5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most over looked albums ever!, February 13, 2002

WOW THIS ALBUM ROCKS!!!!! I saw this band in 1989 and they blew my doors off. The album is a fine example the live feel from the show. From start to finish, catchy songs, hard playing and more guitar hooks than 100 other punk bands could ever produce. Tops in the pop punk style, I wish more pop punk bands could put out an effort as great as this one. Many have tried many have failed. Big Drill Car beat Green Day to the punch, and delivered the K.O.

5.0 out of 5 stars A REAL un-discovered classic!!, January 8, 2002

And I mean that!!
If you're a fan of late 80s early 90s sub-pop/Nirvana guitars and hooks I plead with you to buy this cd.
Great, great catchy 3minute songs, the pick of the crop being "16 Lines", "Clamato #11" and the wonderfull "In Green Fields".
Sadly the bands future releases never reached the hights of this release, so go on treat youself

4.0 out of 5 stars Totally underrated and overlooked., July 7, 2001

BDC would have been millionaires had they surfaced in the Lollapalooza era. Five years ahead of their time, these guys were cranking out the pop/punk/metal before all that stuff you hear on the radio these days. In the tradition of 80's SO-CAL acts like Descendents/ALL, Big Drill Car was making it happen before it was cool. Some senseless lyrics and burmuda shorts (hey, it was '89!) might turn some off, but emo gems like Diamond Earrings and No Need alone justify purchase of this album. If you love long-haired punk rock a la SST, go for it.
