Evergreen Terrace blows the doors off the originals on alot of these songs. It's true that some of them don't exactly seem to work with the band's hardcore style, but others like "Zero" are simply awesome! These guys produce an unusually good cover album, which is hard to do, especially with idiots using Classic Rock beats in Rap now...

Nothing beats their cover of sunday bloody sunday", it's just plain amazing. anybody that disses this album doesn't know what great hardcore is.

Ignore the closed-minded opinions of people like "digestin fecess" (doesn't the name just scream "intelligence"?) or others who think that this is a serious release by Evergeen Terrace. If you want to base your opinion of Evergreen Terrace, don't bother with this CD, don't bother with "At Our Worst", pick up "Burned Alive By Time" and thank me later. Evergreen Terrace is a great band but what this album is, is just a release for the FANS to tide them over for the release of their next album. There's nothing new or innovative here, E.T. never intended for this to be a monumental release for which people can revel in it's infinite glory. It's fun, it's simple, you already know most of the songs, and when they play this stuff live, you can finally dance to U2 without looking like a moron... I think... Enjoy!

Evergreen terrace has always been one of my favorite bands. They are one of the few in the hardcore/metalcore scene today who have found a way to make the genre their own. And with "Writer's Block," they have created a cover's album worth listening to.
Eevry song covered on here is a winner. They have found interesting ways to create popular songs, especially on U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday," and Offspring's "The Kid's Aren't Alright". And the hidden track, a meddley of Poison's "Every Rose Has A Thorn" and the Spongbob Square Pants Theme is completely hillarious.

Evergreen Terrace found such a creative way to cover some great songs. I think this album is amazing. If you truly love hardcore you will enjoy the music that has been recreated. Wether it's a depeche mode cover, or a U2 cover. But, do not take this album seriously as to their musical abilities. This was just a quick release for fans to eat up while they worked on their new album....

I love Evergreen Terrace with all of my HXC heart, but this album wasnt as good as i wanted it to be. ET is one of my favorite bands of all time, but i like their originals alot better than their covers. However dont be discouraged from buying it if you are really having an ET craving. A couple of the covers are really good. Maybe im just hating on it because im not a big fan of the originals. Anyway, go pick up 'Burned Alive by Time' if you havent, and if you have, maybe check out these covers on the album:

"Zero"
"Mad World" (My Favorite)
"Maniac"
"Brave Reality"
"The Kids arent alright"

Now I don't agree with some of the articles on how much this cd sucks cause if you like constant grindcore and growling then there is no way you would like evergreen terrace, and covering songs is a way to show appreciation for that artist. On the other hand some of the covers turned out a little weird, like their op ivy cover of knowledge, and for some reason they covered part of bodies by drowning pool in an acoustic, then go into spungebob. okay so that is odd. but there are some great covers on here like bloody sunday, this is by far the best cover of that song i have ever heard. and if you don't agree with me go listen to bad vulture's cover of it. This Cd is though only worth buying if you really like evergreen terrace, If not, let your friend buy it.

All of the songs on here are covers of older song except for the last one "Brave Reality", but please do not let that stop you from getting this CD if you are a fan of Evergreen Terrace. They have done an exceptional job at makeing some good classic songs even better. They still manage to keep that sound we all know, love and expect from Evergreen Terrace. This CD gets better and better everytime I listen to it. It has from Tears for Fears ( Mad world) to Smashing pumpkins and offspring. Its a little sort only having 10 songs but what would you prefer, a CD with 10 great songs or a cd where you only listen to one or two songs then switch cds? Ill let you decide but I give this cd my full recomendation.

I love these guys. They're extremely tallented and they put a spin on songs that are at best mediocre and make them phenominal. I know this wasn't meant to be a huge cd for them, but damn skippy, they did it anyway.

The whole CD is amazing. With covers such as "Maniac" by Michael Sembello, "Zero" by the Smashing Pumpkins and "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2 this cover CD does not disappoint at all. I must say though, that the best song on the CD is the Sponge Bob Square Pants cover after the secret song. Who's with me?
