4.0 out of 5 stars The best thing to come out of Sweden since ABBA!, August 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Same Old Tunes (Audio CD)

"Same Old Tunes" (originally released as 'Tiny Tunes') is an impressive debut album from one of the best skate/punk/ska bands around, Sweden's millencolin! Right from the start you know what you're in for with "Mr. Clean", an pumping straight forward melodic punk tune, with a wondeful play on the english language in their lyrics, loads of energy and an over-riding feel-good factor.

This energy is carried through the rest of the album and millencolin prove they can pull off some convincing ska tracks such as "Fazil's Friend" and the excellent "Da Strike", all about the band's love for bowling, and which also has a cool saxophone solo!

If you like their later albums, or want to hear a different, refreshing, european approach to SoCal punk, I would definitely reccomend getting this CD!

I have had this cd for about 3 years and i listen to it everyday. i have downloaded every song on it to my computer so i can listen to it on the computer. the first millencolin cd i bought was for monkeys. i got this one next and i loved it. all of the songs are so catchy that you never want to stop listening to it. i have heard all the millencolin cds and this is my favorite. if you have never heard millencolin, then this cd would be a great thing to buy first. if tou are just browsing through somewhere and happen to come across this cd you should buy it. if you are just a hardcore punk rocker that hates reggae and ska, you should still buy this cd because the othere songs will make you love millencolin. in most punk bands the guitarists play pretty easy songs. (i play guitar) but in millencolin. the 2 guitarists are both the best i have ever heard in a punk band. the songs they play are reaslly hard to play. proof? my guitar teacher couldnt play most of their songs. overall the combination of punk and ska make the best album ever made. if you have never bought a punk cd then this is the one to buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just OK, April 14, 2001

This review is from: Same Old Tunes (Audio CD)

Pennybridge Pioneers was the first Millencolin album I bought and I absolutely loved everything about it. The next album I bought was Same Old Tunes. I didn't think it could even compare to Pennybridge. I almost lost faith in Millencolin because of it. The reason why I gave it three stars was because I'm sure those of you who like more of a ska sound instead of a punk sound will like it better. I just bought For Monkeys and I felt that was alot better than Same Old Tunes and just under the quality of Pennybridge Pioneers. For Monkeys is making me look forward to buying Life on a Plate.
