4.0 out of 5 stars totally sweet, September 27, 2004

This cd is great. I live in chicago and saw the honor system at one of my first real shows ever, but didn't hear anything recorded until much later. It's more chill than the broadways, but with a very thoughtfull sound. Get it, you won't get sick of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars good, but compared to the broadways-, December 2, 2001

By	chris lea (boerne, tx) - See all my reviews

it just doesn't stand, much like the lawrence arms albums. if you took the best songs by both bands and combined them on one lp, it still wouldn't even equal a broadways album. the honor system is dan's band, and is a lot more layed back and polished sounding. i can't think of one aggressive part on this whole album however, and the lyrics aren't as motivating. it's essential to any broadways/slapstick/tricky dick/lawrence arms fans, but not for the uninitiated.

Stirring and sincere lyrics. An amazing execution of musical connection between all the instruments (particularly the guitars) and simply a consitant work of art. Personally i dont think there are any downpoints in the entire cd. the only thing that gets to me is that everything sounds like it was recorded in the same day in the same studio with the same sound effects, so though the songs rarely repeat any parts of themselves (which i love about the broadways, etc.) the sound of each song is evident in the next song. Punk? in attitude, and that's all punk really is anyways, (and dont listen to that guy - they dont sound like foo fighters at all) to me they simply sound like the broadways on a less agressive, more mature level. THough i dont like it as much as the broadways - (for their sheer brillance in captivating an audience) this is an excellent purchase. peace.
