"From Jacksonville, Florida comes Start Trouble with a great Debut album. The CD opens with a fast-paced song called "Graduation" and I think it's much better than Vitamin C's song with the same title. It continues with what could posiibly be the best 2 songs on the album, "Non-Stop" and "Chemical" with a reegae-pop/punk feel to it, it is easily one of the best songs of the year and should have been a hit. The CD continues with quality, foul-mouthed, fun songs and leads to track 8 "Retaliate" which is the top song on the album. Pick it up if you love pop/punk."

Decent debut...

"I first heard of Start Trouble via the Music Choice channels. They were playing the single "Chemical" and it caught my attetion. That was in January, and I have been anticipating this release since then. Now that I have finally gotten my hands on this CD, I figured I'd share my thoughts with other Amazon.com customers. A majority of these songs are about [mature situations], partying, and just having a fun time. 1. Graduation- pretty good way to start the cd, lots of energy 4/5
2. Non-Stop- Supposedly the second single. The lyrics, while a bit stupid, are pretty funny ... Other than that, not too great 3.5/5
3. Chemical- The reason I bought this CD. Others have said this song is incredibly stupid, but I love it. 5/5
4. Throw the Covers- Another song about being a "rebel", kind of like something Good Charlottle might write, if not for the swearing. 3/5
5. Diggin' Holes- Probably my favorite filler track. Of course, I'm hoping that in time it may be released as a single. 4.5/5
6. Psychotic for You- About having such a large crush on some girl that he's resorted to stalking her. Eh, it could be better 3/5
7. Please Leave- I really like this song, even though it seemingly promotes self-mutilation. 4/5
8. Retaliate- I really like the chorus to this song. 4/5
9. Get Over It- A break up song. What bands nowadyas don't have something like this? 3/5
10. Chorus For Destruction- A catchy "punk" like sound. 4/5
11. Wicked Eyes- Eh... This song doesn't really stand out. 3/5
12. Changes- See track 11. 3/5
13. Move B***h- Reminds me of that Ludacris song, only more annoying. I'm guessing that this is a novelty track. 2/5
14. Let's Get F****d Up- Either another novelty track, or a "blink-182"-esque track, though I find this one more funny than track 13. 4/5Overall a 50/70, not too shabby. The biggest problem I found with these guys is that they sound too much like pretty much every other "punk" band on MTV, but with more swearing."

Hmmm....

"The first night I spent with this cd I couldn't really turn it up loud enough to hear what the guys where sayin'. I thought, man, this cd really itn't what I cracked it up to be. See I had already told everyone I worked with, all my friends, my girlfriend what a good cd this was going to be. I was almost ashamed to think I had said that...Wait tho, this review isn't over. I played it several times the next day. I was going to make myself like this cd. I knew I couldn't be wrong about these guys. And I wasn't ,wow, at all! I was so right about them. This cds overpacked with wild goofy humor! I love every song on here. Even their suckiest song still is better than what's on the radio here in NC. They sound like Blink-182 except different. Buy this cd for the member in your fam that is a fan of Zebrahead or Blink-182 and they won't be disapointed!"
