1. Its a good collection of songs, but i think HTDAAB is (whilst far from their worst) ultimately a very poorly guided record. They started out wanting a pure punk rock record, then they brought in Lilywhtite who Fucked everything up by telling them the record wasn't right, and so they put it back in the oven for another year, touching up songs until the original idea was cyphered out of them, and you were left with some sort of half-breed album. How much better would LAPOE have been with full production? Or ABOY with pure punk production? The Morale is they should have picked one direction and stuck with it, instead they changed course and sailed to a hybrid somewhat unsure of it's own purpose. And while some tracks are magic, and some greatly improved live, what could have been will always stand out more than what was.

    If you have any thoughts please respond.
