This isn't a punk record. It's a lot darker. You can hear the beginnings of Blink 182's self-titled album in here.

I know it's different, but I love it. Travis barker does an excellent job with a lot of new rhythms and drumming that keeps you into the music. The lyrics are real, and if you've had some experiences, they can really take you over.

Lots of people dont like this just because it isn't punk, and it isn't what you expect from Blink 182. But with Mark coming in for vocals, and even Tim Armstrong, a punk legend, joining in, this should be taken seriously.

So let me tell you: this is a great cd. at first i got this one for the song "Letters To God" but after hearing all of it, it blew me away. Seriously this is some great music by great musicians. go buy it. shame that Boxcar Racer isn't around anymore.

I know that this is not the most respected band in the punk rock community but you cant deny that this cd fucking rules. This is a guitar players dream. I had this cd burned since its release then it got scratched but i missed it so much that i ordered the original. The album is catchy, powerfull, and loud. All in all a great fucking disc! I give it a four because im a tough fucking reviewer and i believe that only life changing albums deserve five stars.

This CD is awesome. It is sooo much better than Blink 182, and the lyrics are like 200% better. The music and lyrics are much darker than Blink 182 and they still have Tom and Travis. You can't really go wrong with any of that. I wish BR would release another CD but I doubt they will.

This CD is pretty good... Most of it sounds like Blink, since Tom sings almost every song... But the songs are all a lot more serious than Blink... The best songs are "There Is" and "Letters to God"... Anyways, everyone should buy it

Ok cd. If you like a lot of slow stuff like I feel So and songs like Stay Together for the Kids, u'll like this. Also good because Mark is in one of the songs.
