This cd is simply amazing, the style of their music is unique and it turns out to be very listenable and enjoyable.

Their beats usually consist of a heavy bassline laced with some techno beats. They turn out to be incredibly catchy and suit their music very well rather than just sampling done by most artists nowadays. In their single 'Punkb*tch,' when the chorus/bridge starts the beats start to ramp up and you can FEEL the tempo change. Truly remarkable for a debut album.

Their rhymes, while not on the same level as other rap duos such as Blue Scholars, Gang Starr, or Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth, are entertaining and at times meaningful. It usually varies from shouting/yelling the lyrics to clean singing (which turns out to be very catchy, listen to Punkb*tch). Here is an example of a really good verse by them in the song 'I'm Not Your Boyfriend, Baby.'

(Kill the lights) These children learn from cigarette burns fast cars fast women and cheap drinks
(It feels right) All these asphyxiated, self-medicated, take the white pill, you'll feel alright

This verse is not only a point about teenagers/women nowadays, but kids behavior nowadays. People are really abusive and 3OH!3 is pointing this out and showing that young adults are MESSED UP.

Most of the people who listen to 3OH!3 see them as a comedy rap group, but I see them as something better than that. 3OH!3 is one of the best modern groups I have seen nowadays that actually has SUBSTANCE unlike braindead rappers such as Soulja Boy (see Yahhh) or Lil Wayne.

The best songs on this album are Punkb*tch, Chokechain, Still Around, I'm Not Your Boyfriend Baby, Holler Til' You Pass Out, and Don't Trust Me. All of the other songs are decent, but these all stand out as great songs. While some of the songs were taken from their initial EP (such as Chokechain or Holler Til' You Pass Out), these were the best songs on the EP so you are getting the best from that album along with the great songs on Want for one price.

Check this band out or go see them at Warped Tour when they are in your area, they are amazing live and loads of fun on the stage.

This band deserves the support for their hard work and great music.

I first heard this group three months ago when my 17 year old niece put "I'm not your boyfriend baby" and "Trust Me" on my new iPod. Not having heard of this group, I instantly liked them. Up until recently, I didn't listen to much music w/ three young girls, it seems at least one always asleep. When I purchased my first iPod 3 months ago and starting adding music, I was surprised at what I like these days. 3Oh!3 is definately one of them. For me the beat is catchy but not run of the mill and the lyrics are expressive. Regardless, of what others say, the explicit isn't a problem for me, it works w/ the songs. Can't imagine them w/out them. This is young homegrown group from Boulder, CO. Hence the name 303. Yeah, I didn't get it either at first. Love the sound and have noticed that P!nks new single sounds a bit similar. Gotta go w/ what works right? My fave songs: "Photofinnish", "I Cant Do It Alone" and "Still Around".

I'm sure your familiar with "Don't trust me", but what about the rest of the album? If your expecting the same thing I'm afraid your out of luck, but you won't be disappointed. The entire album flows very nicely. It compliments the mood perfectly. "What mood?" you may ask. Let me put it this way. It energizes the party while simultaneously encouraging scandalous behavior. This album will not let you down, unless your planning family reunion with your Southern Baptist cousins.

This is great music to workout to and also play in your car.

You have the hardcore part of the music and then it is mixed in with a melody that will have you singing along it is a great cd.

If you are looking for different unique music then this is the cd.

Rarely do I find a cd where all the tracks are good. Sadly I do not care for the last two songs but the rest of the album is worth the purchase.

If you only heard "Don't Trust Me" on the radio and buy the album, you might be a little bit surprised. The song sounds punky and rocky, but the album is more like a mix of rap, punk, emo, and rock. That's not to say that it isn't a great album; I think it's my favorite album right now. I can't stop listening to them! Plus, considering it's just two white boys singing rap, they aren't that bad. Yeah the lyrics are a little vulgar for younger kids, but if you're looking for a good band, buy 3OH!3.

disreguarding a couple of songs, a friend of mine put it best, like a popularized version of MSI.

3OH!3 are amazing!!! The songs on this album are fun and awesome! I love every single song and they are all diverse but still have a similar sound. The lyrics are great and the beats are hot. One of my favorite albums for sure!!!!

Bottom Line: Buy this album and discover how amazing 3OH!3 is!!!! :)

I first heard about this band because they are on the 2009 AP Tour with Family Force 5 (another great band). 3oh!3's sound is unique and obviously influenced by a wide variety of music genres. They flawlessly combine elecronica, hardcore rap, and rock - and the combination creates some very catchy songs. I think they could be best described as a combination of Fischerspooner, LCD Soundsystem, Ying Yang Twins, and Metro 7. All in all, if you have a wide variety of tastes in music and enjoy listening to albums that incorporate a wide variety of musical influences, you will love this album!

I used to be an indie rock snob. I read the pitchfork reviews religiously, I even thought about the ratings of the music while I listened to them. In a way it is challenging, but it completely misses the point. Music should be FUN!

This is fun as hell. And the snobs at pitchfork haven't even bothered to review it (god knows they'd slam it while referencing some obscure hip-hop act). Five stars.

I only like two songs on this cd--"Don't Trust Me" and "Still Around"--and the rest of them are just annoying. I would recommend just downloading the songs you want rather than buying the whole cd.
