i don't hate mest, but this is the best review i've ever read.

Mest rocks. This album rocks. Screw all the haters.

enough said.

plis talk to me maria_baralt@hotmail.com i love guysssssssss

i love tony lovato from: venezuela of:la nena 182 ilove jere i love matt ilove nick ilo veeeeee guyssssssss1

i don't really think it's there best. i personally like their older stuff better but they deserve all their success and i'm happy for them.

I actually really like this album. it's good, as long as you know what it is. it isn't punk and it's not supposed to be punk.

i think you all spend way too much time focusing on music you hate rather than music you like. why are over here making fun of mest for being posers? go put on your bad religion album and just listen to that instead.

problem solved.
it's not that hard to ignore the mainstream if you really hate it that much.

this has to be thier best cd after Photographs. the songs are great and really have meaning to them. i loved it!

YESSS MEST IS THE COOLEST BAND EVER! I am listening to mo money mo 40z now. XD SCREW ALL THE HATERS!

First of all Mest sounds nothing like the Ataris or Simple plan and I think anyone who wasted their time to post stupid things about Mest on here are just COMPLETE IDIOTS, shows they have no life what so ever!!! HAHAHA.. how childish

I cannot fucking believe any of the Mest reviews on here and the comments on them. FUCK.

Hey me Whatsername182 here. Mest I have to say Mo money Mo 40z now what a album. Hey no Mest bad talk as you no I posted the 2 comments below. Mest I love you and nothing will change I really hope Mest comes out with a new DVD, I watch THE SHOW MUST GO OFF all the time and even my warped tour 2003 DVD. I guess I have to stop me and my Crapphead face is out bye Tony, Jere, Nick, and lovely Matt.

MEST this is Whatsername182 and I LOVE YOU TONY. While all the littel posers show off there stupid pop CDs I show off MEST. I have all your CDs like Mo money Mo40z. The comment below was by me I dont like crapp talk so just remember I LOVE YOU. MEST ROCKS.

Dude I dont know why you haters waste your time talking crap. Dude Mest is by far the most awesome band in the world Duu. If you are gonna talk crap go talk it on rap singers, oh and all this white power stuff come on and all the crap on Tony I mean god Tony is my Idol so mm Tonys the hotest guy ever guylords God. I LOVE YOU MEST DONT MIND THE RETARDS CRAP TALK BECUASE I LOVE YOU.

Mest S/T= album of 2003?

Hmm. Mest...Hmm

Well, what this band can do is write good slow ballads.
I like the odd slow punk ballad and there have been some fantastic ones over the years. Mest are alright at doing these, Chelsea being one of the best. However, they are not the best at doing them. Far from it.

However, writing punk songs (which is 85% of the album) is not their strength. Infact, they suck at it. And although I like bands to branch out - Mest have done so poorly, using carribean music and samba stuff and punk to make some soul destroying music. And thus, their albums crash and burn in general.

mest is awesome. you suck.

...im getting a mest tattoo.

fucks.

I know you won't read this now but that review was brilliant. I had to photograph them tonight and I came to pretty much the same conclusion as you. Criticising them is like criticising a kids magician, sure it's not the real thing, it's not even any good but it keeps the kids happy so why complain? yup, good review, well done.

id wipe the spit from my face and then shit on you and your family. you cock.

ahahahahahaha, holy shit, get it!

if i saw someone with a mest tattoo, after i stopped laughing hysterically, i'd spit in their face

i love this album. and im thinking of getting a mest tatoo. fuck the "i hate mest" thing. i dont. so fuck off.

coheed =hell yes

i hope no one really got a mest tattoo as the cover suggests.

excellent review. and just to fuel the fire, coheed and cambria is amazing, one of the best bands out there today.

punx rock! oi oi oi

its called sarcasm

how dare ur punk ass compare the mother fucking gc loving peices of shit known as mest to thrice, pennywise, nofx, and ltj. u should be sued for crimes against punk

haha.. i actually like that review.. it hits the spot..

Hmmm, CoCa sucks ass. Shove your science fiction crap up your ass and out your mouth. Fucker.

-BSD

Mest sucks just as much as this review kicks ass, which is alot. -SaYnE_GuY

When Warped was here in Jacksonville, It was hard to tell if Mest, Simple Plan, or the Ataris were on stage. All sounded the friggin same.

