5.0 out of 5 stars The Pinnacle of Human Evolution, December 22, 2000

By	David Fergusson (PG, BC CAN) - See all my reviews

This is what the aeon upon aeon of human development has come to. All of the Mozarts, Beethovens, Einsteins and Saulks have been working towards THIS. TFEOD is an accurate view of the human psyche and all of its complex innards. It is a Mona Lisa; it is a Sistine Chapel; it is quite possibly the best piece of artwork ever developed by human hands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hey kids, what do we got?!, September 13, 2005

By	Venturing - See all my reviews

Don't listen to any kids who say "Fashion Zombies!" is The Aquabats' best song. Just tune them out immediately.

I adore The Aquabats. Christian (The MC Bat Commander) said that this album was different. He wasn't lying, though I sort of discredited him at first considering he threw up rotten half-and-half all over some kid named Todd thirty seconds after he revealed in the brilliance of this album.

This album is an exploration into a whole new world for The Aquabats. If you've been a fan from the start, or just plunged into their world recently, be true to them and get this album! It's fanatastic! They have their insane, crazy songs, and some serious, meaningful songs that absolutely take my breath away. Case in point, "Hello, Good Night" is a gorgeous song about death, life, and finding meaning in what you have. It's so different for them, but they do emotional lyrics in a way that's totally their own, but also so easy to relate to.

Another amazing song on this CD is "Chemical Bomb", which holds deep insight to the fate of this world.

Looking past that, my favourite song is on this CD, "Lovers Of Loving Love". The Aquabats do love songs right! Fun, sweet, adorable, and absoultely lucious, I am in love with this song about being in love. And tasting cherry chapstick, ahh, ahh, ahh.

And wow, the cover art and inside booklet are so amazing and fun. I love to look at the art and the super rad photos. All of the lyrics are included with this CD, unlike some of their other CD's where in I had to look online to decode what Christian was screaming.

I don't know if ska fans will enjoy this, considering I like The Aquabats, not ska. But if you like good music, or you love The Aquabats, then this is for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled by the foolish!, December 5, 1999

By	"solid-synch" (Beautiful Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews

This album has everything you should expect from an Aquabats release, great tunes and great humor. It proves that our heros can be multi-dimensional without sacrificing the things that made we kids Aquabats fans in the first place. Exactly the things you should expect from any band by their third album. If you want a band that does the same old stuff album after album listen to Journey. Ignore the denizens of evil who want their favorite bands to conform to their own limited, selfish perceptions. Their parents probably booed Dylan when he went electric. This is a great first album for new kids, and a great, fresh collection for older ones. Check out theaquabats.com for tour dates supporting this release. These guys are just getting better and better.
