Published on July 29th 2001 Wow! I am SO impressed with this album. After recieving a Borders Gift Certificate, I went to the store, looking for a good CD, I wanted a Boy Kicks Girl CD, but I couldn't find ANYTHING I wanted. Then I stumbled upon this album by The Get Up Kids, I had remembered a few songs I had previously heard by them and liked, so I bought it. I didn't really expect much at all...I just figured i'd get another regular old punk album that works as good background/mosh-with-yourself music...but I was sure as hell wrong. The energetic tracks of this album get me pumped, but the softness of some tracks are purely nice on the ears. The lead guitar kicks ass almost as much as the singers cute sounding voice. The lyrics are awesome, and each track is just...too damn kool. My favorites are "Don't Hate Me," and "Stay Gold, Ponyboy," they just...blarg, they're so amazing. If you wanna get a cd, or even if you don't want a cd...just fucking buy this!!! It is one of my new favorites!!!
CD's great qualities: ...and there are a lot more, so just...buy it.. People who liked this also liked:           Please login or register to post comments. What are the benefits of having a Punknews.org account?
One of the best CD's from the Get Up Kids. The All Star Ep was the best. But this one is amazing as well. Too bad they suck now. Heh, I don't own the album but I have dl'ed most of the songs and I think they're great. using the word "gay" is not homophobia. it is immaturety...-fathead yea the get up kids are incredible...all of their albums are good...the new one "eudora" which is a collection of unreleased tracks and rare songs is probably their best though ...but jukeboxbully you are one of the fuckin stupidest people...kool punk riffs? kool lead singer? kool lead guitar? singers cute sounding voice?...you are a douche bag...go and buy a boy kicks girl album, you queer. The album was "remastered" and re-released by doghouse and put in a different cover. That's why it looks different. What the fuck? The album is kickass, but I didn't get that cover of the album. What's the deal with that? toally not KOOL review, get up kids are so punk too...lame ass I like the Get Up Kids' music a lot. Mostly their newer stuff, but that's not the point of this post. I don't know, I kinda like Kool Keith, 'Dr Octogon' is a pretty decent album. If you're like me and sick of the same old bullshit in hip-hop, Kool Keith is a welcome change. He's not as lame as the DMX idiot. It kinda pissed me off at Warped how all the kids flicked him off and chanted "Fuck You". If you don't like him, thats fine. But don't be a prick to someone trying to bring a little diversity into scene that is hard enough to get respected in. thank you JukeboxBully kool keith is a spacy/random rap artists who sucked up the stage at warped tour. i listened to a couple of his album tracks a long time ago on napster and they were pretty cool, and i was expecting something pretty cool at warped tour, but man, he really stunk. jurassic 5 is way, WAY better. one- no "gay" useage over here, thats just not kool oh yeah just one more thing i bet everyone is goin to call me "gay" or "fag" now right? havent heard this one yet so i duno if its good i just wanna say, why is everyone calling one another "gay"? what the fuck? is everyone here homophobic? get up kids are pretty gay I completely LOVE Get Up Kids. Something To Write Home About is one of my all-time favorite CD's. But I hate this CD. It's awful... All the songs sound the same and the recording quality is so terrible you can't make out a thing. Why can't I like this? If you bought "Something to Write Home About," well then i'm sorry. You should've definitely bought "Four Minute Mile" or "Woodson", those two were on Doghouse not Vagrant. Those cd's are as slow and mellow. 4MM is a really good cd to have if you get in those kind of moods where you don't want anything fast-paced or hard. If you haven't already checked out GUK, start with "Four Minute Mile", otherwise you won't really like them. a review is not a story about how you bought the cd. also the spelling of "kool" conjures up images of kool keith. whoops, i forgot to sign my post, so here it is again. the get up kids fucking suck! for the longest time, all i heard was "man, you have to check out the get up kids" or "the get up kids are great man, they're super talented and they can rock hard" so i bought "something to write home about" expecting something miraculous and what i got was one of the worst cd's i've ever payed for. never had my expectations been so high and then fell so far. fuck this band and the crappy emo-pop they rode in on- fathead The reviewer gets a 10 for his name. I still haven't decided if I like the Get Up Kids. The can rock but other times they just whine too damn much. This album has great songs on it but the production quality sucks. It sounds like it was recorded in a cave; too many sounds get blurred out. They re-mastered it and it sounds a little better but not nearly as good as the new stuff (or the first EP for that matter). Yeah...hes right how can something be too catchy...this CD is very good. This is what got me into this band. These guys hate being called emo. How can something be too catchy? |
