Their fifth album, Get Behind Me Satan is the strangest and least focused effort by these unlikely garage rock superstars to date. It's also their finest, an Exile on Main Street-ish mish-mash where the sum is greater than the parts. In a market increasingly driven by singles and downloads, it's nice to be reminded how exciting an album can be, especially one where you really don't know what to expect next. There are a lot fewer pounding guitars on this album. They've largely been replaced by pounding pianos. Most songs sound like rough mixes at first; almost every song has something exceptionally loud in the mix--the guitar solo in "The Nurse," the drums in "Doorbell," everything in "Blue Orchid." After a few listens, however, it becomes clear that the group is not using the studio as an instrument so much as exposing the nuts and bolts in the process along the way.

There are some duds; the wanky blooze-rawk number "Instinct Blues" goes on way too long and it would be nice if "The Nurse" had a real chorus. Whether "Passive Manipulation" is about the wife-or-sister schtick, if the cover artwork indeed has Jack and Meg calling each other devils, and which scripture is referred to by the album's title (Matthew, Mark or Luke?): none of that matters so much as the fact that this album is strangely sprawling and obliquely ass-kicking at the same time. "Orchid" is a rockdisko sonic smash that shows how to really get rock kids on the dancefloor. Meanwhile, "Doorbell" sounds enough like the Jackson Five to totally rule, and "Forever for Her" is the best ballad Jack's written in years. The fact that some marimbas provide the driving force to "Forever" makes it all the better. --Mike McGonigal

5 out of 5 stars An Unparalleled Modern Masterpiece.......2007-06-27

This album is sheer unadorned brillance on par with the great classics of all time such as The White Album, Exile on Main Street, etc. Nobody makes music this pure anymore. It's so great that I think a lot of people don't know what to make of it due to the fact that when you compare it to everything else being release these days, it's light years ahead of all of it. A truly groundbreaking album that will probably take years for many people to fully appreciate, embrace, and give it's due of unhearalded masterpiece.

4 out of 5 stars Not as good as their other albums.......2007-06-27

The White Stripes always redefine themselves with every album. This one isn't quite as good as their others, but that is not to say it isn't enjoyable. Still worthy of purchase for any fan.

4 out of 5 stars Progressive yet the least focused.......2007-06-21

Many times the first single can be entirely be misleading. Sometimes people will say the single is the worst song on the album while in terrible records it's actually the best and end up fooling buyers thinking the record was awesome. Not so with Get Behind Me Satan, the 5th album from the White Stripes led by duo Jack and Meg White. Now this is not a terrible record by any means, I mean it sure beats anything those pop punk dudes churn out but this isn't a record with huge commercial appeal like Elephant. Probably even less so.

The album starts out promisingly enough with "Blue Orchid" with Jack's octave-affected guitar doing a catchy riff and singing something about orchids and how old someone is. I don't know but it's a great opening track. Next is the totally weird the Nurse which is led by a dulcimer and it's just an odd track, not necessarily bad just...odd. We do have other songs like My Doorbell or the Denial Twist which are big piano-based numbers and while catchy, you kind of miss the guitars for some reason.

The rest are separated into 2 types of songs. First half is the acoustic/piano stuff like Forever For Her (Is Over For Me) and White Moon with the former being one of his better ballads while the latter has a nice piano part yet it suffers from not really having a sense of melody to latch onto outside of the piano. Take, Take, Take which is a more upbeat acoustic song is alright but the chorus is just irritating. Afterwards we get what's probably this album's We're Going to be Friends with a weirdly upbeat As Ugly as I Am which is actually quite fun to play as well as listen to.

The other type is the big blues rock numbers akin to Ball and Biscuit from Elephant. Problem is outside of the main riff, Instinct Blues just feels way too long and is kind of uninteresting to listen. Red Rain is way better which shifts from soft slide guitar to big loud slide chords a la Seven Nation Army. The album ends with the soft piano I Get Lonely (But I Ain't That Lonely Yet). It seems like an appropriate closer given the material on here and it's a nice song to listen to but you probably won't have it on repeat much.

