5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a perfect level., Jun 24 2004

By

Andy P. "Devils944S2" (Seattle, WA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guilt Show (Audio CD)

I have been an outside fan of The Get Up Kids for a few years now. I found that they had catchy hooks and a fresher outlook lyrics-wise than their supposed "peers" such as Blink, etc...I also felt that they damaged what could have been power pop perfection by, at times, trying to imitate those inferior bands to the point of being lumped in with those bands. At times I thought that the strained/yelled vocals were getting a bit common and that The Kids needed to scale it back and find their niche, sucessful or not. "On A Wire" took it too far back and and while a good CD, it still didn't define TGUK. "Guilt Show" finally, finally, finally dials it down to show the absolute talent this band posesses. Smart, insightful lyrics as well as perfectly executed hooks. I would also suggest 4 Minute Mile and Something To Write Home About as an introduction and see how far they have come with this release.

First: I bought "Something to write home about" then I fell in love with the cd
Second: I bought "On A Wire" and loved the whole cd for it's differences and everything
Third: I bought "Guilt Show" and loved how all the songs seemed upbeat and had good rhythms, this is a good cd!

3.0 out of 5 stars try Something to Write Home About instead., July 10 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Guilt Show (Audio CD)

There is little emotion on the new Get Up Kids album. It was a disappointment. If you're looking for their old, poignant sound, check out "Something to Write Home About."

I read many gushing 5 star reviews on Amazon. Sometimes I actually buy on their basis but I'm regularly disappointed. Read more
