5.0 out of 5 stars Jordan's Review of FIF, September 29, 2002

By 

Jordan (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Upbeats and Beatdowns (Audio CD)

I can give you two reasons to run out and buy this CD: A Flowery Song and Milestone. The latter has one of the most incredible guitar solo intros I've ever, along with brilliant lyrics that were crafted by the genius that is lead singer and cheif song writer, Reese Roper. A Flowery Song is a straight-forward worship with rad guitar and even better lyrics. Old West deals with the issue of radical Christians killing in the name of the Jesus and Anthem is a great anti-Patriotic song. The themes range from racism to Diffirent Strokes to praise to how America has gone down the drain. Five Iron Frenzy is one of the second-most versatile band around (the first being the brilliant Jimmy Eat Wolrd) and they have styles for all music lovers. I highly reccommend this CD along with their live CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars FIF is for me!, March 17, 2003

By 

"missfufu" (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews

I love this cd! FIF sounds like "Reel Big Fish" and "Mighty Mighty Bosstones," only better. The Old West, Anthem, Shut Up, and Combat Chuck are the best songs.
I love the sound of Reese's voice, and the brass is excellent!
You must buy this cd!
