"I picked this album up off of a suggestion from a friend, and I must say that it is a better punk album than i've listened to for a while. If you're more a traditional punk fan, you'll probably be a bit dissapointed with the CD. However, that's what made it great for me, was the fact that it wasn't a traditional punk album. Although some of the songs' core riffs seem lifted from Minor Threat/Fugazi, the band puts their own swing onto the rest of the song. Besides, how many punk bands can actually say that they've never reused chord progressions? The Wynona Riders have made a proficient CD that is a very enjoyable listen. It strays from punk sometimes, but that shows orginality to me, especially the way they mix it in. If you can find the CD, I suggest picking it up."
