It's sad as hell to think that these guys called it quits so early on, because one spin of this disc will show you exactly what modern pop-punk SHOULD sound like. The album has a little bit of everything on it - fast stuff (Jolly Roger, Some Lovely Parting Gifts), songs that are seriously way too catchy (Painting By Numbers, I Don't Have A Dancing Problem), good ol' rock (Courting My Soul), and even some guitar/vox-only stuff reminiscient of Against Me!. Vox and lyrics especially are top-notch and quite intelligent in themselves, along with a unique dual-guitar attack that seems to complement everything else going on in the band. Bad Religion would be proud, and I hope these guys come back sometime because they're damn good. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
