Title: why the hype?
Product review: I have been pondering that for a good while. I think this is the 1st real punk record i own that I REALLY dislike. Both the lyrics and the music is lacking. It seems all the songs start out with that Greg guy's annoying voice babbling about God knows what or some stupid sounding guitar jingle at the beginning. See some bands can get away with all the songs sounding the same, which is a very RARE occasion, but the Bouncing Souls get one medicore sounding song (at it's very utmost potential) and somehow manipulate it into generic sounding noise and duplicate it 13 or so times. Maybe some of thier early releases might be better but I'm not gonna take the risk of making the mistake of purchasing something like this again. I've heard this recording all the way through once and I've come to one comclusion : You don't need to step in crap twice to know it stinks.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