You got to give them credit for at least trying to shake things up a bit. But like one reviewer mentioned once, it feels like they're trying to artificially change their sound rather than letting feel like a natural progression. If on first listen it doesn't appeal, try again. It's an album you can get, not get or get but still thinks it's an underwhelming album anyways.

2 out of 5 stars Jack may have lost the plot..........2007-04-21

Ok, here we go... the first track is fine, but it gives one a false hope for everything that's to follow. What I wanna know is... Who are the people writing these glowing reviews? Nobody I know, that's for sure. This record is nearly unbearable, an obvious case of a capable songwriter over-reaching and expecting his listeners to suspend their disbelief. Jack White does not have a voice that can carry a song by itself, and the sparse arrangements on this record force his voice to attempt the impossible. It's a fun voice, don't get me wrong, but it MUST be accompanied by some equally quirky guitar to be listenable. Unfortunately, "Get Behind Me, Satan" pushes the vocals very high in the mix, and decorates them with some honky-tonk piano here, some acoustic guitar there, and annoyance all over the place.

Myself and many of my friends are fans of the previous White Stripes records. We have been for a very long time. Not one of the people I know mentions this album without an apocryphal tone of voice, and most just out-and-out hate it. The regular conversation is something to the effect of "Yeah, I gave it a chance, I listened to it over and over, thinking 'maybe it'll grow on me', but I just started to really dislike it." If you haven't bought it, just hold out for the next one, 'cause there's no way it'll be worse than this.

(and for all the folks who are "personally offended" by my judgement of this record - Jack doesn't need your defense. He'll be just fine whether I liked it or not.)

5 out of 5 stars Interesting.......2007-03-27

I bought this cd when it was released and was pretty taken back. The music on this cd is different from the whites stripes older cds but it is still interesting to listen to and enjoy. I still listen to this album and most of the songs are pretty cool and fun. I would remcommend this album for those who like the white stripes and those who heard of this band. You'll be in store for something unique!

Sometimes having good, original ideas is the worst thing you can do in rock music. To paraphrase Jim Dickinson on the Beastie Boys, rock and roll is theft, and it's not so much about whether or not one steals but why, how much and how well (i.e. from whom). Riff-heavy in all the right ways, this is a very well-produced retro-rock record with handclaps, catchy choruses, and plenty of attitude. They freely cop from AC/DC, the Stones, the Verve, Oasis, Humble Pie, Aerosmith, Black Crowes, and Mooney Suzuki, and they do it very well. The only problems with the album lie in the words, and in the softer material. Most of the lyrics are so banal ("Now you don't need money with a face like that, do ya") they were seemingly written by some newfangled songwriting program set to "1973." And half the album consists of ballads that are just pretty good: the Oasis-y "Look What You've Done," the Pink Floyd -esque "Timothy" and the Small Faces-ish "Move On.". But it's the mid-to-uptempo stompers that this group excels at. --Mike McGonigal

5 out of 5 stars Jet - Great Retro Rock.......2007-06-07

I remember the first time I heard the first single from this album "Are You Gonna Be My Girl", on the radio. It was about as basic as rock could get, but there was something about it that made me sit up and take notice. A few weeks later I saw the band perform on Saturday Night Live and again I was impressed. Yes, they were mining the same 70's style rock territory that many before them had done, but there was just something about these guys that appealed to me. I picked up the album and pretty much liked every song on it. Jet doesn't really do anything original. A direct line to their music can be traced from older bands like The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Faces, Golden Earring, Oasis and maybe even a little Pink Floyd in spots. Instrumentally they are pretty basic too, with decent enough guitar and rhythm section. But.....there is something about these guys that gives their material instant listenability. Along with "Be My Girl" the album produced a couple of other huge radio hits the ballad "Look What You've Done" and the rocker "Cold Hard Bitch". Both are great little tracks that were perfect radio music. The rest of the album is all strong as well. I really like every track. It will interesting to see how long these guys stick around on the charts. I can see them possibly coming and going fairly quickly, but for this album at least, they have put out a winner. This is one of my favorite discs to crank up in my car. Great retro stuff.

Good Rock/Rock&Roll group! The song, of course - "Are you gonna be my girl" 4 stars!