Trash trash trash trash trash

Ummmm, Coheed and Cambria are fucking awesome. I always thought that being 20 somehting year old men and farting out lame ass highschool love songs to the beat of "bouncy pop tunes" would be a little dorkier then enjoying sci-fi. Especially when it is as well written as CoCa's. You sound like you heard one song and made up a opinion. Bash shit like this all you want, but dont talk about bands that actually strive to do something different and succeed. All I know is, the song "Delirium Trigger" is worth more then every song this joke has ever written...and then some.

I have a feeling many people that use this site are somewhat of social outcasts who hate cocksuckers who judge them for their choice in style, music, whatever. People who just didn't fit in with the "cool" crowd for whatever reason. But the reason kids group together in social circles (the "jocks," "preps," "dorks," "punks," whatever) is for security in an insecure time in their lives (the teenage years).

But by judging and stereotyping the people who listen to bands like Mest and Good Charlotte, you make yourselves hypocrites and ignorantly prejudiced (not in a racial way, but prejudiced against people who don't like the same things as you). Isn't that just as bad as the people who were judging you for rocking out to whatever bands you listen to?

If you don't like the music, say so. Say why. If you don't like a person, say so, say why. But don't be just another simple-minded idiot who uses this site.

ps, this is probably going to hit home for a lot of people, and they're going to get defensive and bash me, so they're the easiest fools to spot

no i'm serious. i think mest is about 50 times better than coheed and cambria. what makes coheed so great?
"me and my star, mattew goodnight, u know, by lord you'll be forgiven"

yea awesome lyrics, cool space dork lyrics, i see why all those kids with tight ass thrift store clothing and strokes hair dig this shit. its all relative. mest is cheesey, but their pop punk. coheed is some dungeons and dragons pretentious "their genious, wow its like ATDI meets rush" lame ass band. get over them they are fucking retarded.

trendys

Umm.. ok, while I am in no way a fan of Mest, I've got to say the white power comments are kind of ignorant. Educate yourself on the subject before you make accusations.

http://216.239.39.104/search?q=cache:9ABNSNahTN0J :www.jimdero.com/News2002/LiveApril5.htm mest white power band?&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

Saying Mest used to be a nazi band is pretty stupid. One guy drummed for a white power group when he was 13. That wasn't Mest. He was a kid. Kids do stupid things they regret. Get over it.

this is one of the funniest things I've read in a long while.

i should really register. i post enough on here.

haha

why don't you ask mest about there old band "confederate storm" the white power band. Don't belive me, ask them. Here in chicago this band is a the bigest joke.

holy shit people
no one should comment on this review... ever again. good fucking christ.

"PPS is post-post script

PS2 is a video game system.

This is captain english signing out."

ahahaha.

So we can now officially say that half of the people on this site are idiots.

"ps: the score is for the review.

ps2: the score is also for the record. "

it would be "pps" not "ps2".

PPS is post-post script

PS2 is a video game system.

This is captain english signing out.

The score is for the review...not Mest. As far as I'm concerned, the mainstream can have all of the "Mest" they want! Actually I hope they luv em and they become extremely successful so they can tour with other horrible bands like Good Charlotte and New Found Glory......oh wait that has pretty much already happened.

I don't even know why people bother to consider Mest anything special. They're on Maverick Records, which is owned by Madonna. They had no credibility as a band before they were signed and their songs are of the basic pop-punk vein. They're nothing special and can't even rip-off Goldfinger, geez...

HAHA! awesome review, but I think it was too intelligent for some of the kids on here to understand. Read the whole fuckin review and read it carefully before you start blabbering things like "when was benji a punk icon?" and shit like that. Goddammit i hate idiots

this score is for wussemorock being back!

You people crack me up.

Mo' Money was a good ska cd. This sucks.

This score is for the people who don't comprehend sarcasm. Funny shit.

this is the worst review i ever read in my life. to the guy who wrote the shit: PLEASE QUIT WASTING TIME, START SMOKING CRACK, YOUR LIFE WILL BE BETTER AND YOU WONT RUIN OURS.

thrice riffs? mest a hardcore punk band?

what the fuck are you saying? mest is like good charlotte. fuck ya dude! and fuck tony lovato and his haircut.

ps: the score is for the review.

ps2: the score is also for the record.

