if you have never heard fifteen i pity you. you truly do not know what you are missing out on. incredible, heartfelt, personal, political lyrics with great stiff little fingers like aggressive punk rock. this is actually a compilation of the 'swain's' lp and their first 7" on lookout!. i own almost all of the 15 albums and this is my second favorite next to buzz.

The feeling this album produces is akin to taking the East Bay, leaving it out in the sun for a couple of weeks to dry up, then rolling it up and smoking it. Everything is here--from the high school art class album cover, to the vulnerability that we all feel, to the idealism that dreams and teenagehood are made of. This record is a classic.

A great song by Fifteen, while not necessarily a rare moment, but when it's had, like the opening track "Intentions" it gives you reason to believe these guys are capable of writing some of the most intense, inspiring slabs of pop punk we've heard. "Intentions" is such a song. A song that justifies a whole album that doesn't need justification - because it's uniformly good - blisering, raw politically minded punk rock. But "intentions" is one of those songs that you remember because it is one of the few that actually cut to the nerve - that changes lives. That inspires. Listen to the lyrics. The choppy guitar. Those intense vocals. Get blown away. This Fifteen's finest moment.
