I have a cd collection of over 1000 cds, and I have some serious classics, and this album is definetly in my top 10. They are not like all the punk/emo/hardcore bands (which I really like actually) you see everywhere. They are different, better. Catchy tunes, powerful lyrics, simple and yet perfect songs. Writing a song and filling it with wonderful huge solos, makes the song amazing, if you have the skills, you can do it. Making a simple song with simple chords and simple riffs sound as great as sr-71 does, however, that is what I call the work of a genius. And there's Mitch Allan of course. You just don't expect someone that hot to be that talented.
