyrics as well.

An absolutely flawless disc with catchy as Hell songs, and the perfect combination of punk with some dash of ska thrown in for good measure. Not a boring song on here! Even the intermission is pretty cool to listen to before it kicks into another great song.

So if you're a general fan of anything on Hellcat, and like punk with some ska, definitely pick this up. You won't be disappointed!

Having really enjoyed the first couple of singles from this band I decided to pick up the CD and for the most part it lives up to the hype I was reading in magizines. The songs 1-7 are really solid and "Spiked With Pain","3 Bottles of Wine",and "Bombs Away" are big three that stand out. Song 8 or "Intermission" as it's called is where the disc sort of takes a step back. Really for me the rest of the disc is good but not solid in baseball terms a top heavy lineup. Do I suggest you get this ? Yes.....For the first reason any of the three songs I listed before are better playing in your cd player than FM radio and the second reason it goes great for background at a party....unless it's your 5 year old sisters birthday party.

Product was available and easy to order. It was delivered timely and plays
fine! My son is very satisfied!
