Five Iron Frenzy - Proof That the Youth Are Revolting (8 tracks) +Album Reviews

Fun, laid back cd. FIF has produced better but still good

"This new album from Five Iron Frenzy portrays FIF in their concerts. This Ska band birthed from the late nineties avoids the "punk" sound. An electrifying, catchy rhythm guides their music. FIF signed as a Christian band. Many of their songs don't have direct reference to God or Christ. A Godly moral can be found in all their songs however. FIF is the just what the doctor ordered for teens who are interested in music. Proof That the Youth are Revolting is FIF's fourth album and their first live album. Of the Fifteen songs included in this album only three are unique to this album. All other 13 songs are played at a faster tempo than their debut on previous albums. This album is cram packed with zanney pre-tracks that leave you with anything but boredom. The laid back attitude of this band is very relaxing. For example the "bloopers" of this album are put together in a hidden track. If quality songs are what you desire, I recommend that you purchase an earlier album. Upbeats and Beatdowns and Our Newest Album Ever contain songs produced for quality before amusement. What makes Five Iron Frenzy such a popular band is their smooth rhythms in addition to their light hearted crazy personality. This band is a must for any ska fans."

Awesome awesome awesome ska-punk

"wow... that's really all i can say. FIF is probably one of, if not THE, best christian band ever. instrumentally amazing, lyrically phenomenal, and, as only a live album can express, spiritually and emotionally prodigious. that last part is best expressed in the bridge of every new day. the feeling pumping through the ending is enough to blow you away. it will put you in such a extreme reverent state of praise that it is practically indescribable. other well deserved acknowledgements are the stryper cover at the intro of one girl army; a flowery song; dandelions (my second favorite five iron song); and suckerpunch (always a gem). reese roper has distinguished song writing abiblty. just to be fair, jeff did a really good job on all that is good. i highly reccomend this album to ANY fans of ska and/or punk. go out and get this cd. then get all the others! they are all equally fantastic. five iron frenzy has one of those rare capabilties to create 1,000,001 different sounds (3rd world think tank and litmus and combat chuck). God bless you guys... buy this cd!"

Best of FIF

"If I could have only one FIF CD, this one would be it. Where else can you find favorites like Oh Canada, Dandelions, Handbook for the Sellout and Every New Day all on one disk? Not to mention great new stuff like New Hope. Oh yeah, and it's live, which makes it even cooler. Buy it, love it, sing along and get funny looks from mainstream music types. "

The Quintessential Five Iron? Perhaps

Dan R | Denver, CO | 12/29/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Five Iron Frenzy makes a solid compilation of some of their best songs with the release of this live album, which will delight die-hard fans of the Denver ska-core ensemble and curious listeners alike. One of the things that has always set Five Iron Frenzy apart from other groups in their genre has been their unique stage presence and sense of humor, (which encludes dressing as the cast of Star Trek and crowd surfing a giant pinata filled with chili across their crowd) and these qualities are shown in this album. However, apart from the outrageously entertaining gimmicks of their live preformances, Five Iron Frenzy also offers fine musicianship and songwriting which is played out with even more energy than their studio records. These aspects distinguish the band from their contemporaries and make for an exillarating live experience. In short, Five Iron is a dish best experienced live, but this album is the next best thing (and is sadly the only thing available after the band announced their breakup in late November of 2003.)"

SKA-LOVERS DREAM CD!

"INCREDIBLE! This cd is absolutely incredible. The lyrics, the music, the energy, everything on this cd is awesome. Playing live is when Five Iron is at its best and this cd captures all of that. The best songs are One Girl Army, Handbook For The Sellout and without a doubt the best song on this cd is Every New Day! The energy and compassion in Reese Roper's vocals along with the tight sound of the band makes this song sweet. There are also funny moments on the disc like a cover of Tom Jones' "its not unusual" and the typical unusual five iron madeup songs like "receive him" and "kingdom of the dinosaurs". Overall i would reccommend this cd to anyone who loves ska music or just likes tight live music."
