Mixed for radio play, this is a very stylized debut with a lot going on for it, though little seems to cohere. This Seattle-based trio has the Das Damen problem: They have good ideas, they're just too young to make them work yet; meanwhile they're not dumb enough (or sure enough in their abilities) to just sit down and write straightforward pop songs. "Redcoats" underlines the basic struggle of this band: the strident, Fugazi-ish vocal delivery in the song's verses doesn't jibe with the herky-jerky, Gang of Four-ten-times-removed rhythms. The song's chorus, meanwhile, is pure pop-punk genius. One hopes that with time, they’ll be able to deliver more than There Will Be Blood Tonight's mostly-pleasant, though often haphazard, collage of emo, punk rock, and New Wave clichés. --Mike McGonigal

5.0 out of 5 stars I'd give it more stars if I could, September 18, 2004

This is an AMAZING CD...after listening to it a couple of times it gets better and better and you always want to hear it playing. I have seen them live-they are a great band to watch. Save it For the Judge is my favorite song, but it's hard to pick a second one because they are all good. This is one of the few CDs I listen to without skiping over a song or two.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent mixed variety, May 25, 2003

A great album. I guess it is classified as alternative rock, but such a narrow genre does not fit this set. It is a unique varied blend of all types of rock. Hearts for handlebars is a great track, as is save it for the judge.

The Divorce are absolutely amazing. They're the best rock band to come out of seattle in forever. They're stage energy is the best ever and they're songs are the kind that you can definatly listen to over and over again. They are one of my favorite bands and I've watched them get better and better over the years. The Divorce write amazing lyrics and the tunes are totally catchy and i couldn't praise them enough.I recommend anyone who wants to support local Seattle music or who just likes rock to totally get the album and love it.Also check them out live becuase they're even better.
