5.0 out of 5 stars This release a masterpiece..., April 30, 2004

This is easily Ten Foot Pole's best cd - in fact as far as releases from the entire early to min 90's So Cal releases - this is right up there with the very best (others include 'And out come the wolves', 'Smash' and 'Stranger than Fiction'). Hell what am I talking about, it's in my top 10 albums ever.

Scott is an absolutely amazing vocalist, and on this cd the band are at their tightest - except maybe the split cd with the Satanic surfers. The melodies, background vocals, lead guitar, drums are all perfect. This is one of the few cd's from my past that I still love - and I have over 100 "pop punk" releases haunting me... I can still put this on, close my eyes, and go to a better place. An awesome album to think to, drive to, fall asleep to, get drunk to - and the list goes on.

To the clown that claimed their later albums are better - mate, you need to clean the wax out of your ears. I suppose you think that Offspring's album 'Ixnay on the Hombre' is better than 'Smash'. Rev is an album that defines Epitaph - well before they ventured out - but good on them. It is the essence of true melodic punk rock, strong lyricism,and well crafted songs. It is an album that is timeless. This is a cd that no true music fan (or punk rocker) would burn - you must own this one. Gold. Their album after Rev, 'Unleashed' is really good too, but Rev owns that by far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Punk Rock., February 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Rev (Audio CD)

I don't know about the last two albums by these guys (Insider and Unleashed) but Rev is an incredible CD. Scott sings incredible vocals, with fast guitaring and drums and music that is both straight up punk, with a melodic edge. I seriously recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ten Foot Pole -- the best of the 90's, January 14, 2003

"Rev" is an incredible release. It repesents the pinnacle achievement by bands in the 90's punk revival genre. Ask anyone who is serious about punk music, TFP rev is probably many people's pick for greatest punk ablum of an entire genre -- it certainly is my favorite. Every song on this CD is excellent, fast, straight ahead punchy punk-rock the way it was meant to be played. Scott Radinsky is easily the most talented singer in punk music today. Unfortunately (for TFP) if you want to check him out now, you need to listen to Pulley. After this album, Scott left the band, and eveyone is now annoyed by Dennis' nasaly voice. Great for TFP for making such an awesome CD, easily outshining any of thier newer releases. Don't even bother buying them. This CD wasn't thier first release though, if you can find "Swill" anywhere, pick it up as well as this CD.
