Customer Reviews Not So Great The band has changed a lot depending on how you view them. Ten Foot Pole was better when Scott was in the band. The band has moved away from their raw punk energy that Scott delivered and is trying to appeal to MTV fanatics. If you like Green Day style pop-punk, this is for you. But Bad Religion and NOFX fans should buy Rev instead. Punk is alive! Monotone voices with inane whining lyrics really depressed me about the new music scene, so much so that I refused to buy any new music for years. There are some music styles that make you sweat! Make you want to get up and scream along to the beat! With the advent of Grunge (or Grudge Music as I like to call it) I forsaw the death of "true" Rock 'n' Roll. Then I heard "Givin' Gravity a Hand" and "Plastic. " I just had to know who the heck this band was! I had thought Punk Rock had died years and years ago. (I wasn't what you would call "up" on most of the new music coming out through the '90's) I was dead wrong!!! Ten Foot Pole is the best thing I've heard in years! I even bought a CD! And for me that was a BIG step, being the old school man that I am. (I still prefer albums, but we won't get into that right now) This CD is straightforward, in-your-face, shut up and sweat music! It blew me away! Each song is two minutes of pounding drums and wailing rhythyms! AND the lyrics are pretty darn good too!!! Buy it! Crank it! . . . It's well worth the investment!. They're Back And Better Than Ever! In my opinion, this is their best CD. Wow! I'm a big Ten Foot Pole fan, let me say that right now. If you like LA style punk, stop reading this and just go buy the CD. I really don't know what else to say. Every song is a winner. Ten Foot Pole has, in my opinion, one of the best lead singers in the music biz and he really does a great job on this CD. The band has two new additions and they both breathe a lot of life into the music. The songs all sound really fresh and great. Trust me on this: Ignore the stupid title and go buy this CD. You'll like it. And if you don't, at least you've got a great new beer coaster. . You can see a complete list of all Ten Foot Pole discography, or go back to the Ten Foot Pole tabs
