There are few bands that compare, FenixTX rocks hardcore. This CD is well worth the buy.
February 20, 2007This album isn't awful and it is not hardcore punk album by any means but it is a sugary sweet punk album that is actually better than blink 182. Lechuza is a better album this album sounds sort of bland like New found glory, good charlotte or simple plan and Blink themselves who actually opened the flood gates to these little super poppy-punk bands. Pop- punk has always existed since the 70's (Buzzcocks, Dickies, Undertones) it's just that some bands can pull it off (Green day, descendents,vandals) and some bands can't. This is an ok release and probably one of the better from this particular genre. best songs: "surf song", "speechless" , "G.B.O.H."

Look, this CD, though banal and ill-conceived like a debut CD, is not... get that through your heads. These charming gentlemen were the band River Fenix, and had releases since 96... anyways, this is a terrible CD, uninventive, clichéd and down right scary... I'm just amazed that they could go from this trite sack of power pop punk garbage to the even more abominable and insipid neo-emo now on the radio with their latest release...
September 22, 2003I'd expect people who listen to Nofx or BR to have the intelligence of knowing not to touch this CD. But for those pop punkers out there, this CD might be for you.
All My Fault, Minimum Wage and Jolly Green Dumbass are great songs. The Surf Song has got the be the worst song I've ever heard tho. So some you might like, some you might not.
Remember, their second one is better, and they have broken up.
P.S.: I gave this 4 star b/c of the Surf Song. It is really THAT bad, even for a pop punker. May 30, 2003

"The only difference is that Fenix,Tx has one more guitar than blink and Travis (and Scott) are/were better drummers then the drummer for Fenix,Tx." your high you obviously haven't heard lechuza damon was/is one of the best drummers ever... travis is a great drummer and i wouldn't have busted your balls if you had only said travis but scott was horrid."
I dont know how much you know about drums, but scott is a better drummer then the fenix tx drummer, and certainly better than travis. I dont think ive ever heard a drummer put drums to songs that matched them and connected so well as scott did. All travis does is just put fancy fills into songs and everyone thinks he's the best. Secondly this cd is superb, check out specchless, ben and minumum wage, also, mark hoppus is in the " all my fault" video clip. May 23, 2003
