A Masterpiece
This is with out a doubt the best record HWM put together (I realize its a collection, but come on). To put it simply, this record is a masterpiece. There are no songs to skip, this record can be played straight through over and over again without ever getting stale. The songs are both highly artistic and anthemic, creating the post-punk masterpiece that today's era so desperately needs. This one is worth more than the filthy lucre you will pay for it.


best band ever
My favorite song is never ender because it made me think of the girl i loved alot. i want to say this is a great cd. Also i like to say i would give this cd a 1000 out of 10.


An all-around BADASS package! PICK THIS UP!
Even their newer stuff doesn't rub me wrong, as it seems to have so many others. First- the caveat- this is one of my favorite bands, I admit my bias. . . regardless. . .

If you stumbled onto this (basically a collection of HWM's B-sides) I'm assuming you're a fan of the band. I'm also assuming that you don't have this. A situation that needs to be 'remedied. ' (awful joke)

These tracks easily stand along with all other HWM music. And that's really saying something. Not much filler- There are maybe 3 songs that become a tad too repetitive, churning/screaming. . . for the most part this is all top-notch!

Sound-wise it recalls their style around Fuel for the Hate Game through Forever and Counting, No Division- what most consider to be the 'Golden Age' of HWM releases. The first four tracks are unbelievably good! Straight ahead, balls to the wall, pounding, visceral music (the kind that you don't hear much these days)!

The final handful are longer, more jarring, slanted, less-streamlined, more late-90's local band emo-esque (hate to rely on that worn prison towel of a term but it fits here)- it's a odd divergence and it works for the couple songs that employ that style.

The packaging is superb- tons of artwork by the guy who does all their album art- beautiful stuff, great notes! I just can't say enough about this. If you're a fan of HWM's early-mid material, get this! It won't disappoint. And while you're at it, pick up the Jade Tree switch/single they did with Alk 3 a few years back and another 4 track comp: Moonpies for Misfits! This is band you can't really go wrong with! They'll never steer you off of the rock! .


great great great
basically all this is is a collection of singles and stuff. this album has "the bitter end" which came out on the Leatherface split and is probably one of my favorite HWM songs. it has some of THE BEST HWM SONGS on it. like "alachua", "hate mail comes in august", "us & chuck", "you can take the boy out of bradenton", "the bitter end". . . etc. all these songs are really good and if you buy this record at their shows or from No Idea you can get a free disc/record of demos with it.
this is my favorite collection of HWM songs. it's GREAT DRIVING MUSIC. haha. . . i really do listen to it all the time. i absolutely love it. and of course, fans of the trademark HWM artwork (done by scott sinclair) will LOVE this too.
ROCK ROCK ROCK.


fabulous from beginning to end
i bought this disc a few months back and i still listen to it on a regular basis, i never get sick of it, awesome base lines, a must-have for any fan and if you're not a fan you soon will be.
