5.0 out of 5 stars Most Important Punk Album of the Decade, January 23, 2000

By	Matthew_Ricketts (Chapel Hill, NC United States) - See all my reviews

Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues is hands down one of the monolith albums of punk rock. I honestly can't think of a better album to represent the new school punk movement.

This album has it all: Machine-gun drums, dueling guitars leads and power chord bliss, aggressive bass playing, and an in-your-face singer with more melodies than Top40 radio. There's absolutely no weak song on the album, and with this album, Strung Out has without a doubt set the standard for all other melodic-hardcore outfits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Asskicker!, November 24, 2003

By	T. Harris (Chillicothe, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really am speechless, ..Wasteland Blues is beyond words, it is to great. With a sound unlike anything I have ever heard ..wasteland Blues packs a mean punch, mixing Punk-rock with speed metal and creating a sound which makes you drool. Although, this album tends to lead more towards the punk-rock sound (which isn't a bad thing at all) than there furture releases, this is one of Strung out's best releases to date. Fast, melodic, and very talented ...Wasteland blues should be picked up if ever spotted.

5.0 out of 5 stars All-time # 1, August 1, 2007

By	Meagan Motuz "Mae" (Calgary, AB, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm stoked to see that everyone else gives this 5 stars. 33 PERFECT reviews what else can you say? This is my favorite album of all time. While part of the reason might be the stage of life I was in when I first heard it and the memories it evoked, I am still able to listen to it today and enjoy it just as much. This is a prototype for what good punk music should be. So much talent here that it's hard to describe. The fast, thrashing guitars are able to mix perfectly with melody. Obviously there isn't even close to a bad song but my favorite is "Solitaire". Strung out is by far the most underestimated band around and people who write this off as 'same old stuff' should be shot. This is the best!
