If you by this CD you'll be sad. You'll be sad that you weren't at the State Theater in Kalamazoo, Michigan last October when Domestic Problems recorded these tracks. I heard a snippet of one song off this disc on the radio and it intrigued me enough to buy. Without doubt, it's one of the best music buys I've made over the past two years.

The band weaves through an incredible array of sounds, from Celtic rhythms to jazzy beats, from ska to good old-fashioned rock-n-roll, with supreme confidence and the highest energy level this side of the Bare Naked Ladies. It's the energy level on the first track, "I Think It's Funny", that rivets your attention, and from then on you're hooked as the music does a powerful cascade through track after track. By the time you reach "El Matador" and it's cheesy romp through one-hit wonders, you're having so much fun that you're grinning out loud. The poignant "Ernie's Tragic Love Triangle" then sets up a soulful ending for the disc that leaves you wondering how a band this good, and this diverse can stay for much longer out of the popular music mainstream. Buy this disk today and you'll listen to it until you wear it out.

Many of us writing these reviews have had personal contact with this band. That may be primarily because they are the best non-major lable band of the past decade. It is also because they are some of the finest gentlemen I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I was a sound tech with a michigan sound company, and when I had the opportunities to work with DP, I knew that it was going to be a wonderful night. The music, their fans, and their attitudes are most excellent....HI ...!!

5.0 out of 5 stars DP the REAL way -- live!, July 15, 2001

Perhaps I am a bit partial to this CD because I was in the audience at the concert during which it was recorded, but the fact remains that DP is an AMAZING live act. Billy and Job's dancing, Andy's antics, and an amazing energy make Domestic Problems a nearly surreal experience in concert.

I was happy to see that this CD included the song "El Matador", a song about a matador and a bull falling in love. The best part of the song is that it is always interjected with other popular songs, and you never know what to expect. I have heard them sing everything from Twisted Sister to Ricky Martin during this song.

DP proves that they can rock with the best of 'em, cranking out can't-help-but-dance tunes like "Summer in the Sandbox" and "Ernie's Tragic Love Triangle", followed by more mellow tunes like "Untitled". Perhaps the best part of the concert, DP is joined by the Mission Orange Orchestra for "Untitled", creating a sound that raises the hair on your neck and makes your spine tingle.

No matter your musical taste, DP has enough variety to please most everyone -- a worthwhile buy for aanyone!