4 out of 5 stars JET BLUES.......2007-05-23

A drummer for people who only need a beat, some guitar to make it easy to move your feet, add a little baritone, and a right out-a-site organ, (no horns though), and Steven Tyler Aerosmith vocal inspiration, and you got pure and slick, perfect and corporate, riffed and hooked rock and roll from Aussie band, Jet. Hey, this stuff is nearly perfect. Who said rock is dead when infectious drum beat meets thumping bass, and guitar adds some electric twang, and you expect to hear Golden Earring's RADAR LOVE, or any of a number of great lead-in songs. This band has the lead-in down cold, (you know, it all started with The Supremes' YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE), and the substance that follows isn't half bad. ROLLOVER DJ has a great head-bobbing vocal and riff, ("Hey Rollover DJ, got nothing to say?, mind if I play?") - not really the verse sang here, but it fits as good as any, and it rhymes. And sure, be above it, - boldly lean on The Beatles' SEXY SADIE, on track 4, LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE, right down to the resounding half-note piano key, half the kids listening never heard the original, and it sounds great. No, really. And I like The Strokes influence. And when was the last time you heard the blues as basis for great rock and roll on modern rock radio? Zepplin? And I LIKE the ballads. You can't have all riffs and hooks all the time. It would get monotonous. RADIO SONG, ("This won't be played on your radio, tonight"), a dreamy ballad makes absolutely no sense, and I find myself singing along to it on the second listen. That's craft. Closing track, TIMOTHY, at first seems a haunting reference to LSD explorer Timothy Leary, ("Timothy, we found your spaceship, ...it's the farthest you've ever flown"), but on repeated listens, seems much more profound, like a questioning of the very existence we live in, ("It's not what it seems, but it is"), - toke doobie, stare at the moon, and think about it. Nice melody too. And a fine rock album. All in all, I like it, I can bop my head to it, I wish I were 17 years old again, and I give it 4 stars.

1 out of 5 stars We're supposed to be moving forward, not backwards.......2007-04-28

Why would anyone want to listen to a bland, watered down version of the 60s and 70s rock bands? If you want to listen to old music, do yourself a favour and pick up a record by The Beatles, Rolling Stones, ACDC, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd etc. If a band wants to succeed by copying older bands, they better make sure that their music is at least up to par with, if not better than the original. If not, there's no incentive for people to go out and buy their music. This is the case with Jet. Only two of the singles are worth listening to. Look What You've Done is a blatant, bland rip off of Sexy Sadie by The Beatles. The rest of the CD is mediocre at best.

This sort of music, like the attitudes of many music listeners, is just reactionary. Lately there has been a trend towards listening to older rock bands from the 60s and 70s. Of course, this is a reaction to the sad state of modern popular music. Nowadays, the music industry is permeated by dull, lifeless, talentless, manufactured stand-for-nothing bands like Nickelback, Grinspoon and 3 Doors Down, not to mention the worst genre of music ever - emo. Jet, by the way, is no different from the afforementioned bands in this respect. However, this is not an excuse to fall back to the 60s and 70s. Music needs to move forward, not backwards. I understand that the direction we are currently going down is bad, but that doesn't mean we can't change direction whilst still maintaining creativity. The 60s and 70s are long gone, we need something fresh and new. How much longer will retro bands like Jet be able to exploit that sound before people get sick of it again? I can assure you that their 15 minutes of fame will soon be up. Musicians need to keep innovating, and coming up with new ideas that don't suck. Going back to the 60s and 70s is not going to solve the problem. Alternative rock can be good if it's done well, and metal is still alive with great innovations being made in that genre at the moment, although not as popular as it used to be.

Unfortunately, record company executives have realised that it's a lot easier to market to preteens than adults and they're never going back. That way they can still make profit while maintaining an endless supply of talentless hacks to have their 15 minutes of fame. That's why, if you want some quality, original music that's new and fresh at the same time, you won't find it in the mainstream. You're better off looking in the underground metal or indie scenes. There you'll find innovation and musical integrity. At the moment I'm listening to a great metal band called Hipocrisy. They have an excellent blend of heavy and melodic metal and, unlike most modern mainstream rock bands, they never release the same album more than once. So yeah, I highly recommend looking at the underground scenes, because I highly doubt that mainstream music is going to improve anytime soon.

