I'm always skeptical of the "return to the top of their game" records, because that's usually NEVER true. I read a fair share of reviews that said that about Rather Ripped, and that didn't work out so hot.

whoever said that is an idiot because sonic youth are almost always at the top of their game WTF

Huh. I thought that this wasn't going to be very good, but I might take some time to hear a few songs from it.

Pennywise has put out Straight Ahead, Land of the Free, From the Ashes, and The Fuse, not including the new album since I've heard it. 0 quality albums. Bad Religion has 3/5 quality albums in the past ten years. I was kind of on the verge of maybe taking your word until you came out swinging trying to say that PENNYWISE at any point was better than probably the most inconsistent era of Bad Religion. Sorry, but the math, and common sense is against you.

Nokturnal Mortum rule.

Eliminator rules. Good review Willie, I liked Land Of The Free so i'll check this out.

The whole Pennywise vs. 5-years of BR is a horrible argument on both sides.

Getting this as soon as I get home. Hopefully I didn't delete my download link.

Agreed.



I'm very well acquainted with Pennywise, but this is my first full album by them. "One Reason" was a bit of a surprise...a good one, though.This Message Edited On 03.27.08

This is just as average as everything they've done since their s/t.

it's ironic that descendents is the one who's trying to end this argument when essentially he's the one who suggested that Pennywise is Bad Religion Jr. and started this argument in the first place.

this argument started a long time ago and it's a universal truth that pennywise is BR Jr.

and I'm willing to bet the new No Use for a Name album is better than this.

i'm being facetious
the lyrics on this really suck
i've heard 2 good songs out of 7 so far, and like 2 awful ones, the rest are alright
i used to love this band and they really have no direction because they know nothing but bropunk or whatever they're playing, and it's the same thing every time
I think the best song is We'll Never Know, and it's probably because it's the most Bad Religion sounding. I mean, it sounds like a Bad Religion B-side.

This new record sounds really great, I just downloaded it for free. I think this is their best one since Land of the Free?.

I liked the sounds of One Reason from your review, so I went and listened to it on myspace. For the first little while I thought I was listening to Cigaro by SOAD.

Wow, I liked it quite a bit when I listened to it. I think it's more technical than straight-foward (like their last albums) but gets a little repetitive through out the entire listen. The bonus track at the end cept me listening (if that makes sense). A few songs are quite mediocre though. It's really not horribly similar to BR, it feels as if that's who their main influence was, but they try to break away...sorry for a review, couldn't help it. :P

I paid money for this CD. Felt like I owed it to the band. Haven't been able to listen to it yet though.



Sean what's up, yeah haven't been able to come on here very often these days, but I would like to write a review for this and the new Millencolin one. It just kind of annoys me that unless you write a review for an album on the day a review for it is allowed to be posted on here, someone else beats you to it.



Anyway, peace.



EDIT: Yeah, about the review... You write well. I guess you're kind of new here because I can't remember seeing you, but you've got 70 reviews or something and you write well, good stuff. I couldn't disagree with you more when you say that Unknown Road and About Time were the best PW albums. The '97-'00 period was their best, for my two Euro cents. This Message Edited On 03.29.08
