20 years later who'd have thought THE FREEZE could still pull THE BIG ONE off. This is Punk Rock without the frills, but with lyrics and guitar lines that are unforgettable. ONE FALSE MOVE is the best yet for 1999!

This is a torturous CD to listen too, only because Clif Hanger chronicles the sad and lonely sides of life like no other lyricist who has ever put pen to paper. Sometimes I'll get these suicidal thoughts and I'll put THE FREEZE on and realize that there are others out there who have it just as bad as me. I don't feel alone anymore. Thanks for the 20 years!

After being a "fan" of THE FREEZE ever since I can remember, it's so refreshing and re-assuring to know that after 22 years of playing PUNK ROCK, that THE FREEZE still have "IT"! ONE FALSE MOVE has 14 great songs AND unbelievably, cover art by the Legendary Edward Gorey! What an unbeatable combination! I hear they're still together and will be releasing more studio stuff soon!

Edward Gorey and Clif Hanger, this is a match made in who knows where? The world should just be VERY happy it happened because the original Gorey cover art sets the perfect tone for the perfect album by the perfectly imperfect Punk band THE FREEZE! Anxiety, Suicide, LetterBombs, Meth Labs, swift-slash guitar lines, tunes that attach to your neurons like emotionally twisted musical leeches. This is the doorway into the subconscious nightmares which we all experience but are too scared to let out into the open. Clif's lyrics take you through that doorway and onto a grand stage of psychiatic mutations. Here are the twisted mirror images that flash suddenly in the mind whenever the idea of DEATH begins to hover. Let the lyrics embrace you and the music seep inside you and you'll be changed forever! I've NEVER heard a band that has this type of power before...

The Freeze and Edward Gorey! You couldn't ask for a better suited pair working together. The songs are murky cries for help, or gurgling goodbyes from the tortured, twisted and the just worn out. Bill Close laid down his usual smack-down, hissing, blazes of guitar glory for the last time. He left the band the moment he laid down his last guitar tracks for this CD. This might be the end of the only truly LEGENDARY Boston Punk Rock band. Southern CA has Social D, and Bad Religion, Minnesota had HUSKER DU, NY/NJ had THE MISFITS, SF SCREECHING WEASEL and the DK'S, BOSTON had THE FREEZE and we should be proud to say it!!!!

Great album by these guys. It sounds great and there are some good songs. This is more like their early stuff...buy it!
