3 out of 5 stars yada yada yada.......2007-04-10

I first saw these guys in late 2000. They put on a damned good show. It made me want to check out their stuff. This particular cd was not my first taste of the band, but it's the first cd of the band that I obtained. I enjoyed the addition of the keys on some tracks and hints of programming adding a nice touch of synth pop to some dark rock. Track 3 is just a segue into the next part of the cd. It's quite dark and sad, mood wise. The Piano Song really doesn't fit in with anything I heard from these guys before this particular cd. It was a nice taste of something new from them though, even going so far as to throw a nice tasty morsel of a bluesy guitar solo in there. I've never heard them do anything else like that. All in all, I gave this cd 3 stars. It picks up where Emotion is Dead left off and adds a nicer touch with the programming than on the previously mentioned album. Aside from that, this album has nothing really "new" sounding from these guys. It's a shame they are no longer together. If you enjoy the music, you would have enjoyed the shows.

5 out of 5 stars another wonderful work.......2004-07-29

This EP is a little darker and heavier than EID and UTIAD. I must say that MFAR doesn't sound much like the band's other stuff, but it is still awesome. Brett's lyrics are deep, profound, and nothing like the junk on the radio. If you want music with real meaning, go for this!

1 out of 5 stars Ok, You Can Stop That...Please...NOW.......2003-07-22

Am I the only person that thinks this band is incredibely over-rated. As a matter of fact, I do not think that I dislike a band more than I do the Juliana Theory. The fact that I would rather listen to Good Charlotte or, gasp, a Simple Plan than this garbage is absolutely shocking. I keep trying to figure out who the hell this lead singer Brett Detar guy thinks he is. Obviously, he thinks that he is some big time rockstar and proves this by putting his name next to every song and putting himself way up front in pictures and such. As for the music, it just seems to be layer after layer of poorly played guitars and eight grade poetry style lyrics. I think I heard someone attempt to play a guitar solo on this and it hurt, well, the whole album hurt, but this part especially. To put my review of this album lightly, after it was over I threw the disc out my front door and into the street. Following the throw, I chased after it and twisted it onto the ground with my foot so that nobody would ever have to experience that again. I think this "EP" was thirty minutes long and it has, without a doubt, been one of the worst half hours of my life.

4 out of 5 stars Good, but not the same Juliana Theory.......2003-02-16

Somebody mentioned ealier, how there sound has changed, since "Understand this is a Dream", which is defintly there best album. This is a great CD, but not awesome and worthy of 5 stars. I think Liability is the best track on the album. But this is a must own album.

4 out of 5 stars Smarter than your average bear.......2003-01-08

This EP is the first music that I've heard by The Juliana Theory (not counting a couple of downloads) and I must say I am very impressed. I've read a couple of reviews ragging on this record for its mediocrity, and I say that if this is mediocrity, then I can't wait to hear the rest of their music.

Although the songs are really B sides thrown together, they seem to fit in my mind. They all have an eerie Pink Floyd quality. This association is something I didn't see in other reviews and wonder how anyone could have missed it. The beginning of "This Is The End ofYour Life" sounds so much like Floyd's "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" that one has to wonder if it was sampled. Also, Track 2, which I can't remember the name of could be passed off as a Floyd track to the untrained ear. They even go so far as to invoke the phrase "Bleeding hearts and artists," which is something that turns up repeatedly in Pink Floyd's "The Wall." I want to hear some other talk on this subject.
