"THE BLACK HALOS CONTINUE THEIR LEGACY WITHOUT RICH JONES, AND LET ME SAY, YOU CANT TELL THE DIFFERENCE. THEIR NEW CD, ALIVE WITHOUT CONTROL IS WORTH THE PRICE JUST FOR THE CASE IT COMES IN, CONTAING A BONUS LABEL SAMPLER, STICKER, AND NICE LAYOUT. THE ALBUM ITSELF IS NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING! ALMOST EVERY SONG IS CLASSIC HALOS, WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A TWIST. THE BEST SONGS ON THE ALBUM, DARKEST CORNERS, STUDIO SUFFERING, TIGHT, BROKEN, AND BURNING TRASH. IF YOUR A FAN OF OLD SCHOOL PUNK ROCK, THIS CD IS FOR YOU. FANS ON DEAD BOYS, AND RAMONES WILL REVEL IN THIS CDS BEAUTY. AN INSTANT CLASSIC! (ANYONE WHO LIKES THIS BAND AND HASNT SEEN THEM LIVE, TRUST ME, YOU SHOULD!)"
