 Another solid album from a very underrated band Oct 19, 2008
Ive been a fan since 2000 and this band keeps spitting out great albums and great songs. Basically every song except maybe 2 tracks are awesome. Very catchy choruses, great riffs, another excellent album.
Amazing! Oct 09, 2008
I picked up this album when it came out because I honestly liked the cover of it. I had heard of Zebrahead before with their single "Playmate of the Year."
I could never find any of their other stuff until now. So, I guess my opinion probably won't match up to anyone else who has been listening to them for a long time but I'd like to share it anyway.
I was actually turned off by the beginning of the first song and I put the cd down because I thought it was all going to sound like that. But, a few days later I picked it up, listened to it straight through, and then repeated that process at least 10-15 times so far. Songs 4-14 are perfect to me.
I love the rap/rock genre. It's like 311 but with way faster guitar/drums and just everything in between. It has the rap to start the song out and then it goes to the amazing singing for the catchy chorus.
Like I said, I just now started to love Zebrahead but they are one hell of a good band. I really enjoyed it and now I'm going to try really hard to get the rest of the bands albums.
Favorite track is Ignite by the way. A very solid band, very solid album.
 2 1/2 Stars Sep 23, 2008
Why doesn't Amazon use half stars in its rating system? Anyway, I give this cd 2 1/2 stars. I am a big Zebrahead fan, but unfortunately, I think that this is their worst cd. It's not bad by any means, just disappointing to me. A few things were different on this cd than on their previous efforts, and I felt it was problematic:
1) I think this is by far the fastest cd they have ever put out. Normally that would be a great thing, and I love fast music, but I also think Zebrahead is great at mixing up the pace and making all speeds of music sound great. But since they don't do that on this cd, as a result, all the songs sort of sound the same and blend together. Although I don't really dislike a single song on this cd, there isn't a single one that I really love either.
2) Matty is lost in the mix on this cd. Ali does by far the most singing, and Matty is left to do the single, short, repetitive chorus on each song. They keep this same formula on almost every song.
3) Most of the humor has gone out of their lyrics. The most "fun" song on this cd would probably have to be their first single, "Mental Health." Their lyrics still are decent, but it seems like they are taking themselves too seriously these days.
Overall, again, it's not a bad cd, but it's nothing that you can listen to over and over again. And you have to be a big fan of the rap vocals and care less about the melodies and be more into speedy punk music with hip-hop vocals. And if you are, you will likely love this cd. But I prefer the more melodic style of MFZB.
Also, the dvd extra is nothing special. There is a lot of stuff on there, and occasionally some good stuff like their music videos that you would likely never see anywhere else, but their home footage is for super die-hard fans only. It's boring, redundant, and there is no point to it.
Bottom line: if you like all of their previous efforts you will probably not dislike this; but it will also probably be very forgettable.
Zebrahead's BEST album so far! Aug 18, 2008
I love track 15, "All for None, And None for All." It has a pumping rhythm and you just want to crank it up. There are a lot of songs on this CD. Ali and Greg are masters of their talent. I think some of these songs will soon be discovered and make it on XM Radio, movie soundtracks, just wait and see!

an underrated band Aug 07, 2008
I am not much of a fan of rap metal or rap, but being zebrahead fan since playmate of the year, i've grown to like them more with each album. For this latest album, it is awesome. I am sad to see that they do not get much recognition since a lot of bands are not as innovative and original as zebrahead. However everyone would know zebrahead, right? anyways highly recommended that you get this album if you're a fan of zebrahead, or just another person who wants to blast this album and broadcast this to the world!
