Face to Face is a truly original band, and this album seals the deal. The best songs are the ones that are the most surprising -- "What Difference Does It Make?" and "That's Entertainment". Imagine, F2F covering The Smiths and The Jam! I love these guys!

Face to Face is always full of suprises. You never know what they will do next. I think it was good that they came out with this album, because it gives fans a new taste of what Face to Face is capable of doing. This album will also bring in new fans. Personally I think that the song "The sunny side of the street" is their best song on this album. I also think they did a really well job on "What difference does it make" and "Thats entertainment." There are some parts on the album where Trevor hits some high notes, which is somthing you never hear on a face to face album. But overall I think they did a very good job on these cover songs.

just because you dig face to face doesnt mean youll like this. i rushed out to get it the day it came out and was rather dissapointed. i wasnt excepting the world from a cover disc... but hey, it is face to face. anyway, they cover cool songs, but dont cover them well. trever sounds off key in a bunch of these (hmmm check out the inxs track) and for the most part they are just plain hard to listen to. now, mind you, some are tasty like chesterfield king... but frank would be pissed about planet of sound. check this one out before you buy.

Excellent covers, was a birthday gift for my daughter she is enjoying it very much. If you like Face to Face you will like this CD. Bought the CD used, but it was in excellent condition. Very happy with my purchase.

I've been a fan of Face To Face for a long time, and Standards and Practices is awesome add on to my Face To Face collection. They do an excellent job covering some of the great classics.

This is an over all good cover record. "What Diffrence does it make" Is the best song they covered in my view. I am a little biased, because My favorite band is The Smiths. This is a good record. Really polished and clean. I just wanted a little more from Face To Face. This is a really good cover record.

This album is a very good, great cover musics from past decades... good ideia of guys of face to face.
great simple!

this band can do no wrong. they are so damn original and they dont give a damn what anyone thinks. so many bands have ripped them off its scary...now to the review...the songs they picked are just a testament to great taste and they do them all justice, from the ramones to psych furs to sugar to fugazi and of course the smiths, pixies, pogues and jawbreaker...i mean come on!! they dont go for stupid wacky covers ala mxpx, new found whatever and me first and the idiots. they cover great songs by great bands and prove once again that they are in a class by themselves.

I remember I was really excited about this disc before it was released--I adore Face to Face--but it turned out to be pretty disappointing. Just not impressive in any way, shape or form. There are a couple of gems, the Sunny Side of the Street cover is good, and I enjoyed The KKK Took My Baby Away, but overall, this is among the worst cover albums I've ever heard, and definitely the worst Face to Face album.
