"Lifetime is definitely the best punk band to come out of NJ. The first time I listened to this cd I didn't get so into it, but the more and more I listened to it the more and more it grew on me. I can't wait to buy the rest of Lifetime's albums. What a shame I didn't catch on to them earlier...."

90's emotional hardcore at its best.

"This album, over the years, has meant more to me than almost anything. I can remember the summer between my freshman and sophomore year of college. I was interning at a company and a lady gave me a Tower gift card for my help. I went and bought this CD. This was in 1997 and I've listened to this album on a weekly if not daily basis since then!!! I can remember my sophomore year of college having my heart broken by a girl and going home and popping this CD in. It was almost like Ari knew how I was feeling. If I'm in the right mood, this album still brings tears to my eyes. (Go ahead and call me an "emo pu%@y." Hey, I have played in "tough guy" hardcore bands and I'll still admit this. haha.)



Imagine the perfect hardcore punk band complete with emotion, energy, sincerity, and catchiness and you still wouldn't come close to lifetime. I only wish bands that meant this much to me were still around.



Oh and to the kid who said that Saves The Day didn't rip off Lifetime...have you ever heard Saves The Day's "Can't Slow Down" album? If that album isn't a BLATANT ripoff of "Jersey's Best Dancers" then I don't know what is."

Easily the best punk band of all time

"all i can say about this band is wow. they play a extremely fast paced, aggressive punk rock with emoish lyrics(dont tell hardcore kids that they will kill ya). they have the ability to start a song off at the fastest most amazing tempo and then just slow it down to a groovish brake down. this cd doesnt have a bad song on it. its one of the few cds i have that i can listen to all the way through without skiping a song. if you are a punk rock kid who listens to saves the day, grey area, or kid dynamite(the guitarist from kid dynamite was in lifetime and wrote most of the music) buy this lifetime cd and hello bastards. Those two cds influenced those three bands as well as many others. if you like those lifetime cds a lot try out there other two,background and seven inches, they are much more hardcore but still good."
