Protein - Ever Since I Was a Kid

One of the Bay Area's best bands of all time

Cant say enough about Protein and this CD. 11 years old and is still better than almost any music coming out today. They were even better live, I was fortunate enough to book Protein back in the day. English Rose, Santa Rosa, Ca. 22 Fillmore, Protein, The F*cking A#, Welt and Monster Zero. This CD would be a bargain at $100! April 8, 2008

Hilarious and Witty

I found this CD one day in a music store, and picked it up at random - actually, I saw the song title "Slightly Bitchy Philosopher Dream Chick Meets the Insecure Martian Prophet", and had to head straight to the listening station. I bought the CD right away, and never regretted it.

While the lyrics are inarguably adolescent, they're still brilliantly funny. The music behind them can only be described as really fun - Protein is the polar opposite of every self-involved, egotistical, ultra-serious Top 40 band around.

All in all, a great CD. May 20, 2003

all seriousness aside

If your tired of music of late taking itself way too seriously, you should definately own this disc. I think the lyrics have a playful/childish tone yet insightful and philosophical at the same time. "My climb through time to define this design, just takes time and wastes time, its over my head" " The waitress has fangs, in my dream , its so strange, cause the waitress is Jesus, its over my head" - Over my Head - I feel the message of this song is to get busy living and stop trying to guess the meaning of so many riddles. Other lyrics point to the way I felt growing up, but didnt know how to describe. Another plus for me is that I like to own music that nobody I know, has heard about. I wouldnt be surprised if I own thew only copy in town. April 6, 2000

Smart, funny lyrics

This is one of the best and funniest CDs I have heard, which is saying alot, coming from a collection including everything from Wierd Al to Presidents of the United States of America, to Marcy Playground. This is a great CD, a must have, and I am waiting for something like it to come along. Protein, make another! November 1, 1998

A CD you must have

Protein has the punk edge of todays popular bands without going too punk. The lyrics are sometimes strange, but definitely catchy. The beat they keep is rocking, especially the bass. I bought this CD after seeing the band live. This band rocks, and I highly recommend adding it to your CD collection!!!!!!!! August 1, 1998
