"I don't know why this is out of print. Here, ALL shows true talent. While Stevenson's lyrics are disturbingly homophobic on the 2 songs mentioned in the review, the honesty is a bit remarkable, and the rest of the disc shines. ALL/Descendents truly created a genre now besmirched by bands like Good Charlotte and Simple Plan when they combined pop hooks with punk attitude. The raw honesty on this release however, puts the processed hits of those bands to shame. Simultaneously rocking and gutwrenching, the songs on Pummel mark the crest of the original emo/punk/hardcore wave ALL shared with bands like Jawbreaker and Lifetime. A must-have for anyone who is a fan of the Descendents, Bouncing Souls or any other true pop PUNK bands."

"I really liked the old singer with great songs like Just Perfect really catchy. But this cd is like musical anger it really brings out the gothic sense of ALL. At least to say the least the more agressive less fantasy world. This album is very catchy but there is a small lack of new ideas whitch definately is mad up for in the lryics. You have to get this cd is you like love songs and you like hard rock."
