After being a serious fan of this band for years, i am still blown away by this record. This is gr at their finest. It's a perfect mesh of melodic punk, hardcore and intensity. Not to mention that there is not only a cover of battalion of saints "second coming" , but also a secret cover track of " my war" by black flag. My personal favorite gr album... This is truly essential.

Good Riddance is a really great band, and this is a really great cd. buy this cd, and you will surely want to buy more!

This is the only Good Riddance album I own, but I'm sure to buy more, because it's awesome. Really awesome.

This CD is totally good, much faster than other albums like comprehensive guide.... but more raw and less polished than the newer albums, this is a good. Get it, but if you want to see the range of good riddances's music, I would suggest Ballads from....

This is a very accomplished CD, it's very polished and well produced yet still sounds raw and powerful. The songs are well written and straight to the point and also very catchy whilst not losing their meaning. My only major criticism is that after a few listens, the songs do tend to merge together, as their songs do sound similar, however there are many memorable songs on the CD. Nice touches are the little clips of speeches between songs that further enhance the subject matter, such as Martin Luther King at the start of "Shadows of Defeat". My favourite song on the album would probably have to be "Hardest Part", "A Time and A Place" or "Letters Home". Overall, this CD is well worth your money as its very good and an enjoyable listen that'll have you singing along to it.

This CD is fucking incredible. Theres some really hardcore punk here so for all you badass emo lovers out there stay away from this band. This is my first Good Riddance purchase and im pretty stoked with it. so buy it, right now.

The frickin' Vietnam War is over soldiers. Good Riddance does not stand for good cd in this case. I would rather have sex with the Backstreet Boys than buy this cd twice.

great cd by a great band i love every song on this cd and i listen to it a lot even though i have had it forever and im just typing this so you better buy this cd!
