HRC's Peak -- Punk Music That Adults Can Enjoy, Too.......2004-09-11

This album is THE Hot Rod Circuit CD to buy. "Sorry About Tomorrow" is a pop-punk/emo job that has its appeal, but it can't hold a candle to this legitimately emotional, agressive disk.

The music is defined by the lead singer's tortured yet melodic voice (it cannot be considered "screamo," because by definition "screamo" sounds self-satirical and embarrassing) and the constantly blaring lead guitar, which is probably HRC's most defining feature. It's always adding little hooks in the background when it's not doing an all-out solo, and really fills out their sound in an interesting way.

Tracks to sample, if you happen to be interested: "Radio Song," "Supersad," and "The Power of the Vitamins."

It's NOT cool with me... uh uh........2003-10-26

Much better than Sorry About Tomorrow, but not better than much else out there... gave it two stars cause I like the first two songs.

They're amazing.......2002-06-28

I just saw Hot Rod Circuit live, with The Get Up Kids and Superchunk, a few nights ago. They were an incredible band, with lots of energy and talent. The guitarist got really into the music, and the singer put so much effort into his lyrics.
They put on a much better show than Superchunk, or even The Get Up Kids (one of my favorite emo bands). I think this CD is their best, so its definitely worth it. If you have a chance go see them live. Their music is amazing, and they don't get enough recognition for their work.

Just rock!.......2001-11-06

I picked this up after seeing them in Cincinnati in July of '01. The disc has been in heavy rotation since. Filled with eleven rock songs, the only time it lets up on the blistering pace is on the slide-accompanied "This is Not The Time or the Place" and the closing track "What's Left Standing". My current favorites are "Supersad", "Smithsonian Liver", "Cool With Me", and "The Power of the Vitamins".

The album doesn't do justice to their live show. If they could capture that, much like At the Drive-In did on Relationship of Command, I'd have given it a five, no questions asked.

Go see 'em live when they come to your town, and watch out for Casey on guitar, he's a madman.
