4.0 out of 5 stars
Fun, laid back cd. FIF has produced better but still good, May 28, 2000
This review is from: Proof That the Youth Are Revolting (Audio CD)
This new album from Five Iron Frenzy portrays FIF in their concerts. This Ska band birthed from the late nineties avoids the "punk" sound. An electrifying, catchy rhythm guides their music. FIF signed as a Christian band. Many of their songs don't have direct reference to God or Christ. A Godly moral can be found in all their songs however. FIF is the just what the doctor ordered for teens who are interested in music. Proof That the Youth are Revolting is FIF's fourth album and their first live album. Of the Fifteen songs included in this album only three are unique to this album. All other 13 songs are played at a faster tempo than their debut on previous albums. This album is cram packed with zanney pre-tracks that leave you with anything but boredom. The laid back attitude of this band is very relaxing. For example the "bloopers" of this album are put together in a hidden track. If quality songs are what you desire, I recommend that you purchase an earlier album. Upbeats and Beatdowns and Our Newest Album Ever contain songs produced for quality before amusement. What makes Five Iron Frenzy such a popular band is their smooth rhythms in addition to their light hearted crazy personality. This band is a must for any ska fans.

awesome awesome awesome ska-punk, March 20, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Proof That the Youth Are Revolting (Audio CD)
wow... that's really all i can say. FIF is probably one of, if not THE, best christian band ever. instrumentally amazing, lyrically phenomenal, and, as only a live album can express, spiritually and emotionally prodigious. that last part is best expressed in the bridge of every new day. the feeling pumping through the ending is enough to blow you away. it will put you in such a extreme reverent state of praise that it is practically indescribable. other well deserved acknowledgements are the stryper cover at the intro of one girl army; a flowery song; dandelions (my second favorite five iron song); and suckerpunch (always a gem). reese roper has distinguished song writing abiblty. just to be fair, jeff did a really good job on all that is good. i highly reccomend this album to ANY fans of ska and/or punk. go out and get this cd. then get all the others! they are all equally fantastic. five iron frenzy has one of those rare capabilties to create 1,000,001 different sounds (3rd world think tank and litmus and combat chuck). God bless you guys... buy this cd!

Best of FIF, November 21, 1999
This review is from: Proof That the Youth Are Revolting (Audio CD)
If I could have only one FIF CD, this one would be it. Where else can you find favorites like Oh Canada, Dandelions, Handbook for the Sellout and Every New Day all on one disk? Not to mention great new stuff like New Hope. Oh yeah, and it's live, which makes it even cooler. Buy it, love it, sing along and get funny looks from mainstream music types. <><
