Buy it, buy it, buy it! Best cd you'll own., January 7, 2004
This cd is perfect. I first bought it when I was 15 years old and I thought it was a bunch of worthless noise. Then, after about 5 times through the cd, I started to appreciate how different this band is from everything else in the music world. That was 8 years ago.
Nowadys, if you know anything about music at all, you'll realize they blow everyone else away. Their lyrics are great, drummer is amazing and if MTV would play music that actually takes talent to write, then Blenderhead would have been as big as Blink 182. Thank God I bought it 8 years ago.

One of the Best Albums I've Ever Heard!!, March 31, 2006
I have recommended this album to all of my peers who enjoy rock. This album can be appreciated by a large array of rock fans who enjoy everything from black metal to alternative rock. In my opinion it is the perfect blend of punk rock and metal. As far as lyrical quality, it truly illustrates the rebellious nature of the most socially unacceptable members of Generation X and provides the perfect balance of insatiability and rage. It has a slight brush of social awareness and gives hope to those who would much rather be spectators than followers. I wouldn't skip over a single song- each and every track has a unique message and purpose. I'm very sorry that this group did not go further. This album is truly a classic because it simply cannot be dated because i've been listening to it for years and still have not grown weary of it!

overlooked tooth and nail/ post punk classic, February 5, 2002
This album is amazing. When it first came out, i wasn't much of a fan. this is when tooth and nail didn't put out anything less than stellar, except for (i thought) this album. I have since gone back and listened to it again, and man, i was wrong. this album is an overlooked classic.
Every song is incredible. musicly, these guys are amazing, the guitarists are incredibly creative, playing both hard and soft without being trapped in the confines of indie, hardcore, etc... they've created thier own sound. the drums are played almost as if they're loose and sloppy, but pull the guitars and bassists creative visions together. put this together with bill powers signature off key vocals,and you have an incredible album.
Standout tracks include...well, all of them. my personal favorites are "internalize" (an intense emo gem), "national drug", "bottle breaker"... really, all of them.
blender head managed to put together an incredible sound and style all before most where old enough to hang out in the over 21 bars they played in. the fact that these guys aren't hailed as hero's of post- punk/emo is nothing less than tragedy. if you are at all a fan of post-punk/emo, you owe yourself a listen.
