Less Than Jake is my favorit band.

That being said. This was a disapointment. my least favorit major release of theirs. But after listening a few time I realized that this was in fact still an amazing album.

Most of the songs are nothing like the old more like anthem but still verry diffrent.

This is one of the reasons this album succeds. ltj has never produced two simaler albums. that sounded the same their was always been some thing that sets it apart from the rest.

But yes hearing ltj go all meaningful on me with songs like the Rest of my Life and Hopeless Case. Was a bit of a shock.

Their were semi ska songs on the album A still life franchise and p.s. shock the world. but true fans know that ltj is not a true ska band. they are a band without a geanra.

The disc starts out with soundtrack of my life and ends with p.s. shock the world and with only one major flaw and that would be some annoying chorus lines in some songs. (Mostly Memories).

and sure Let Her Go's wrighting feals wierd agains the rest of it being superb.

Hopeless Case is the best song by a musical standpoint along with The rest of My Life. Who could also forget Overrated great wrighting and Don't fall asleep on the subway has a great beat to it. Also you can't go wrong with Still Life Franchise.

In the end it is verry diffrent then the rest of their cd but in a good way when you give it time.

I would love them to produce a album more like the earlier stuff next time but i doubt it will happen so this will do.
