It may be cliché to say, but adversity really does tend to bring out the best in people. Take the recent effort from Reggie And The Full Effect, Songs Not To Get Married To. It's hardly a secret that much of the album is inspired by James Dewees' recent divorce, and the result is the most solid collection of tracks from the project since Greatest Hits 84-87.

this cd is like nu-metal Wow, James Dewees really could've done better. This album has some pretty horrible moments. not impressed, they sounded a lot better live when u were touring with my chemical romance, im not sure how reggie and the full effect got arecord deal for songs not to get married to this is a great CD...The Fuck Stops here has to be my favorite song on the CD, but overall great CD and its amazing that he can sing excpetionally well when he can barley even talk Anyone who doesn't like this album knows nothing of music. this joke stopped being funny in 1999 Reggie and the Full Effect have one good song. You can hear it on Emogame.com.... that is the only good one. That song gets the nine for complete rockicity and a dash of cool-beans. The rest of them could just rot in ignominy like the hordes that have gone on before to be forgotten by the masses and sink into oblivion. Reggie, your full effect has been neutralized. It is now Reggie and the Half Effect. reggie makes me want to cry go listen to hatebreed you 30 year old jock. More like "Songs not to listen to"... this is terrible That dwarf song he has is fucking awful. I finally got my first taste of reggie at the cleveland NFG show...eh. Not impressed. the gimmicky stuff wasn't funny and was just kind of homo-erotic and lame. the power pop songs were alright...i was pretty underwhelmed. i don't see how people get so into these guys. "Best song they ever made is "Megan Is My Friend To The Max" "I've never listened to this band, can anyone reccomend me a good album to check out?" Best song they ever made is "Megan Is My Friend To The Max" I agree that Greatest Hits gives the most music bang for your buck (Promotional Copy and Under the Tray have a lot of skits on them), I also believe, however, that through each CD the music itself has evolved and become a lot more interesting and solid. Really, I would say the best way to do it is to try to grab a couple of mp3's from each album and see what you think. you should check out the rerelease of greatest hits 84-87 I've never listened to this band, can anyone reccomend me a good album to check out? sounds like they were both fucking everyone but each other. "Furthermore, last spring, Dewees decided to split from Megan, his wife of a year and a half." "correction. she divorced him" "Somewhat related, I was listening to the radio yesterday coming home from class, and they played an old Anniversary song, and it reminded me how fucking awesome they were in their Designing a Nervous Breakdown era" I'll that I've heard so far was the new song by Klaus of Common Denominator... "Go buy T-shirt!" great review. It actually makes me want to *shudders* drive to Best Buy. I love this album. Good review. There was a Coalesce reunion. Three years ago. Somewhat related, I was listening to the radio yesterday coming home from class, and they played an old Anniversary song, and it reminded me how fucking awesome they were in their Designing a Nervous Breakdown era Personally I love this cd, I enjoy all the songs. My favorite songs from the cd are: Get Well Soon, Take Me Home Please, Thanks for the Misery, and Playing Dead. Not to mention it's great to see peoples freaked out reactions when they hear you listening to Love Reality. I give it two thumbs way up the ass... meaning very good. This is a damn good album. one of their best. correction. she divorced him yeah, and its not much of a secret this guy was cheating on his wife left and right. He's made some good tunes and all, but just doesn't seem like the nicest guy in the world What The Hell is Contempt is with the lead singer of from autumn to ashes and he is on another song too and the lead singer of coalesce is on a different song Fiya review "get well soon" is such a good song This record is super-heavy, musically. It's also really fun live (I just got home from seeing them open for New Found Glory). Aubin said it right: It's the best album since 84-87. i can't stand 3/4 of this cd this record is growing on me. it does a good job of staying reggie while totally being different at the same time. good for james for that alone - even if it isn't the best rock and roll, he can make his band sound many different ways but still have an altogether coherence. No big deal here. Good music, but probably something i'll forget about by the end of the year. The best achievement of this album is making a song full of crunchy guitars and screaming, and still have a track by Common Denominator that stands out. |
