Editorial Reviews

To celebrate their 10-year anniversary the band decided to remix and remaster their first full length and what better label to do it on than Fueled By Ramen, which is owned by Vinnie (Drummer of Less Than Jake). 2002.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fab, March 6, 2003

I've got all of the Less Than Jake records, and their best of CD, and of the albums this (their debut) seems to be one of the best. They play ultra-energetic ska-punk, they have cool shouty vocals and they sound great. This record contains such classics as "Liqour Store", "Johnny Quest Thinks We're Sellouts" and "Jen Doesn't Like Me Anymore", which you may have heard in clubs if you've been lucky. So if you like ska-punk, this is a must buy, although a better introduction to the band is probably the Pezz collection, which has all of the stand-out tracks I mentioned, plus loads more from their (many, many) other records.

This is the copy of Pezcore that LTJ "re-mixed" so they wouldn't have to pay their former sax player, Jessica, any royalties. It's apparently one screw-over in what is apparently a long line of similar screw-overs from Gainesville's wackiest ska-punks.

Fans, do us a favor: The next time you're in the train-spank, maybe in between the toilet-paper gun and the 80's metal covers, remind "Vinnie" that stealing from your friends isn't punk.

Maybe he can mull that over while he's "walking the streets" in Gainesville and taking huge shares of the royalties for writing the same lyrics over and over again.

It's a shame, too, because Pezcore was a great record. Just don't buy it anymore, because the wrong guys are getting rich off of it.

This album is sweet! No LTJ collection would be complete without this album. There are so many great songs on here. It had to grow on me, personally, but after I listened to it three or four times, I was singing along and loving it. This gives a different look at the band then you see in later albums, because at this point they are just starting out, the sound quality is a little low, they are just wanting people to hear their music, and then they became a hit and signed with a major label. These guys are awesome and this album is a must listen!