The only good thing about this band is the album cover they had with the midgets.

"I couldn't tell if the review was sarcastic or not"
-------
"Okay, so I apologize for the sarcasm"

What more do you guys need?? It was obvious and he even explicitly tell it at the end of his review...

God, how stupid can you people get?

TheMarc: I like the fact that you're giving the pop punk we dont really put any effort into covering some unbaised reviews. But you seem rather insecure when you start off every review with a paragraph defending yourself from "the site"... yeesh...

I love how ignorant and retarded half the users of the website are.

This was an awesome review though, cheers!

(Calvin and Hobbs gotcha)

"nigga you got to be hittin the pipe"

I didnt know Mest posted on here.

hahaha I agree with everything the reviewer said, even if it was a joke.

*****Wuss-Emo-Rock*****

"Pennywise-esque anger"
fucking gold my man fucking gold

actually mest sells pretty well over in japan, i think that's why they've still got a record deal.

I couldn't tell if this review was sarcastic or not, but Mest should never be mentioned in the same breath as any of those bands. They're a bunch of ab-polishing, pretty boy jock mother fuckers who think NOFX are cool but obviously missed the point that bands like them and all the other bands who's names good charlotte have stitched to thier pants for cred are trying to put out there like the ideals of DIY. Shitty bands like mest are killing the scene by bringing in jocks and psudo-beach bunnies and overpopulating things like Warp with crooked mesh hats and wife beaters. Fuck mest. Fuck them up thier stupid asses. It's shitty Major Lable A&R assembled bands like them and Simple Plan who are able to fool mainstream America into forgetting the point to Steve Jones and John Lydon saying "fuck" on live television and into thinking that shit like "SK8er Boi" is so punk rock.

Mest sucks but they weren't created by and A&R exec. They are just a bunch of douchebags like you and your friends who happened to meet john feldman at a goldfinger concert and suck him off shortly thereafter. The fact that 2 or 3 or whatever major label albums came out of that is still amazing considering how shitty there sales are.

I never knew that ass-clown's last name was Madden. Is he in any way related to John? That would explain why that shit-ass Anthem song repeats OVER AND FUCKING OVER while I'm beating some ass on Madden 2003.

Great review. Who would've thought name dropping could be so much fun?

my bad... i thought he produced their first record

"imagine how much worse this band, the used, good charlotte, and those bitches in showoff would be if he hadnt produced them... "

john feldman didn't produce for good charlotte. he just wrote their radio hits.

Thank god this was a joke

"not nearly as cheesy as coheed and cambria's space dork concept albums though."

i hope this was a joke

"i figured it out.
mest and good charlotte are the same guys in clever disguises."

funny shit. same music, same into-themselves-huge-ego pop punk queers

and the coverart looks like something the transplants would have.
i bet they kiss eachother.

guys, feldmann makes shit sound good...
imagine how much worse this band, the used, good charlotte, and those bitches in showoff would be if he hadnt produced them...
the real problem is that feldmann likes shitty bands. but seriously, that guy gets some nice guitar tone.

It is "rumoured" that you don't know shit about anything, let alone music.

People spell rumour that way in other parts of the world. Before you spout off, make sure you know what you're talking about.

Argh! We need more comments like this! You're not all supposed to be intelligent! Goddammit!

hmm, this album is a little too polished, they should ditch feldman, ever since the used i guess he thinks he must put strings in every song. its still good, but i think they've been on a steady decline since 'wasting time'. the songs just arent as catchy, and the jerimiah written songs straight up suck. if u don't like pop punk in the vein of mxpx,goldfinger and old greenday, stay the hell away from this album.its simplictic, but thats what makes mest great, not technical ability, but harmonies and hooks. catchy stuff, but i'm sure most people hate this band and would find it cheesy.

not nearly as cheesy as coheed and cambria's space dork concept albums though.

Why don't you spell check your review you fucking idiot. Just because you created some account does not mean that you need to act so condescending. "Apparantly," your "judgement" has no credibility when you write like a moron. It is "rumoured" that you don't know shit about anything, let alone music.

i figured it out.
mest and good charlotte are the same guys in clever disguises.

Nice one. The only thing funnier than sarcasm are people who don't get sarcasm at all.

i hate mest. really i do.

