Not great but good August 20, 2008
At first I gave this cd 3 stars, but now I think it's good eungh for 4 stars. Even if you like Relient K you might not like this cd. But overall I like it.
Good foundational Album January 21, 2008
If you like some of the latest Relient K stuff this is a good album to see where they came from. The lyrics have a 80s foundation, and maintain the Relient K fun factor. One of my kids had a tough time, because it doesn't sound like MMHMM, or Two wrongs..., but we all like it.
 "Even the band admits they hate it." January 10, 2008
When the band made their debut in 2000, you could hear the crickets chirp. The album was evidently written by teens, which is forgivable if you grew up in the 80's, but the rest of us didn't get it. Nancy Drew, Matchbox 20, Marilyn Manson, Back to the Future, Charles in Charge, and 17 Magazine--all referenced in the music--made focal points of the songs. While some are amusing and witty, "`It's three a.m.,' she said. `Who are you Matchbox 20?'"
Other references are irritating and utterly pointless. The vocals lack, and while glimpses of tune are visible, most are simply forgettable. "Softer to Me", the highlight is an edgy rock song that croons the plea, "Life could you be a little softer to me. ... This world is hard, it's cruel, and I wish it could be ... softer to me."
Overall, the album is amusing to a degree, but it's juvenile, and this all but murders the album's good points. Even the band admits they hate it.

Don't get me wrong, Relient K is the best band ever in my opinion, but this is only their debut. Don't judge a band from the cover, check out their newer stuff beginning with MMHMM and I promise you will be amazed. Their 2nd and 3rd album are great as well. I don't know what I could do without songs like "Pressing On" "Sadie Hawkins Dance" "Chapstick" "Moodring" "Forward Motion" "In Love With The 80's" (they really can write some good stuff) but I can do without all the songs on this album and so can Relient K. Matt Thiessen blatantly asked people not to listen to this stuff because this is NOT who they are. They have grown up since this and so have the fans, so do yourself a favor and overlook this album but do NOT overlook the band.

Okay, this is definately not Relient K's best album, but it is great. I like their older songs because they actually say "Jesus" when they're talking to him, unlike in their newer stuff. Anyone who doesn't like them because of religious songs heres wut i say to you, "GO DIE YOU FRICKING CRACKHEADS!!!" hehee that was fun. anyway, yeah good CD and yeah and um....
YEAH!!!!
