"Words can't really describe what Enuff Znuff's music has done and continues to do for me since their debut album back in 1989. On Tweaked, EZN continues to showcase Chip and Donnie's abilities to put provocative and relatable lyrics to beautiful melodies with a strong backbeat. Put this CD on and just sit and listen to tracks like "Stoned," "My Dear Dream," and "It's too Late," and you will see that these guys are not only letting us into their emotional catharsis, but truly crafting quality songs. Some of the tracks on this album are left over b-sides from their earlier days, they do not, however, take anything away from the album as a whole. For instance, "Has Jesus Closed His Eyes?" features their original guitarist Derek Frigo. This track is a good sample of something you might find one their second album "Strength" or even their third album "Animals..." Whatever you do, don't let the misclassification of these guys as 80's metal allow you to overlook their talent as great songwriters. If you are a fan of great pop music, I guarantee you will enjoy Enuff Znuff. Though I believe this album is a turning point for the band it is, perhaps, them at their most genuine. Don't pass this one up."