5 out of 5 stars Stunning.......2007-04-17

When I first heard Jet, I couldn't believe they were a new band. Maybe I'm a little biased, but I thought there was no way a new band could sound so new and exciting. But they do!

There are many great tracks here. "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" and "Look What You've Done" are incredible rockers. The rest are great as well. It's true that Jet didn't stray too far from their influences, but that's okay in my book. I love the classics (The Who The Beatles, The Stones, etc), and I don't mind hearing new music in the same style. After all, I'd choose a Jet concert over a modern day Who concert any day.

I say give Jet time to evolve. After all, it took The Beatles a good number of years to get past "She loves you yeah yeah yeah" and when they did get past it, they did Sgt. Pepper. I think Jet definately has potential, and I wouldn't be so quick to write them off.

4 out of 5 stars Same old song, different set of stiletto heels.......2007-07-09

In a pre-Donnas world, garage-gal retro-rock would reference '60s groups such as the Standells and Troggs, along with a liberal dose of roughened-up girl-group riffs... Nowadays, though, the touchpoints are more likely to be '70s-style hard rock and power-pop backbeats -- Cheap Trick, Montrose, maybe even a little Foghat or Sweet. And of course, we can't forget foremothers such as the Schoolgirls, Runaways and Suzi Quatro. These gals cover a lot of familiar territory, with plenty of jailbait-y pouting and lyrical snarls, but they do hit some solid grooves, and do dip back into the fuzz-drenched 'Sixties grab-bag for a tune or two. They're not saying anything new, but sweaty-fisted fans of the style will probably dig it... especially if they crank it up loud. (DJ Joe Sixpack)

Emocore, an especially melodic and angst-driven form of punk that emerged from Washington, D.C., in the mid to late '80s, is making a major comeback. So much so that it wouldn't be surprising to see the producers of Sesame Street release Emo with Elmo, featuring Grover, Kermit, and especially Oscar the Grouch covering songs by Embrace, Rites of Spring, and Soulside. Which brings us to the Get Up Kids, whose second album, Something to Write Home About, is nearly as engaging as one of those old Sesame sketches featuring sock-puppet Martians and a ringing telephone. Sonically the band combines ragged Superchunk-style vocals with buzzing, hook-filled guitars and chiming, new-wave keyboards. Lyrically, however, the Get Up Kids are pretty down, lamenting damaged relationships with lines like, "I'm seeing much clearer now / You're just a face that I've gotten over" ("Red Letter Day") and "It's like you're falling in love while I'm just falling apart" ("10 Minutes"). But however angry or dejected they might be, the Get Up Kids find something worth celebrating. Whether it's the energy of last night's heated argument or the bittersweet relief of severing ties, Something to Write Home About is all about getting up and moving on. --Jon Wiederhorn

4 out of 5 stars I liked this CD.......2006-05-06

Well the band might have broken up, but this CD is good. Just to give the reader an idea, I like this album a lot more than the other releases that they have made. I give this album a four, because there are two songs that have kinda like the same background music to them only with different arrangements, but same chords. Other than that the cd is great. If you like emo, with guitar and keyboard sounds, you will like this CD. It is soft not so PuNKISH, but great!

Also if you happen to like this CD, you will like "The Get Up Kids" X-Keyboard player's Album, "Songs Not to Get Married To", by Reggie and the Full Effect.

5 out of 5 stars Quality.......2006-01-31

I can't exactly remember when or where i first got my hands on this cd, but it has become one of my treasured cd's. Most of the songs are upbeat with catchy guitars and synth/piano (actually all the elements of the songs are). The songs run together nicely and blend so well that i would recommend listening to this album from start to finish everytime. The lyrics are clever, well written, and stick in your head (for all the right reasons). There is often a play on words in the lyrics and it kind of keeps you listening and thinking about them. I realy have nothing bad to say about this album. even from a technical view point it is solid...not overdone...good mixing. I would recommend this cd to anyone into this kind of music and if you like any other get up kids material this is a must have. possibly the high point (in my opinion) of their career. R.I.P. amazing last show in philly.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful.......2006-01-25

This is their best album by far. Their new stuff is just so repetitive. Their originality truely shines in this album with almost every on it reflecting some of the best songs created in this genre. Highlights include: "Long Goodnight", "I'll Catch You", and "My Apology".

