This CD is repetitive and annoying!!!Standouts are Wendy, Sour Grapes, Get The Time (Still sounds like Kids and Hurtin' Crue. . ), Cheer (pleasant, but we've heard this before. . . Why do ALL of these songs sound so damn similar?!).
Worst tracks are Enjoy, Kids, Hurtin' Crue (Why does this have the same annoying melody as Kids?! We JUST HEARD THAT SONG!!!! UGH!!), Orgofart. . . gross!!, 80's Girl (YAWN, majorly. . . ), Green (Skips), Days Are Blood (I'm officially giving up on this band that only knows the same three chords (>_<), Orgo51 (. . . ).
This CD is CRAP. If you listen to this, then fine. Do what you want. But I won't stand for **** like this!!!
I don't think any alternative CD is worse than this one!!! It's gotta be in the 100 worst CDs EVER!!!
1. 25 stars.
Totally awesome dude
I love Amazon. It is so awesome to be able to find and buy the music that you grew up on. com.
one thing to say...
"Sour Grapes" is by far one of the best teen angst songs of all time, right up there with Add It Up by Violent Femmes.
Good band, but.......
The song Days are Blood is kind of boring. This is my least favorite of the SST Descendents albums. Enjoy is one of the best songs on this album, but I think that the Orgofart song wasn't really nessecary to be on this. (same thing as the Days are blood or at least make go faster on the song) If I were you (the customer) get this last (even if it means getting the other albums that aren't from the SST label first). .
Not the Decadence of the Descendents...Please Enjoy!
With fake song titles on the back of the album like "Floater", "Sausage", "Barnacle","Loaf", "Cable Service", etc. At first look the Descendents album Enjoy looks like a joke, but that's only half true I'd say.
There's great serious POP tunes like Milo's "Get the Time", Bill's "Cheer", and the great Beach Boys cover "Wendy". "Get the Time" and "Cheer" standout as some of the Descendents' best girl songs.
This album has a dark edge too dealing from daily routines to greed to the way the girls aren't all they seem to be. The grumpy long almost clocking in at eight minutes "Days Are Blood" is a good Descendents Oddball. . . I actaully like it quite a bit. "The Nights are Blood too!" "Green" is about how people are all about the Green(not weed, but money). "80's Girl and "Sour Grapes" are about the bad side of girls. "Sour Grapes" is one of my fave Descendent songs with the Milo monologue at the beginning.
However, the joke songs are the caffeine pumped "Kids on Coffee". . . it's a wacked Descendents classic that could have fit well on "Fat EP". . . it lasts about 45 seconds. "Enjoy" is the farting song of course which is funny at first then gets ridiculous. . . nonetheless still funny. "Hurting Crue" is kind of a darker song but it's funny("I'm better than You. . . you a piece of poo"). . . it's about a guy who got a 1420 on his SAT. . . which happened to be higher than Milo(IMPOSSIBLE!!). "Orgofart" is the recording of the farts and the laughter as they were doing it. I don't really think "Orgo 51" is anything at all. . . just a creepy instrumental that closes the record.
Very good record indeed. . . it's a must for a Descendents collection or SST collection. The cover is awesome.
