5.0 out of 5 stars Five Iron's BEST Album, August 4, 2000

This is the best album that this band ever made. Reese Roper has an awesome tenor voice, and he has such a wide range! The songs on this album aren't the most mature, but they still convey strong biblical messages. The ska is unbelievably good; the horn section of this bands blows the Supertones and the Insyderz completely away. Dennis Culp is an excellent trombonist, and he has some great solos on the album! The songs are almost too fun and catchy...well, nevermind, music can never be TOO fun and catchy. Do yourself a favor and check this out! 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny of your money!, December 31, 1999

In Our Newest Album Ever by Five Iron Frenzy, the popular, yet still underground punk-ska band accomplishes exactly what they are trying to do. That is they blend melodic yet blazing ska, with punk vocals,and lyrics that are sometimes funny, and always Christian and/or uplifting. This is definately FIF's best work to date. I suggest you scrounge up some money any way you can and go buy it. You won't find better ska.

5.0 out of 5 stars This CD is like candy!, July 26, 2003

Hmmm... where to start...
Well actually, as far as Five Iron Frenzy, this is where I started. This was actually my first positive exposure to ska, for that matter. A year or two earlier, I heard the Bosstones, & I couldn't stand them. So, like many people I've discovered, I assumed I didn't like ska (which is a hilarious concept, now).
This cd kicks off with a bang, as "Handbook For the Sellout" rocks you sonically, and challenges your level of musical-snobbery (what a band). And the fun doesn't stop there, goodness no. The worthy singles "Suckerpunch" & "Superpowers" get you thinkin skankin' might not be such a silly dance after all. Through to the jazzy "Second Season", & on to my personal favorite, "Every New Day".
In the space of this one album, my musical horizons were expanded, & I even found myself influenced as a musician, especially with Scott Kerr (Yellow Second) still in the band for this album. Five Iron Frenzy, you will be missed. (tear)
