"Here it is, The debut from the band known as Plankeye. This album was released in 1994, Which was one of punk rock's most historical years [Green Day first achieved fame with their breakthrough album Dookie, The Offspring first achieved fame with their breakthrough album Smash, Rancid also finally achieved fame that year with their album Let's Go]. Like a lot of punk rock from this time period, Plankeye used fast drums, Guitar solos, and 3-chord instruments to make up the sound of their music. This album is a good trip down memory lane for those who like 90's punk rock. The songs are mostly aggresive and fast and even though the vocals and lyrics can become a bit cheesy from time to time, This is mostly a satisfying album. The highlights of the album include ''Good News'' [A good, energetic opener], ''Power'', ''Revolution'', ''Scared'', and ''Step Away'' [The best song on the album]. This is a great example of how good punk rock was before that stupid emo mess began to infiltrate the genre. If you're a christian and you love punk rock music, I definitely reccomend this album. However, I do not reccomend this album if you're only into newer punk rock [2000-present] as most of today's punk rock fans will probably find this album's sound outdated."

Not the band you know and love

"This is terrible, probably the worst album I own. Some of these tracks are okay, but the lyrics are so cheesy, and there are some horrid guitar solos. You can see some songwriting foundations here that the band developed into excellence on later realeases, but this is too raw and awkward sounding for me."
