You cant even listen!!!!
You cant even listen to the Demos to find out if there good!!! i cant even listen to the song like "You Dont Know" or even "Take on me" THIS ALL IS BULL****.


Not as good as previous albums, but still satisfying
It is true that it isn't as good as the previous albums, but then again it's different from the previous albums. "Why do they rock so hard?",the follow up to "Turn The Radio Off" by Reel Big Fish was entertaining to listen to. RBF seemed to mellow down on most of the tracks this time around, but at the same time didn't loose their edge. Tracks that made this album kick were "Somebody hates me", "Shes famous now", "The Set up (you need this", "I want your girlfriend. . ", "The kids don't like it" & "Down in flames". Pick this one up if you like Reel Big Fish and own the previous albums, but if you are a first time buyer check out "Turn The Radio Off".


A Must Buy For Anyone
You will instantly love it. If you aren't a Reel Big Fish fan, buy this CD. If you are a Reel Big Fish fan, then what are you waiting for? But it! This CD rocks. There are plenty of awesome songs, like Somebody Hates Me, The Set Up (You Need This), and definately Down In Flames. My favorite is Down In Flames. It has to be one of the best songs Reel Big Fish has ever done and is one of the best ska songs! it is very catchy, it is not 2 minutes long (try 4:49), and it takes seconds to fall in love with it. Slightly better than their other album "Turn The Radio Off", it is just a rockin' CD. But, it still has its "ok" songs that you might skip when listening to it. This is why I couldn't give it 5 stars. But this is NO reason NOT to buy it -- about 90% of the music on this CD is ska-punk goodness that you'll eat right up!.


Great CD, But have give it time
Now, I'm quite glad that I bought it. When I first bought this cd I thought it sucked. This cd is much differant than the first. It has more of a rock/punk feel to. Aaron's guitar has done a wonderful job of becomming the main source for music. The horns still exist, they just take a backseet in this cd. The bass follows the same path as the horns which sucks cuz I love the bass. If and when you buy this cd, you must listen to it a few times. Don't give up just as soon as you hear it. After a while the first five songs grown on you. Then the hidden track comes alive. It is quite funny yet not quite appropriate. The parental advisory sticker is nessacary due the number of times they say the "f" word. All in all, it is an awesome cd. Just give it time.


They only sorta rock hard
d. I'm gonna review this c. in two parts the first and second half of the c. d.

1rst half. Man this c. d. kicks bum the songs are catchy,fun,and good to hear. Reel Big Fish is a great ska band. Tracks like Brand New Song ang I Want Your Girlfriend to be my Girlfriend to are catchy and make you want to bust a move.

2nd half. Well this sucks. The tracks have all gone from catchy to wha?Their just not good and the hidden track is sensless rambeling. What happened to the good stuff?

So as you can see it starts off great and kinda slides downhill.
