Title: Almost there, but not quite makin' it
Review: Being a die-hard Ataris fan, I have to say "End" doesn't measure up to their prior albums and EPs. It has several good tracks, especially "Teenage Riot" and "Song 13." But there are also a few nauseatingly cheesy songs, including the "Time of Your Life" ..., "Hello and Goodbye." Old fans might enjoy this CD for what it is, but newcomers should probably go with "Blue Skies, Broken Hearts..." for an idea of what the Ataris are really capable of. To get the full Ataris effect, GO TO A SHOW! They're a lot of fun, always all-ages, and the band is always happy to sign autographs and talk with you.
