I like this cd. This is by far their greatest album yet. I've never liked No Use For A Name before, but it seems like they are a lot happier than they have ever been. The guitar work is not quite as good as it normally is, but the songwriting is great. About 75% of the album is actually interesting. They've slowed down, and paid more attention to melody in contrast to their older super fast boring music. The guitar parts aren't as good as they have been, but the songs are way poppier than I would have ever expected them to be. This is a good step for this band. If they continue in this direction their next record could really be great.

I always thought they were pretty good and I got into most of their releases, but this CD just blew me away. I was expecting another No Use For A Name record that was pretty good, but everything about this release I loved. This has to be one of the best, if not the best melodic/pop punk album so far this year. Sure we are…Similar sounding releases
