You don't need a single other album.
If you don't listen to it every day of your life there is really no point at all in living. This is the finest music ever record by human beings.


I said Yeah! Well I'm alright.
Then I put it on. When I bought this in '99, I saw the sunflowers and the title, and thought that they were just making fun of mopey, "sensitive" emo bands, and that this'd be just another weasel album. In light of the the subject material, the album title is sorta like where it says "Beer" on a beer can. Bark Like a Dog is one of the best last songs on an album that rock has ever seen. Feel free to scream along with it. Don't buy this album if you don't wanna feel. Ben Weasel weaves his tale of regret, apathy, persecution, and frustration, then reminds you that there is reason to care. And did I mention that as songs, all the tracks are great, raw, and exciting? buy this.


Masterpiece
The lyrics are heartfelt and thought provoking while the music is raw and mid-paced pop punk that compliment each other perfectly. Emo is a Punk Rock classic. If you don't have this record get it, you won't be sorry.


"IT CAME TO ME LIKE BULLET TO THE HEART..."
LYRICALLY, THIS ALBUM TELLS THE STORY OF A LIFE THAT WE'VE ALL EXPERIENCED AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER AND BEN WEASEL PERSONALLY SUMS UP THE WAY WE ALL WISH WE COULD EXPRESS THOSE EMOTIONS. THIS MAY BE ONE OF THE FINEST ALBUMS EVER RECORDED BY ANYBODY IN THE HISTORY OF PUNK MUSIC. THE MUSIC SHOWS THE INFLUENCES AND THE RAW/LIVE FEEL, NOT SEEN IN A WEASEL ALBUM IN MANY YEARS. THESE TWELVE TRACKS ARE FILLED WITH INTENSITY AND WILL HOPEFULLY SOMEDAY BE CONSIDERED PUNK ROCK CLASSICS. A NECESSARY ALBUM FOR YOUR COLLECTION.


top notch punk
Similar to Lagwagons early move from metal riffs to more melodious punk and quality lyrics. Wow, what a change. . . this album is not what Screechin Weasel originally set out to do, and probably alienated a bunch of fans in the process. . . but damn is it a change for the better. They traded catchy choruses and humour for gut and emotion. Punk rock at it's best.
