"This is the cd that I like to remember H2O with - its really dark melodic punk/hardcore. Its one of the best cds of the genre as well.Even though they well ... went against everything they stood for with their first album (and "sold out", went to a major label, changed their genre to the fit the trends, etc.) this album still stands the test of time.If you're into their newer stuff but haven't checked out any of their earlier work, check this album about and give a listen to the bands that they have tattooed onto themselves while your at it."
This CD is awesome.

"This and F.T.T.W. are awesome albums and I can't wait to get their self titled cd. Oh yeah, if you ever get a chance to see H2O live, DO NOT MISS IT."
They take the "hard" out of "hardcore".

"When I initially heard this record, I immediately noticed something was missing from the music.. but I couldn't quite put my finger on what was wrong. After a few listens, I came to the conclusion that the production ruins the record. Their guitar sound isn't heavy, but they don't have a Minor Threat-esque abrasive buzzsaw sound either. The end result is really flat and unaffecting. This would have been better with a different producer."
A bucket of water to the face

"This is one hardcore album that stands out from the crowd--the songs are catchy more often than not, and the band manages to keep above water, not falling into the mire of sound-alike punk. The energy on this album is off the charts, warm and crazy. Some punk is dumb, some is good...this album is good. More than that, it's unique."
