ONE OF THE BEST IN MY ALL/DESCENDENTS COLLECTION!!! - It s hard to put something that hasn t already been said by those before me.If you are just getting into ALL, I recommend this release over others such as Percolator.This has some of my favorite ALL songs, Fool, Scary Sad, Man-O-Steel, She s My Ex, and of course the epic CARNAGE!!! This album is very emotional, melodic, and definately my favorite Scott Reynolds release.This is definately in one of the top ALL/Descendents releases.-Kurt Isobe. WORD IS BOND!!!
Ahh, high school - I loved this album in high school, and I still get the same thrill every time I put it on. I was a Descendents fan, but this is somehow even better. Scott Reynolds was the best of the many lead singers for All for no other reason than he just fit, you know? A few years ahead of their time, as proven by the success of Green Day et al. A perfect album for a sunny day in the car remembering times gone by. She s my Ex and Mary are the standouts, but the whole album is terrific.
this one will never grow old - This is by far the best All album ever made in my opinion. Songs like Mary and Carnage make me nostalgic. This album as well as their others got me through all the crap I had to go through in my 20s, and now that I am 30 (oops, did I say that?) I still enjoy it as if I was in my youth. Music keeps us young, and thank you All for being a party to that. !!!
Wow..I ll never understand... - I will never understand how bands like Blink 182,Good Charlotte and The Offspring sell so many albums and a fantastic band like ALL have a hard time scraping together money for cheeseburgers.Catchy,eccentric,and just a tad sarcastic in its execution,Allroy s Revenge should have been the album to introduce the world to punk,not Nirvana and Green Day.Of the 14 songs on display,I think my personal favorite is Scary Sad,a sardonic and sorrowful look at the love in 89 or 05.She s My Ex is an eloquent ode to heavy on the stomach angst which never goes out of style.I myself like sleeping in,so obviously I enjoyed Copping Z s.Now honestly who among us hasn t wondered what can I expect from the years ahead at least once a week?I loved their sloppy and quirky cover of Hot Rod Lincoln,as well as the ALLways required love song Mary.This album is perfect in every way.Why Green Day got popular and ALL can t scrape together pizza money is beyond me..
Definitely Their Best - Have you ever heard I love Descendents, but All suck or words to that effect? This is the record that SHOULD shut said jerks right up, but somehow they never seem to get it. I find it quite reminiscent of Milo Goes To College, right down to the tracking and pace(except this one opens with an instrumental, and you can throw a good dose of the dents All record in too). Bittersweet pop and neurotic schizophrenic jazzy punk(and a little metal, even reminiscent of Van Halen:Copping Z s), you can t go wrong. Could use a remix and remastering-check out the greatest hits All cd and you ll hear why. If you re gonna get one All album, this is the one.
