4 out of 5 stars strait up alternative rock.......2003-11-13

This cd is about as straight forward as alternative rock gets. Hard driving, melodic, well produced. This isn't the most original cd I've heard, but the combination of styles is done, very, very well. The influences here are obvious, but no one band shines through in the fighting jack's style. You can hear bits and pieces of the foo fighters, rival schools, a tiny bit of sunny day real estate, embodyment, and a surprising inclusion of a bit of a much underated band once known as puller. This cd is done quite well. It starts to lag a bit around track 9 when the customary slow songs kick in, but the overall length of the cd makes up for it. If you like alternative rock, I doubt you will be disappointed by this cd.

5 out of 5 stars certianly impressive.......2003-10-28

Born from San Jose, the Fighting Jacks are slowly but surely making a name for themselves in the music world. This is a solid album; it has many layers and not linear like many indie bands are these days. The lyrics are insightful and the singing fits the music gracefully. I saw them live last week (in SJ) and they can certainly rokken roll. The tracks have yummy melodies but intense and grinding drums and guitars that you can headbang as well as sing along to. The songs have pretty good buildup and keep you interested.
