Summary: This CD is sick!!!
Comment: The dude that gave this CD 1 star is crazy!!! ...This is their 4th album and all of them are top notch...Sublime is my favorite band, but for modern day bands I put them up there with Stoopid, Pepper etc...There could've been a few more tracks on this album considering one is a skit, another cover song and 2 songs from previous albums, but the new stuff like Paper Chains, Wide Awake and Take a Ticket are silly!...Buy this CD asap, but get the others first so you can see the bands progression...my 2 cents

Summary: Reggae Roots
Comment: Best CD to find since Cronchitus came out by Slightly Stoopid. Everyone in this band is talented and uses it. They change up tempo in songs, tasty guitar licks, that reaggae bass line. Can't say enough about this classic CD. Good s%it.

Summary: Most Talented Group In Decades
Comment: The Expendables are each extremely talented, and if you can appreciate great rock guitar playing, mixed with a California surf sound, then you will love this CD. It is addicting - the more you listen, the more you love it. We've seen them live 4 times now, and will continue to support them whenever they grace us with their appearances in Texas. They have transformed & expanded my musical tunnel view. I absolutely love them! AND they are very friendly & nice to talk to before & after their shows.

Summary: Became a fan after seeing them live
Comment: Whomever decided to diss this CD is ridiculous. I don't think it's possible to be a Slightly Stoopid and Sublime fan and not LOVE this band!
This album is great! I have seen the Expendables play live twice and will be seeing them again this weekend. I live in Indiana and am not at all a friend of the band. I first saw the Expendables last April 2007 when they opened up for one of my favorite bands, G.Love and Special Sauce in Bloomington, IN. We had never heard of them before and were VERY happy to have experienced their show. My boyfriend and I became instant fans and quickly purchased "Open Container" and "Gettin' Filthy". My boyfriend loved them so much that he bought us tickets to see G.Love and the Expendables again for their IL show. We were so pumped to see the Expendables open and I think we were the only ones singing all the songs at the top of our lungs because, like us originally, the rest of the crowd had never heard the Expendables before.
Since we live in the Midwest, there aren't a ton of bands that come through and it's hard to hear about new bands that don't get radio play. After learning more about the Expendables, we also started listening to Slightly Stoopid and Pepper, which we had never heard before.
This album is great and you can tell the band has really grown up. I bought it the day it came out and love it! My favorite song is 'Ganja Smugglin' (an Eek-A-Mouse cover) because I remember when they played it at the first show and it was great! 'One More Night' and 'Down, Down, Down' complete my top 3 from the album.
Don't listen to what the bad reviewer said. These guys are great! They are definitely comparable to Slightly Stoopid and are currently on a Stoopid tour and record on the Stoopid label. I do agree there is some metal guitar with a reggae style, so if you're really not into guitar riffs at all, you probably should stick more with Stoopid.
Regardless, this is a great album and a really great up and coming band. I really hope they get to headline their own tour soon!
-Can't wait to see them this weekend when they open up for Slightly Stoopid in Bloomington, Indiana!

Summary: Not good
Comment: Sounds like an 80's metal cover band trying to rework their songs with a little reggae, because it would sell better. I got suckered into buying this album on the strength of the reviews, and all of the positive comparisons to Slightly Stoopid and Sublime. These guys are nowhere near as talented as the previous two bands, and obviously got all their friends to write good reviews for them. Every track has the same cheesy mid-80's metal guitar riff mixed in somewhere. Consider yourself warned.
