"Not to be a bickering contrarian, but this isn't merely a collection of B-sides as stated by the 2 previous reviews! It's actually the bands demo, which was later released as their first ep, and some covers and compilation tracks. Now that we have gotten that out of the way...this is the beginning of an awesome melodic punk powerhouse. These recordings are way more impressive in my opinion than the debut lp "Change Is A Sound", which seemed a bit unfocused and a little stale. Exit English redeemed them in my book, but the original 5 song demo/ep is a crucial own for anyone slightly interested in this band! Recommended for fans of Dag Nasty, Gorilla Biscuits(there are covers of both bands on this release), Good Riddance, as well as newer bands Like Comeback Kid and From Ashes Rise. Awesome melodies, righteous politics, and a little fun thrown in the blender give you the perfect soundtrack for a Critical Mass ride, an anti-WTO protest, or just cleaning the house...Change is indeed a sound!"

Yeah, it's good

"First off I am a little biased because i'm such a huge Strike Anywhere fan..I own Change Is A Sound which is an amazing album, and also am a huge fan of Exit English. I've seen this band live and have talked to the members- so overall, i just love this band, because they bring something new to a completely dead style -punk-. This CD is nowhere close to change is a sound or exit english, but i dont think it was meant to be...it's just a few b-sides, but they still rock. The stand out track is definatly "chorus of one", an excellent live song. So if you're going to get into strike anywhere, don't start here, go get yourself a copy of "change is a sound" or "exit english"- hope it helps."
