This album was worth the long wait! The first track should really grab everyone's attention, its so strong and fresh. The album never drags in my opinion. Deron, Chad, Jess, and Matt are really at the top of their game. A big improvement from one of my all time favorite bands. Carver City is a brilliant concept and is well worth checking out. They deserve a lot more recognition.

If you aren't afraid of a little synth in your rock, this is a very enjoyable album from
start to finish. While many will likely regard this as simply above-average alt-rock
filler music, I am going to hold it aloft with my mighty anointed hands anyway. There
certainly is filler on this album, tracks such as "Woe Is Me" just didn't do anything for
me at all (though I'd still call them better than 90% of what I hear on the modern rock
station.) However, there are truly some gems here. The opening track, "Hellions on
Parade" is just plain good rock and roll with much improved vocals, the second track
"...And She Never Returned" invokes Propagandhi and actually does it justice, "Rats In
The Infirmary" is equally good. After that exciting introductory trilogy, the songs stop
standing out as much but still aren't bad. The album makes a surprising comeback with "A
#1 Roller Rager" - It's just an excellent, catchy, fun song with a lot of replay value.
If CKY did this style throughout the album it would get old, but on its own it
contributes greatly to the whole package. The album wraps up with an average track
followed by what the band probably intended to be an epic closer. It falls short of that
goal but still does the rest of the album justice enough. Don't expect anything
monumental when you give it a spin, but go into it with an open mind and you might be
pleasantly surprised like me.
