This CD combines the Descendents first 3 releases: "Milo Goes To College", the "Fat" EP, and the band's first single (which is Milo-less). Since "Fat" and the first single were combined on the "Bonus Fat" release, I guess "Two Things At Once" is a fine title. Anyway, this is a classic release and if you ever planned on buying anything by the Descendents, make sure this is it. The music on here set the standard for virtually every pop punk band that has existed since 1982. "Milo Goes To College" and "Bonus Fat" are also available seperately on CD from SST but why buy 2 CDs when you can get them both for the price of one?

These two albums are among my top 5 (I'm counting them as one though!) Songs about being a regular joe and tribulations of growing up; girls that you dig but don't dig you, dreams of assimilating with the normal american families, family tension, and clean fun. Punk without the politics and the fashions that make it weak. A collection of good summer time tuneage. Like early bad religion, black flag, or adolescents? You'll enjoy this.

how can you possibly go wrong here? milo goes to college is one of my favorite descendents cds, and bonus fat has some gems ("i like food", "weinerschnitzel"). if i didnt already own these cds, i would be all over this incredible deal.

Milo goes to College is quite possibly one of the best punk albums of all time. The Fat cd that is also included on the album is interesting because it shows where the descendents were when they started and where they progressed to by the time they recorded Milo.

This has got to be one of my favorite punk CD's of all time-so many unforgettable songs to choose from. I went to the music store and brought this one pretty much on a whim-I figured I would get two releases for the price of one. I have probably had this CD going on ten years now and I can still listen to it and love it just as much as the first time I heard it. It is a complete classic-from the beginning to the end-it is so catchy, intense, and melodic. If this CD does not get you moving, nothing will. This is definitely a good CD to start off a punk collection with-highly recommended.

dude, if you don't have this, you're blowin' it. milo goes to college is the best record by the best band ever. the other stuff is just a bonus cup.

As of 5/7/11, this download is the same price as Milo Goes to College. If you are a fan of the Descendents, just buy this to get more punk for your buck. You get the whole Milo album plus the Bonus Fat and a single. What else is there to say?

All I can say is a great album... I lost the CD Milo Goes to College, and two things at once just makes sense....

The descendents were one of the only reasons I made it through high school. Two things at once is a great overview of the Descendents first few years. Its actually three things because it also includes their first 7" single "Ride the Wild". The themes are your typical teen fodder but the magic of the Descendants is they make them matter. Loser was my theme song and when it comes to love matters Myage and Hope really sum up all the frustration that come with dating (or the lack thereof). All in all a seminal peice of punk rock that is a must own.

The Descendents are a good band, I think that the SST albums are better than the other 3 CDs that came out on other labels. I would get this as the first of the albums. even though this is good, I think the best one is definetly I don't want to grow up.
