Well, I really do like this cd, but I think they could have done much better on it. They lost some of the up-beat style, either that or maybe it seems that way cause of the new guitarist. It seems that maybe they got slower, and lowered their chords some. And also, i think mr. vocalist is trying to actually lower his voice and sing now, and that takes out some of the punk-rock "punch" that you'd expect. Oh yes, they still sound good, but some songs--such as #1 and #4--just dont have the sound they used to. But anyways...if you are a first time buyer, go for it, its a great cd.--But for hardcore fans of Slick Shoes, be wary, you may be disappointed, probably not but there's always the possibility.
