Good Old School sounds all in one cd

"All in all a very good buy for a true Millencolin fan. All of their old EPs are here in this one cd. You can't beat the convenience of simply buying one cd rather that trying to hunt down their old EP singles. Songs like "Pain," "Shake Me," and "Nose Picker" truely exemplify their old school sound before the new sounds in albums like "Kingwood" and "Home From Home." Don't expect these songs to sounds like their most recent releases. If you do, you will be disappointed. For the fans that enjoy Millencolin's older sorta ska sound, you will love this cd! If you are trying to collect all of the major Millencolin albums, this is a must buy."

Ska-Punkers at their best!

"When I got this cd I was used to Millencolin's latest album Home From Home. This is very different from that, but better. This album has a realness to it that Home From Home didn't posess. It has a very Ska-Punk (Rancid/Op Ivy) feel to it. The songs are fast, and loud. The vocals on this album are a lot rawer, too. The vocals sound like a mix between New Jersey and British punk with lots of rolled R's and long O's, very nice. There are a lot of different covers on this album, but that's not a bad thing. In most cases they are just as good or better than the originals! All in all if you like great Ska-Punk check this CD out."

Awesome

"If you are an old Millencolin fan this is the cd you need. Sounds like "life on a plate" and "Same ol' Tunes""
