Should give this 6 stars.......2007-03-29

This realy should be up there with early Foo Fighters and Nirvana guess they never had the press behind them to plug them as the greatest thing since Hendrix (yeh right!)

Still, this is a great step up sort of like a continuation of where Quicksand was going after their 2nd lp. Interesing that there are so many used and new for sale (just gives you more of a reason to check them out if their stuff is going so cheap)

Everything Has Its Point.......2006-12-21

This isn't a bad album, by any means. Rival Schools' strengths here are the dynamic songs like 'Travel By Telephone' and 'Used For Glue'. What makes this album less-than-outstanding is an abundance of songs with monotonous dynamics and wandering, distracted-sounding melodies [such as 'Undercovers On'].

A previous reviewer has described this as "the most mediocre album ever." That's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's not all that far off the mark.

I don't regret buying a used copy.

Most mediocre album, ever........2005-11-26

Reading reviews, I've learned that every band has a select few fans that will laud each album as the greatest musical achievement since the dawn of time. I know I've got my couple bands that I'll never abandon, but Rival Schools (or any Walter Shreifels project) will never be one of those for me. The album has a couple engaging songs (Undercovers On, Good Things). The tracks vary from mellow to hard hitting, and some do a good job of progressing from a whisper to a scream. But there's more energy than talent put into this album.

Just don't expect any creative playing. Shreifels, Love, and Tolman just beat their guitars harder than the drummer. This album mostly goes to show that anyone with distortion pedal and a raspy voice can record an album. Perhaps the number and price of the "used and new" copies available is the most telling information on this page.

Quite simply one of the greatest albums ever.......2005-09-23

I bought "United By Fate" on a whim one day in 2002 just because the lead singer was Walter Shreifels, former frontman for Quicksand. At best, I was hoping Rival Schools wouldn't tarnish the memory of my beloved Quicksand. What I found was a sublime collection of artistic genious that I literally listened to 2 or 3 times a day for over 2 years straight and still listen to often. If you like rock music, you will love this record. Buy it now.

so good.......2005-08-27

These guys may come across as just another emo-core/indie rock band, but they're all much more advanced than the average emo/indie band. They've all been in the music business since the 80's and it shows in United By Fate. The best tracks are UNDERCOVER'S ON, TRAVEL BY TELEPHONE and EVERYTHING HAS ITS POINT.

Sometimes when I listen to a lot of emo-core/indie rock bands, they all kinda sound like the same thing after a while, but not these guys. TRAVEL BY TELEPHONE has a pretty unique guitar riff in it that I've never heard anywhere else. And another thing that's great about it is that it appeals to people who like rock in general, people who like indie rock, and just about any other form of the genre.

It's too bad that something so good was so overlooked.

Customer Reviews:

Best Of Classical.......2007-04-11

I don't know much about classical music and have just started listening to it. I like this CD because it contained a variety of pieces and composers that I was somewhat familiar with. I think this will help me in future choices.

A Very Good (and cheap!) Box Set For Beginners........2002-10-09

This is a great box set for beginners (especially considering the price). The sound quality is excellent (unlike many other [inexpensive] classical CDs). Also, a wide variety of classical favorites are covered in this set.

It could use some notes about each piece in the CD booklet though.
