"Lagwagons gotta be one of the most underrated bands of the 90's. First off, Lagwagons not pop punk in their early days. It's a blend of the softer side of early 80's hardcore punk (Circle Jerks, Descendents, metal (Anthrax, Iron Maiden) and a bit of pop punk (Jawbreaker, Nofx.) It's got it's own thing going. The main attraction here is Joey Cape. He's definitely one of the most underappreciated songwriters out there, and a unique vocalist in the vein of Joey Ramone. Duh has better lyrics than most bands ever do. Same thing with Trashed. His lyrics are really insightful. He has a lot of good things to say and he writes about the kinds of issues that songwriting should be about. He's definitely not wasting his voice. I'd say it's a must have for anyone who's a fan of intelligent songwriting, early 80's hardcore, thrash and speed metal, and the more melodic side of punk."

Ah yes good stuff ladies and gents

"This CD and Hoss are the best lagwagon CD's out there. The guitar riffs are great, the lyrics are what punk lyrics should be about, no song says it better than coffee and cigarettes. Although i like neither of them, this is great CD."
