5.0 out of 5 stars Return a change of style, but still excellent, June 13, 2000

The Impossibles originally broke up in 1998 and one member, Rory, formed the band 'The Stereo' with another Fueled By Ramen labelmate. The Steroe's sound was very pop/emo influenced, as opposed to the Impossibles' previous work, which could be considered to be ska-core punk. The Impossibles' new CD borrows from The Stereo more than the Impossibles of old, but something totally new is also thrown in there. Return has a highly emo/melodic sound to it, similar to bands such as the Alkaline Trio or Weezer. However, if you listen hard enough, you can tell there are bits of Impossibles still in there, especially in the painful cries, usually provoked by a girl, or the rock solid guitar riffs. The only down side about this album is its length. With Anthology by the Impossibles being over 20 songs long, just 12 songs on a new CD is quite short. Other than that the Impossibles have made a completely successful return, even if their sound has completely changed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock 'N' Roll, June 25, 2001

Being a teenage scenester from Austin, Texas it is mandatory that I listen to the Impossibles. But then again, whats wrong with it being mandatory when the band is as great as they are. Many times when a ska/punk band try's to change their style, they often crash and burn (Goldfinger, No Doubt, even (some songs) scene favorite Less Than Jake). Impossibles, however, take it in a different direction, wheras instead of going completely punk, they added many Emo and Indie rock qualities, and it really works out. Many compare the "New" Impossibles to Weezer, I think this comparison is completely off as it is the most original than any album this reviewer has heard in a good long time. AUSTIN ROCK FOREVER!!!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Glad to see them back, November 24, 2000

I just wanted to say that this album is a must. Even though many have said that this band has changed or lost their touch. This great band from my home town of Austin has finally grown into their own and have explored a new relm of music. I remember watching these kids when they were a poppy punk band called the "Fat Girls" and with many changes have become one of my favorite bands. If you enjoy just a great fun band with allot of energy, check them out. A must see if you are fortunite enough to have these Texas proud boys show up to your town. Keep up the good work and hope you the best. And Craig congrats on the marriage.
