CD Reviews

Starts out promising, but runs out of steam
George Goober Lindsay | 07/26/2008
(2 out of 5 stars)

"I came across NUFAN in '99, right after More Betterness came out. It's still one of my favorite albums. Making Friends is also a classic, and Leche is pretty good too. I bought Hard Rock and Confused, and was thoroughly dissapointed by both.



To give you an idea of what I'm looking for in a No Use song, some of my NUFAN favorites are Not Your Savior, Coming Too Close, Life Size Mirror, The Answer Is Still No, Invincible, A Postcard Would Be Nice, and Don't Miss the Train.



I picked up this CD without expecting a whole lot, after seeing several other bands I used to love (Goldfinger, Bad Religion, etc) completely lose their appeal with the garbage they've made lately.



It starts out promising, with a fast, rough tone. It doesn't last long, though. The album sounds like NUFAN can't decide what kind of band they are anymore - do they want to sound like Sum 41, do they want to sound like a folksy version of old-school NUFAN, do they want to sound like Foo Fighters?



Mainly, I guess the lyrics don't connect the way they did on the old albums at that point in my life (at least Tony Sly has figured out we don't want to hear him sing about his kids...). And the hooks aren't as good anymore either. Still, there are a few songs that are worth listening to. Meh."
NUFAN is still a great band.

"Although I can understand why people aren't as fond of this CD, as say, More Betterness, I can't help but disagree. I've been a NUFAN fan for a long time, and seen them live numerous times. Perhaps watching them perform these songs live has caused me to be biased, but I thoroughly enjoy all of the songs on this CD.



The Biggest Lie and I Wanna Be Wrong are two of my favorite NUFAN songs ever. Granted the slower songs can really throw the pace off on this album, I think that the faster songs really bring back a lot of energy that they had lost with their last record, which I thought was terrible.



I'm glad that this album has picked up some steam from their last, and I believe that this is a really solid release from No Use For A Name."
