"I love this record.



It's the best, most fully realized 'reunion' album among any of the 'reunion' albums this or that reformed band from 20yrs ago may have made. Bands like Wire and Mission of Burma have made fine records in recent years, but I like this one best.



They didn't try to change anything that made the band great in the first place. And yet they didn't try to relive the past. It's just the Effigies, reinvigorated and making new music together, same old way only different.



Their best since For Ever Grounded."

CHICAGO PUNK AT IT'S BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

""RESIDE" captures all of the "Chicago Punk Sound", as well as it has ever been. "Reside" is an album for those of us who remember a day when lyrics matter, and combined with strong musical notes, makes for an EXCELLENT CD. Purchase "RESIDE" and remember the days in the mosh pit at the "old" (wells street) or "new" (north ave.) EXIT. The band is older and wiser than in the past, and as with fine wine, the band has only gotten better with age. So go grab a PBR and put on a pair of old "Doc's" and give "RESIDE" a listen."

Welcome back Effigies!

"I'll start by saying this is not an unbiased review, I've been a fan of The Effigies since the mid 80's.



The new album reside doesn't dissapoint, several of the songs strike a reminiscent chord of days gone by, but that is exactly what I was looking for. I also hope there is more to come.



Reside is a worthy purchase."
