Can't spend a winter without it!
Every winter, I feel like listening to emo, and one of my favorite emo albums is this! Mass Pike and Anne Arbour are especially my favorites, and i can't imagine spending a winter without them!.


Packs a Punch
I bought this cd like 2 1/2 years ago and finally got around to reviewing it along with all my favorite cds. This little cd gave me a karate chop to the spine. This cd has only 5 songs but they are some of the greatest songs I have ever heard. This cd has amazing repeat listening value. It is a little faster (more punk than emo but just barely). I would recommend this to any punk fan trying to ease their way into emo. Anne Arbour may be the most beautiful song I've ever heard. Red Letter Day is probably the first song that hooks you though. If you like this, you may like Fairweather.


Good but only for harcore fans
P. The Get Up Kids second E. "Red Letter Day" is good but there is no sense in buying it unless you are a hardcore fan. Red Letter Day was alos released on a double E. P. ("Red Letter Day/Woodson" which has both of the Get Up Kids E. Ps on it for practically the same price as purchasing one of them)and the actual song Red Letter Day is on their second album "Something to Write Home About". I don't understand what is so great about this song that we have to be forced into listening to it on 3 of the five Get Up Kids CDs. If you want some better Get Up Kids songs listen to "Valentine", "I'm a Loner Dottie, A Rebel" and their first single "Action and Action". Music from the their first album is great too but nothing compares to their second L. P.


The Epitomy of Good Music
Forgive and Forget is replete with awsome guitars and drums while Anne Arbour is strung out with thoughtful lyrics. The Get Up Kids Red Letter Day [EP] delivers some of the band's best songs. Mass Pike combines bells and drums to provide a funky intro then goes into a sonic assault of power chords, drums, bells, and even strings. Anne Arbour is probably my favorite song on the EP. The songs are simple, yet pack a quasi-punk/emo punch that is definitivly Get Up Kids style. The lyrcis are simple at times, but they are still good, and contain verses that everyone can realate to. It took a few listenings to get into this one, but then it became a seasoned veteran in my CD player. If you are looking for something new, and haven't checked out The Get Kids yet, this CD can definetly start you out on the right track. If you like the Get Up Kids, you should aslo check out Jimmy Eat World and Alkaline Trio for some awesome music too.


anne arbour and mass pike.
all the songs are great, but anne arbour is my favorite get up kids song ever and mass pike is a close second. only the title track of this cd is on "something to write home about" that song is amazing. beautiful. if your a fan of thier other stuff buy this cd. if you dont like them, download anne arbour and mass pike. alright thats all.