5 out of 5 stars I may not be popular for liking this but I do.......2006-01-13

I know there's people out there who think it's blasphemy to rock to like this, but honestly I enjoy it. Time after time passing, it's an album that I cherish, maybe it's the sentimentality of good times that I miss so much or maybe it's just good music to me, but I enjoy it I really do. From the first track out of the gates thing are rockin' heavy with melody then you groove into the second track and catch on to a few memorable moments. Then on the third you're heart breaks only to be lifted back up ever so slightly and just leave you wondering what's this band capable next. I really love "I'm a loner Dottie, A Rebel" completely a great song. I can't think of more to say, but it could be I listened to this heavily at a very impressionable age.

1 out of 5 stars oh yeah.......2005-05-29

This album is so bad it will give you something to write home about. Its like that really crappy summer camp you went to and the first chance you got you wrote your parents an angry letter for what they made you go through. Dear mom the food sucks , the camp councelors are a-holes and there's no hot water!! I hate you mom!! thats the same kinda feeling you will get after listneing to this whiny mess.

5 out of 5 stars WORTH TWICE THE ASKING PRICE.......2000-10-03

Worth twice the asking price just for Nik Kershaw's Wouldn't It Be Good!! Rest of the tracks are "vintage" 80s' also. The whole Just Can't Get Enough series is a must for 80s' music fans. Absolutely no clunkers!!!

3 out of 5 stars Gotta have if you're an 80's fan!.......1999-09-14

Got a good mix of old favorites (Relax, Cruel Summer) and some not-so-easy-to-find gems like Whisper To A Scream. I love this cd!

4 out of 5 stars best singular '80s compilation out there.......1999-09-02

While this compilation manages to have unappealing tracks ("Girls", "Free Nelson Mandela"), there are some really nice songs on here. "Hold Me Now" and "Cruel Summer" are really great songs to commute to, and "The Stand" is a powerful and anthemic delight. "Wouldn't It Be Good" is delectable and "Whisper to a Scream" is a rare gem. This is a must buy for anyone wanting an '80s compilation that doesn't contain the usual hackneyed "hitsapalooza". I even liked "Hero Takes a Fall" and I never knew I could like a Bangles song!

5 out of 5 stars Easily the best!.......1999-07-04

Songs like Nik Kershaw's "Wouldn't it Be Good" and The Special AKA's "Nelson Mandela" make this easily the best volume in this 15 volume series. Nik Kershaw fans beware: An edited version of "Wouldn't it Be Good" appears here.

3 out of 5 stars WOW! Was "Mickey" a GREAT song, or what?!.......2004-10-26

Nope, in fact it was one of the songs that I hated the first time I heard it and can still gather up a load of revulsion for today. The oddball tune that drags this collection up to the .500 line is Pete Shelley's "Homo Sapien". Funny, catchy and just plain clever, but I worry about Pete. Other than that volume 5 barely trips the meter. Welcome to the middle of the new wave road.

4 out of 5 stars Nearly Quintessential...Nearly.......2002-05-24

My biggest complaint about this particular album is the inclusion of "Hold onto Something" by Great Buildings. Many of these songs define my days in high school, but for the life of me I can't remember ever hearing of this band. However, I do remember hearing this song...or one very much like it -- Joe Jackson's incredibly popular song titled, "I'm the Man," from his album, "I'm the Man" (1979), which was hugely popular through the early eighties.

Re-mixing this album with the correct song would help this album's rating a lot.

