"...this album is terrible compaired to Playmate of the year and Mfzb. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about "waste of mind" blows when compaired to the later two. Maybe its the fact that every other verse, bridge and chorus is either boring, hard to sit thru or both? Maybe its the fact that this album has little to no pop-punk influence, making it an experimental nightmare? Or maybe its that "waste of mind" is just plain not as good as the others. whatever it may be, I know one thing for sure, this album pretty much sucks all the way thru, and was a huge waste of 11.99 plus tax.
High Points: Waste of mind, Big Shot
Low Points: 1-12 (except 5 and 8)
Rock Bottom: Fly Daze and Bootylicious
If you're thinking about getting waste of mind because you liked the other two, BEWARE, this album is nothing like them. If you're just starting out with zeebrahead, get Mfzb (their best) or Playmate of the year (a close second) instead and call it a day. This album is NOT POP-PUNK, its boring..."
As with every CD from Zebrahead, amazing...

"What can I say I love Zebrahead. From the moment I heard Playmate of the Year by chance, because I was downloading a bunch of obscure punk band songs from the internet, I fell in love with this great experimental band's sound. The Funk/Jazz/Reggae influence just adds so much maturity and diversity to the punk/rock basis of this band. The CD harbors the only song ever made by Zebrahead that I don't love, and that is Fly Daze, but it still makes me chuckle so I don't hate it.
Everything about this CD is great. The fast paced, rap infused Check, the funky, jazzed out solos in The Real Me, Feal This Way, and Someday, and the fast-paced, fun Punk sounds of Get Back and Walk Away, which is also reggae inspired. And honestly I enjoy the solos the aforementioned songs as much as I like Freebird (Although, they obviously aren't the same caliber). And if you don't know what Freebird is you need to listen to some classic rock its by Lynyrd Skynyrd."
