4.0 out of 5 stars Simply a lot of fun, January 25, 2002

By	Brad (CT) - See all my reviews

This album was a non-serious breath of fresh air that came out right as grunge was taking over the rock universe in the early '90s. How can you not get a kick out of a track like the rocking leadoff track "Neighbor" with lines like "My kid's a punk, and I'm a drunk"? Nothing to be taken seriously here, as in their big hit "Everything About You"--as in "I hate everything about you." Funny stuff for sure. For a more serious track, the remake of "Cats In The Cradle" is a nice ballad (although I'm sure purists who love the original hate it). Besides these three radio hits, tracks like "Goddamn Devil" and "I'll Keep Tryin'" really rock, and "Mr. Recordman" is a nice, somewhat mellow track to end the album. Overall, the album is pretty heavy with not many ballads. If these guys had come on the scene a few years earlier, they definitely would have had a longer, more successful career. They just arrived on the scene with this style of music at the wrong time.

4.0 out of 5 stars I guess some things just can't compete with Blizzard Beasts, February 3, 2005

By	T.D. Ferguson (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

Before you decide whether to call someone's opinion helpful, read their other reviews. This CD was not overlooked in its time and yes, millions of people did in fact buy it. It is incredibly funny and the band is moderately musically talented. The lyrics are inane but the riffs and solos are top-notch.
As far as posterity goes, people will probably not buy a million more copies of this CD in the future. However, they will remember a few songs on it with a nod and maybe a chuckle. That's more than we can say for anything Overkill or Hollowman has produced or ever will produce.

This album is highly entertaining. Good lyrics, good rhymes, funny, catchy tunes, it's got everything. Everytime I listen to it, the world feels like a better place. A real mood uplifter.