5 out of 5 stars Those Were The Days-- Great New Wave Collection!.......2001-08-18

The best entry in Rhino's awesome "New Wave Hits" series.(Volume 1 which covers the late 70's is also excellent).All 16 songs are culled from 1982 which was indeed a very good year for pop music. Haircut One Hundred's "Love Plus One" and Flock of Seagulls' "I Ran" were anthems of the(then) young MTV Generation. These quirky video darlings raged like a hurricane of fresh air in the face of bland corporate schlock which hogged the airwaves. Songs like the Go Go's "Vacation" and Tommy Tutone's "867-5309" were not only pure fun-- they were also well-crafted 3-minute pop gems. In fact, nearly every tune on volume 5 is cut from the same intelligent pop mold. Other standouts from this set include the vastly underrated Marshall Crenshaw's "Someday Someway", The Jam's "A Town Called Malice" and Soft Cell's absurdly humorous "Sex Dwarf". The only weak cuts are Gang of Four's "Man in Uniform" and the truly horrible "Art of Parties" by Japan. Overall, this is a fantastic collection which harkens back to a truly innovative time in pop music-- a brief time when catchy Hit Singles ruled and all possibilities seemed endless.

5 out of 5 stars Best In The Series.......2001-07-07

This is my favorite of the series. Actually there are only two cuts that I consider weak ("Kids in America" and "Mickey"). ALl the rest are great little slices of the variety and creativeness of 80's new wave rock. Good c.d. to have.

5 out of 5 stars Just Can't Get Enough vol. 5.......2000-07-10

I have 8 of the cd's in this series, and plan on getting the rest. This one is one of my favorite of the series. The song "Love Plus One" by Haircut One Hundred is a fabulous song. There are many other gems as well, such as "I Want Candy", "Someday, Someway" and "I Ran (So Far Away)". There are many obscure songs on here, so don't expect to know them all, unless you had an unbelievable vinyl collection in the 80's. The music hear can fit almost any mood you may be feeling. Pick it up and enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars awesome album.......2007-05-28

It's a tragedy this band ended the way it did, because they could have been huge. They had a sound that nobody else can match today. These guys started an entirely new genre of rock, combining funk, punk, and hardcore. Buy it today

5 out of 5 stars Get Some .......2006-10-02

Get Some is a wonderful example of musical styles fusing. Punk, hardcore, metal and funk come together on this disc that keeps the pressure on until the unexpected but good track Get Some Keez. It's unfortunate that Lynn Strait died before this band could expand and grow. My favorite tracks are I Jus' Lie and Tecato. This album is a good balance between fury and melody. A good addition to any collection and well worth the price.

5 out of 5 stars Tribute.......2006-07-08

This guy deserved it for real... he isn't or I should say he wasn't an icon at the time, but he influenced so many lives. Helped in so much music. Tragedy doesn't explain it. I have bought this album six times now because I end up giving it to someone who hasn't heard them. I would also do it 10 more times... The reviews will be sad, but the music isn't. It is just great Rock!

5 out of 5 stars If Only They Had Lived..........2006-06-12

You want power...nuts...and emotional f***ing guts?!?!? The lead singer (RIP) delivers enough raw, peeled-back nakedness to make those "wannabe" rockers (Limp Bizkit, Machine Head, etc) pale in comparison. This CD rocks! Whatever your political persuasion, you cannot deny the passion that screams from this classic. I agree with other reviewers...had the members survived, SNOT would have easily surpassed KORN & the likes as THE MOST POWERFULL ROCKERS today. Buy this CD! I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

2 out of 5 stars Snot - 'Get Some' (Geffen).......2006-05-08

Snot has put out,what I assume a title that some patrons might tag as a hardcore CD with 'Get Some'.Upside of this release is that it was produced by none other than T-Ray(Helmet,House Of Pain).Overall,this fifteen track effort is pretty generic.Tunes that were okay include "Joy Ride","Snooze Button","Deadfall"(possibly the best song of the entire disc)and "Mr.Brett".Simply didn't do much for me.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars One of the best albums ever made.......2005-10-18

First off i want to say that i've bought this cd probably 3or 4 times due to friends losing it or me ruining it. Thats how much I love this cd. The get up kids play some great stuff this time around. To me the guitars on this cd sound so awesome and original. The singer has a great voice too (kind of like the singer from coheed or kid brother collective. This is an emo album, but its great because while it has its slow parts, all the sudden the band will just start rocking out. The music is usually just standard power chords and octaves, but does have some catchy riffs. The drummer plays real standard stuff though but it gets the job done. Other than this i would definitley recommend their ep titled woodson, or even "something to write home about" I would not recommend their albums "on a wire" which is just horrible and nothing like their old stuff. I also wouldn't recommend their latest album "guilt show" either. If you're into emo or just great rock you will definitely love this. I got friends of mine who only listen to rap and techno into these guys. Also if you get this and like what you hear, check out kid brother collective. Its around the same line as the get up kids but not as great.

