"For any fan of punk, alternative, or rock- if you don't own this cd- your missing out on something that you- really DON'T want to miss out on! From the awesome mind of Aaron Cometbus and the odd-enough vocals of my favorite singer BJ Armstrong (Green Day) , Pinhead Gunpower really 'Carries the Banner' (band pun) in this, my favorite, PG album, not to mention one of my favortie albums ever. From the first second of the catchy 'Life During Wartime' to the beatiful lyrics of 'Song of my Returning' to the emotional story of 'Brother,' this album fills all of your musical needs in a lean 23 and a half minutes. It's definetly the most well spent elleven dollars of your life. If you like this CD, check out Green Day's 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours for similar tracks and good lyrics from before Billie Joe got all f-word crazy in Dookie , Insomniac, and Nimrod. Two words- BUY THIS CD- wait, thats three words. Oh well!"

Bloody brilliant!!

"From the first suspiciously "Stuck With Me" riff of "Life During Wartime" to the final crash of "The Great Divide", Goodbye Ellston Avenue tears along through 12 songs of pure punk in around 25 minutes - and for all of those minutes, this album screams 'CATCHY' down your ear until you have to give in and sing along. Its nothing new and I don't think Aaron Cometbus or Billie Joe Armstrong are going to pretend that it is but for sheer quality punk music, look no further."
