This one of the best albums (in my opinion) to come out of the falling pop/punk scene. It is because of this album i just got hooked on the*ataris. Though it has its emo side to it, it will still give you your daily dose of punk rock.

Though not surpassing the best ataris album, blue skies..., it would rank #2. It has some of it's dark songs ("road signs and rock songs"; "song #13", and "teenage riot") and the songs to pick you up out of a pit ("up, up, down, down,...", "giving up on love" if you just dumped, and "if you really want to hear about it" even though that song is semi-cheesy sounding). the worst song on the album would have to be "if you really want to hear about it" only because it is the most poppy song on the cd, but hey! you may like it. so...if you are into music filled with emotion, feeling, and just energy, go out and pick up this album. you will not be disappointed.
