August 29, 2008Its nice to hear real punk rock like Pennywise. They were one of the headliners at RiverRave 2008 in Boston along with STP, i never heard them before and i was surprised they were nearly headlining the whole show ahead of Everlast and Filter. Now i know why, this album is excellent. As i've heard from others as well, they're one of those rare bands that gets better with time. If your lookin for real punk, pick this up guarantee you won't be disappointed.
August 11, 2008I love every song on this CD which is rare. A lot of times there are one or two songs that aren't real good, but not on this CD. Excellent.

Pennywise have added new definitions to punk music with Reason to Believe. The first is the way the band has chosen to release it by only distributing it for free via [...] for a two week period. The album is one of the best new releases on MySpace Records and this decision by the band is an intelligent one. Some think this record is their best to date because the band's music is stronger, tighter and sonically appealing, while others like the older sound that's more raw/garage punk-ish.
To each his own.
Some of the best songs on Reason To Believe are "Something to Live for" and "One Reason" due to their fast and hard driving guitars. This Southern California quartet have written some more melodic songs like "We'll Never Know", which has guitarist Fletcher Dragge putting out great riff after riff and drummer byron McMackin pounds away on the drums. This is one of Pennywise's best releases.
May 24, 2008I rarely review albums, but I really feel I must on this one. I have been a Pennywise fan for years, and think Unknown Road and Straight Ahead are two of the most fundamental punk albums of all time. Like some other fans, I have been underwhelmed by PWs more recent album. But this one is different. Yes, it is a little more like Bad Religion, with deeper bass and more heavy drums. But it is also just plain different -- darker, harder, more hardcore, and just plain great. Just listen to "One Reason" twice, and you will see what I mean. This is not just Pennywise, it is Pennywise with a serious attitude. I'm not sure what happened, but I like it a lot. If you were not happy with "The Fuse," buy this quickly. You will not be disappointed.
