I have to say it was as good as going to one of their concerts. I have seen them 4 times this last year (Goleta's Living Room twice, Ventura's Nicholby's, and Los Angeles Warped Tour), and they are great. For their first major record label debut CD, ...they will make waves with it. Great songs are "Stuck In America," "Bouncing Off the Walls," "Saying Goodbye," "Pretty Girl," "How Does It Feel," and untitled hidden acoustic track are all really, really great. The other tracks inbetween those tracks are good too, but I like upbeat music currently. The album sounds like the upbeat Green Day/The Ataris type, with a Third Eye Blind massive hits CD (TEB had 7 hit songs on their Self-Titled CD), and a blend of humor and darkness with some of their songs. And if you like what you hear on the CD, then you will like them live because they sound exactly the same as their CD (they aren't crappy live like Red Hot Chili Peppers). Also they are very down to Earth, I talk to them at every concert I go to and they don't turn down their fans on autographs. Oh yeah (to the band if reading), what happened to Taco Bell in Goleta after the show, it was closed when we left at the sametime as you. (To Band of how Tim remembers me:) Chris the Sub-Urban transportation guy for Carpenteria even though I live in Ventura. Read more Less
