"This album contains Saturday...possibly a tribute to Sunny Day Real Estate's "Friday"...but regardless an emotional flood of guitar buildups and floating seaprated chords. Also E Texas Ave is an assault of detached lyrics and power chords that rip through the speakers. The short tacets are unbelievably powerful. This album would be worth the price even if only those two songs were on it, but there is a more polished version of picture postcard, scenes from parisian life(which was amazing when they played it at summerfest, and great here too) a couple poppy songs that are not mediocre but do not standout in my mind as much as the others, and a fun brassy swing-feeling song about the russians that seems to indicate the direction the career would go. Very Very Very Very Good"
Great cd

"this cd is just awesome all around. by far the best promise ring release there is - especially better than their new cd which sucks. the only reason it didn't get 5 stars was because it was too short. a cd this great should go on forever."

"E. Texas Ave. is quite possible one of Promise Ring's best songs. Overall this cd is one of my favorite emo albums. As far as Promise Ring goes all of their music is killer, but the next best is 30 Degrees Everywhere.....if you dig poppy emo, singing about playing football, wearing your favorite boyhood t-shirt, or songs that contain the most catchy choruses....this is for you!"