4 out of 5 stars God Bless Emo.......2004-11-29

There is not much i can really say about this that hasnt been said.... Yes this album is alluringly rough around the edges, yes this album very much grows on you, yes this is emo. And we all love emo right?
I have owned this album for what seems like forever and always dismissed it up till now. I play it over and over and over to the extent that all my friends know every word due to over exposure.
This is a much harder and grittier sound that retains some of the "Core" of emo. Unlike some of the pretty keyboards on ...Home About, this is all about rocking guitars and more strained vocals.
Were i to criticise i would moan about the lack of any shouting in any of the choruses. I would moan about the fact that it isnt the heaviest emo i have ever heard and they arent quite Saves The Day. But if you like your emo lite, than this is the band to try!

5 out of 5 stars And I'm predicting.......2004-11-09

The use of the word emo in any of these reviews, see I did it too. Let me start this by saying I like the Pixies, I like Sonic Youth, and I like Mike Patton. Guess what else, that's right this album. A limited taste in elitism ain't no fun. This album is rough, it takes awhile, but I'll be damned if I kind of like it better than Something to Write home about. So yeah, the trademark emo vocals, fine, but they have a lot more depth than you think. I mean sure I could sit around and listen to Led Zepplin albums for the rest of my life and never try something else and I haven't listened to these guys in awhile, but that doesn't diminish the quality of this album.

4 out of 5 stars good stuff.......2004-06-23

it's a good cd, although i prefer their newer stuff. if you want something more, id check out Copeland. they're kick ass. take care.

http://www.thecopelandsite.com

5 out of 5 stars Stay Gold or Platinum, minute mile..........2004-05-19

When the get up kids decidedly kicked off this album, never in my sound mind did I give a single thought about them getting any better, but of course I was pointlessly proven wrong with the ever conclusive something to write home about. I listened to most of the songs on the album with the intention of actually getting the album but after a number of years, I finally got around to purchasing it. Now this album simply grows on you, the rough edges pushed in just for fun is simply the best bits on this really excellent album. Independent labels cannot exist without bands like the get up kids and four-minute mile as an album. Give this relentless record a forceful try. You'll experience what I'm experiencing...totality in complete and utter musical master piece..

5 out of 5 stars How bands like this fall under the radar is beyond me.......2007-02-15

The Good
A catchy arpeggio section followed by an infectious riff leads you into "The Struggle (Getting Out Alive)." The chorus has a great structure and flow to it, and Stubhy's melodic vocals are quite encapsulating. "Cigarettes" has both a rock radio and pop radio appeal to it. The lyrical sentiments are genuine and pure and the chord progression and guitar work are easy to grasp on to. Guitarist Adam and Joe mix things up on "When Bad News Gets Worse" as one lays down some chugga-chugga riffage, and the other leans on straight strumming. "Like Rats From a Sinking Ship" is just as frantic and you would imagine the scene would be on an actual ship disaster. It's all about and vocal melody and guitar riffage on "Anything, Anything (I'll Give You)."

The Bad
Nada

The Verdict
How bands like this fall under the radar is beyond me. With just five songs, Lucky Boys Confusion will grab your attention and have you glued to their energetic and melodic sound until it's all over.

4 out of 5 stars Love it........2006-10-09

These guys give the best live shows, EVER. The album attempts to capture some of the pure electricity of their live performances and succeeds. The only problem is that it is not a full album, which is why i give 4 and not 5 stores. I WANT MORE!

2 out of 5 stars Cheesed-out mainstream mallpunk........2006-08-07

If you're looking for the missing link between mallpunk and N Sync, this is it. Lucky Boys have always had a mainstream sound, but they used to be a bit more eclectic and punky. Sure, the songs are pleasant to listen to, but so is anything on corporate radio. This EP is simply, completely devoid of bite.

