I don't think I'll ever forget how badass this album is. It slapped my 14 year old face around and still does so frequently.

I love half of the songs and never listen to the rest. Song for the Deaf is probably in my top few hundred songs though, excellent piece of work.

I was just thinking the other day how I hadn't listened to this album in ages. I'm gonna have to track this one down again and give it a whirl.

Sure is.

I couldn't beleive what I heard when I bought this cd, it's just so intense.

I had countless nights on the road with a j and some friends cranking the hell out this thing. And I bought it on the day it came out for 7 bucks.

yeah. it was a real slap in the face to me when I bought it. I remember that day perfectly, because nothing could have wiped the smile off of my face as soon as Millionaire kicked in.

My life is better now that I have rebought this album. I lent it to my ex last July, and we broke up in august. So it's been almost a year. Too long, too long. But it's good now. I have songs for the deaf and I no longer have to worry about ever having to deal with that psycho bitch again. It was getting to the point where I was going to call her to get it back, but that would have resulted in a summer of being harrassed by the crazy bitch. I'm glad I saw the album really cheap

Awesome album. I recently got an actual copy after dealing with a burned one for years. Makes it just a little more awesomer. :bammer:

I'm eternally conflicted about this album.

On the one hand, I detest the wretchedly spartan production. On the other hand, that's precisely its appeal.

Great songwriting and perfomances though. Dave Grohl beats all our asses.

I don't like it that much. I like No One Knows so when one day I found this record cheap I bought it, but I listened to it a couple of times and then stopped for monthes. The other day I was looking for a driving CD and decided to give this another chance, but I had to put it out of the player because some of it really suck. Yeah, I said it.

It took me a while to get into the whole thing, but the first time i heard it was at a listening station in a record store. I had no idea who they were other than the fact that i knew they had Grohl drumming on some songs. Millionaire tore my face off and i didn't even bother listening to the rest - i bought it right away. I barely listen to it anymore because i'm always listening to the first two :oops:

I personally prefer Lullabies, but even if I was swayed the other way, "definitely" is bold, pushing tomfoolery.
