well, they did try it was way to synthy for me and they butchered teh lyrics, but thats me!. i bough this cd after losing the letters to write home about cd(or whatever you call it) and it sucked.
Can I give this 8 stars? 5 is simply not enough.
And, as a fan it is really nice to have the b-sides, compilation tracks, import only tracks, and covers brought together, so as to avoid extensive searching. I must say, in writing this review I am unwaveringly biased, in my own humble opinion everything this band touches turns to gold.
This album houses some of TGUK's brightest moments. There is an insanely distinct variation of moods and melodies on this album and some of the stand out tracks, and my personal favorites are: Up on the roof, (Cure's cover) Close to Me, Sufrogate City, Alec Eiffel, Impossible Outcomes, Shorty, and On with the Show.
Impossible Outcomes is one of my favorite songs of all time, it transcends so many different qualities i yearn for in music and does so flawflessy and effortlessly. The vocals seem to float above the melodies yet have a seemless integration that makes me shout this chorus whenever and wherever the track graces my ears. I would spend 15 dollars just for this song, and with that purchase you get 16 other rockin joints for free. . . . so, leave now and don't return until you own this album.
TGUK - rock my socks off since 8th grade
i'm graduating this year. and wow. that's got to tell you something. ever since I have heard then on the Lazer Local Music show. . . Yeah. Back when they were local to NE Kansas. Wow.
Anyhow, I have all of the Get Up Kids. I even have some of their 7" records. Even though I've never listened to them. I don't have a record player.
But, this CD was awesome. It was nice to hear all those songs which I could never hear before. Like I said, The Get Up Kids have been my favorite band since the eighth grade. And this CD was a great compilation of all the years. Hopefully, they'll get big and make a whole bunch more CD's and I can live in harmony for the rest of my days, yay.
best cd by get up kids
This cd, Eudora, is the best cd get up kids have ever come out with. First of all, everyone that listens to the get up kids is awesome. Although four minute mile and something to write home about are also good cds, this cd is the best. it is one of the few cds i can play through without skipping songs. My favorite songs on this cd are close to me, forgive and forget, beer for breakfast, Alec Eiffel, the breathing method, and of course. . . on with the show. if you like the get up kids, let me reccomend some other bands.
1. The used (like thursday, but they scream a lot more)
2. thursday
3. further seems forever
4. alkaline trio
5. Saves the day
6. Juliana theory
there are many more, feel free to e-mail me. . .
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST GET UP KIDS CD!!
hope this review was helpful,

Sincerely Feelings
Their covers are just beautiful. Well, I see everybody saying a lot of bad things about this record. . . especially when they transform eletronic based musics like New Order's Regret and Cure's Close to me. . . the way they just made with guitars. . . its awesome. . . and what I like the most in this record, and probably in the band. . . is the way they express feelings so well. . . in Forgive and Forget. . . Shorty. . . Central Standard Time. . . . Im a Loner Dottie a Rebel. . . it's all good. . . . and even the slowest ones like Newfound Mass and The Breathing Method can keep u up. . . it surely worth every penny u spent on it. . . and if u dont have it. . . what r u waiting for?.