Ramo

I didn't read the whole review, because if it's as good as the first few paragraph's say it is, then I need to run out and buy it right away.

you should be shot for calling those assclowns 'punk' icons, douchbag.

There is such a thing as too sarcastic. When you said "with the passion of Thursday," I seriously wanted to knife you.

As for the actual record, are the lyrics as bad as they were on the other one? It's hard to top the awfulness that was "Cadallic." If I may quoth a passage:

"It's Friday night
What's going on tonight
I'll see her later on tonight"

Seems like they misplaced the ol' rhyming dictionary for this song. Are there any songs like this on the new album, and give examples. I'm in the mood for laugh.

there should be negative scores added to this website b/c if there is a band that truly deserves it, its mest.

This years clarity!>????? Mest blows!

Man that was fucking gold. Had me (and apparently everyone else) going for a while. Mest is pretty damn bad though.

I liked the last part best. With the benji as a icon, then Benji as a assclown. hahaha, i wish my review went off as well as this...oh well...back to the garage to make up another off the wall thing to write!

Brilliant review, "punk icon" hahahahahahaha, i needed this today-oldpunker-

nigga you got to be hittin the pipe. don't even compare this shit to clarity. that shit aint even funny.

Patti Smith is a stupid hippy.

the score is for sk8r boi. punk as all fuck. patti smith could have written that.

I couldn't tell if this review was sarcastic or not, but Mest should never be mentioned in the same breath as any of those bands.

wonderful review.

oh and 'the postal service' keyboards are actually ripped off almost directly from The Cure's "Homesick."

but again i really must stress how much i enjoyed that review.

"punk icon Benji Madden ?
Since when is that retard a punk icon?"

ever since you became one. read before you type. fuck.

punk icon Benji Madden ?
Since when is that retard a punk icon?

this review is classic. kinda shocked about that whole 'white-power' thing. but eh definitely sounds like he's moved on and past it. so i'll give the full score for this review, and for ignorant ass people changing their ways. kudos.

if it was just Mest, it would get like a 4 at best.

nevermind my question on the whole whitepower thing, this article tells the whole story:
http://216.239.39.104/search?q=cache:9ABNSNahTN0J:www.jim dero.com/News2002/LiveApril5.htm mest white power band?&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

That's a gold review

-Strewtho

I'd like to hear more about them being a white power band. Is this yet another rumour about an mtv-punk band or an honest thing?

jacobe

best review ever

My score is for the useage of ass-clown in place of Benji's name.

Chris Jericho is a genious.

Fun review. I'm laughing right now. Very good job in fooling me and apparently everyone else too. Half way through I could only wonder about the shit talking that would come forth, till I read the first line of the last paragraph. Once again, job well done.

-scotty

I was cracking up at first and then the comparisons kept going on and I was like "shit is he serious? He's keeping this up" and then I skipped to the second to last paragraph. And nice job not being a complete dick and bashing Mest horribly. I know I would

Wow, you had me fooled. I thought you were 100% serious until the last sentence... I was about to make an angry comment, but all in all, that was amusing.

Isn't one of the Mest guys a former Nazi? That's always a selling point!

HAY GUYS! MEST USED TO BE A WHITE POWER BAND! Fuck them. And it's the damn truth. Anyone who likes them is a closet racist.

HA!

ahahahahaa, I thought it was serious at first. good shit, score is for the review.

mest fukin roks dood

Wow... Is it pop-rock review week at punknews.org?

-BSD

that is some of the worst cover art i have ever seen.
-patemo

that was a great review. mest sucks balls.

"hay guys, we are best friends with good charlotte!"

one of the best reviews (score is for review) i've read on the site. and in a partially sarcastic way (alluding to the beginning part) i could not agree more with the review. except the score. it'd be more along the lines of a 1...maybe a 2 if i was feeling REALLY generous. i actually do like their older stuff...but this is just bad

whoa decent review...someone who actually knew what he was saying...not bad...

yeah, that was definitely a joke. funny stuff.

it is numnuts. its a joke from calling mest hardcore to benji madden and punk icon. John Feldman sucks now. Him and his PETA and producing posuer punk. GOd damn i hate benji madden.damn i-wanna-be-a-punk, hot topic wearing, cock jockey.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That review was awesome.

That was truly beautiful.

i really really really hope this review is a joke.

Oh man, that review was genius. Totally had me going, too. Good work!
