5.0 out of 5 stars Slower doesn't equal sellout....., January 6, 2000

By	Jason Salas (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews

Punk music is known for its aggression and simplicity. People seem to always expect it to be played at 150 mph, and so when a great band like No Use For a Name releases an album that has some obvious alterations to their previous style, people starting crying "sellout" when they simply want to try new things. People, truly great bands are those who like to explore with their sound. And if you really listen to the lyrics, NUFAN has put down some of their most powerful songs to date on this album, especially "Life Size Mirror" and "Pride." Yes, these are two of the slower-tempo songs many of you mentioned. Note that the Sex Pistols did not play at 150 mph in any of their songs, and they were punk in every sense of the term. I would definitely recommend this album to any fan who appreciates addictive melodies and insightful lyrics. S

5.0 out of 5 stars soft and emotional but very good, November 10, 1999

By A Customer

This new album from NUFAN is a little softer and slower than most of their other releases, but it is the best cd to buy that is a little soft and emotional.If you have listened to any of the lyrics to the other NUFAN Cd's you would notice that they are enotional too. It's nothing new. They just have more harmony in this cd. It's like a sing-along cd. something your mom would even like. When I say it's slow thats only some songs I still get a rush out of some of the good build-up's on tracks like 9, 11, 1, they're all good.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Use For Ever!, February 7, 2000

By	Eric (Happy Valley Utah) - See all my reviews

This cd is the best cd you will ever buy. No Use's other stuff is pretty good, but this new cd is punk like you've never heard before, it is so rad! I swear that the second you listen to it, you won't take it out of your cd player. It's awesome. I like how every song has a meaning and you can totally tell that the lyrics are heart-felt. Buy it....NOW!
