The latest live All and Descendents album prompted me to go back and listen to all of my old Descendents and All cds, and I felt this cd deserved a review. Out of all the All cds, this is the one I never hear of. Its not their best cd but its got some really awesome songs, so I decided to make it my first review for this site. Here is a song by song break down of the cd.
- Self-Righteous: A good rockin' song to start the cd of with, this song is about straight edge people and how their preaching annoys All.
- Million Bucks: One of All's many signature love songs. This song rocks hard and has cool lyrics.
- Uncle Critic: This song is short and fast and pretty uninteresting. Its about the critics who piss them off by always giving them negative reviews.
- Miranda: A slower All love song, pretty generic to the All sound, but hey its All, so its good.
- Not Easy: An allright song about break ups. Sounds a bit to generic.
- Long Distance: Another song about breaking up but much better than the one before it. Definitly one of my favourites on the cd, awesome catchy, lyrics!
- Stalker: Probably the most boring song on the cd, most of the vocals are screamed, which I believe does not work for the band.
- Button It: A cool fast song, with lyrics like "You think you're so cool, You're just a stupid ugly girl, and if I would blow out my brains, I would never have to see your face again".
- This World: A cool slower song, with pretty depressing lyrics. About having no hope for the future.
- Gettin' There: A fast catchy song, about gettin pissed off.
- Breakin Up: Definitly my favourite song on the cd, cool lyrics, cool chorus, classic All.
- On Foot: A pretty stupid song about havin a shitty car. Boring.
- Broken: An awesome song, another one of my favourites, though i'm not so clear what its all about.
- Hetero: This is the only song I have an actual problem with, the lyrics being blatantly homophobic. "Maybe I should pierce my butt, or get a few tatttoos, Maybe I should wear a Dress and be a homo like you. This song doesn't make sense to me as they tell critics not to call them homophobic in "Uncle Critic" but then they write a song like this. Stupid.
- Black Sky: A cool song to close the album with. Slower and somber, but good.