5 out of 5 stars Lucky boys are back.......2006-06-29

I didn't know if I would see another album by these guys, but I have to say, now that "How To Get Out Alive" is sitting in my CD player... i'm more than happy.

This album brings Lucky Boys Confusion back to their roots, I can almost feel myself at their superb live shows that they put on. The Struggle is probably my favorite track, it's truly awesome!

Loved it! A+

5 out of 5 stars They ARE alive!.......2006-06-27

Lucky Boys Confusion have returned, after the demise of Elektra records, with this self-released EP of 4 new LBC songs and a cover of Dramarama's classic "Anything, Anything". The songs have a slightly tougher edge than in the past but feature the same peppy snap fans have come to expect, with an even slicker production quality. Now, if the band are known for their bevy of memorable hooks, this new material will more than cement that sentiment. Each track playfully struts its way to a chorus fueled with a sweet melodic power few bands can match. This is as catchy as it gets folks. No sense in naming any titles either, as each track is a stand-out! And as usual, not a ballad is in sight here. Plus, there are no ska/hip-hop types stylings this time out either. So, the only drawback is the fact that it's NOT a full album, because this new release rises above anything the band has done previously. No confusion here, this is KILLER!

5 out of 5 stars Hands down the series champ.......2004-06-22

With Volume 4 of the Just Can't Get Enough series Rhino really got their act together. Leading off with Devo's greatest non-hit ever "Freedom Of Choice", this disc rarely lets up and only occasionally stumbles. The Boomtown Rats "Up All Night", doomed Phil Seymour's "Precious To Me", and the Translators "Everywhere That I'm Not" all make for legitimate reasons to buy this disc, but the two killers are The Members early MTV staple "Working Girl" and The Monroes "What Do All The People Know". Try finding THOSE somewhere else. One other great song that could have been a huge plus to this collection was The Kings "Switchin' To Glide/This Beat Goes On" but THEY CUT HALF OF IT OFF!!! Whose idea was that? No matter. Search under The Kings on Amazon for the debut album and hear it like it was meant to be heard.
The stumble? The God-awful "Tainted Love" which has been known to cause loose stools in laboratory mice. Avoid at all costs.

5 out of 5 stars Volume Four Makes Case For Best In Series!.......2004-03-13

I'm busy collecting this terrific series by Rhino. Volume Four is the fifth CD in the series I've added to my collection and is so far the best. Everything you associate with the new Wave era of the 1980s is here. Generals and Majors by XTC captures the Cold War doom and gloom of the Reagan years (those years seem rather innocent now). Love and Lonliness by the Motors gives you synth pop at its best. Solid New Wave sound can be found in the Kings Switchin' to Glide and the Undertones It's Going to Happen. I really like Workin Girl by the Members and What Do All the People Know by the Monroes. Also represented are Devo with Freedom of Choice and Soft Cell's Tainted Love (Both of TV commercial fame). The twelve cuts here really show the range of New Wave music. Some of it is lighthearted and meant for fun while others take things quite seriously. I look forward to completing the set, but doubt any of the others will match this one!

4 out of 5 stars New Wave Hits Volume 4.......2000-12-31

This CD is a pretty good compilation of hits from the era of new wave. I must agree with prior reviewers that this does seem to be the only way to get The Monroes "What Do All the People Know". It is a shame that this compilation only includes the second part of The Kings song "Switchin' to Glide", failing to include the first part of this song the "Beat Goes On" is a large disappointment. This oversight is what led me to only rank this CD as four stars. On the positive side, even though most of these songs are available elsewhere, this CD is a quick way to acquire a number of great tunes without doing a long search. Such tunes as "Working Girl", "Tainted Love", and "Generals and Majors" make this CD a must have for the fan of new wave.

3 out of 5 stars Only one reason to buy this--The Monroes!.......2000-07-30

Fairly typical mix of 80's new wave stuff and one-hit wonders, but this album's one saving grace is the inclusion of the lost classic "What Do All The People Know" by the Monroes. This song is one of the all-time greats, even if it is ever so slightly edited here. Another compilation contained the song, but this CD seems to be the only one still available. So snap it up, Monroes fans!
