| 2.0 poor | Jared Floryan | October 2nd 14 |
Nu metal was starting to see a decline in popularity during the early 2000s, and Sick Puppies were just one of the groups who needed to make sure the genre would rest easy with their debut album Welcome to the Real World. The minority wouldn't bother to eat its content up, sadly, for the album was plagued by corny lyricism, riffage which never tried to push any boundaries, and Shimon Moore's uncomfortability as a vocalist: if his voice wasn't being deemed as bearable enough, then it's pretty much laughable due to the thick Aussie accent. Emma Anzai's groovy basslines are the band's first release's selling point, however, as they occasionally make this overall mediocre offering's tracks catchy to an extent.

| 1.5 very poor | DaveyBoy EMERITUS | April 9th 09 |
This young Australian trio seems to be having some fun and enjoying themselves, but that doesn't always translate well to the listening public. Rock-Rap has not dated well for any band and Sick Puppies were nowhere near the top of the genre circa 2001 when this LP was released. In fact, when a young & immature vocalist with a thick Australian accent is taken into account, 'Welcome To The Real World' ends up being rather cringe-worthy. Recommended Tracks: Nothing Really Matters & Do You Know.
