"Some albums just get to you and this is one of them. No innovation here. The engergetic fun delivery short circuits any critical analysis that can be offered. File under pop/punk/emo tag and get over it. There is just a certain something to this album that transports me back to the early nineties when music was wide open. It is big dumb rock circa 1991. I don't know if I would buy another album by these guys since it seems like they found a sound and stick with it. There is only one song I don't like and that is the uber-cheesy "Forever". That said the songs are all about girls and being in band. Sloan does this thing better but, damn, it gets me rockin'. While I feel a little ashamed when I think about liking this album, there is no doubt when I have it pumping."

"The last UFB CD, "This will be laughing week" was a masterpiece It was full of rockin power pop songs that never ceased to amaze. It almost was as good as their live shows (well worth checking out)It had lots of energy and was pure rock n roll. This cd is rockin...its not the same as the last CD, little more time and emotion in the slow tracks, very well written with a totally different vibe, but when it comes to the rock, it still brings it. I have to admit it has grown on me the last few days... so maybe when I get to see these songs live i'll like it as much as their old stuff, worth the purchase for any rock music fan, but if your looking to get introduced to UFB, buy This will be laughing week...... or check a live show. No matter what UFB will rock you."
