Mest Album: “Wasting Time [PA]”

If you like MXPX or The Ataris, you are sure to like Mest. This cd is great and I dont skip over any of the songs. This is a great chill-out cd! Lyrics like "the feeling is gone, the pain dwells on.." (on Long Days, Long Nights) are a winner. All of thier songs have an orignal sound to it they all sound different and they rock. They combine ska with pop punk very well, like in "Slow Motion" where they start out with the ska rhymth and then snap into punk. This is a must have, get it now!

Whoah...this CD is incredible. This is Mest's best CD, closely followed by Destination Unknown. All of the songs are very upbeat, fast, and well-written. Tony's got an amazing voice, and, along with Nick's great drumming, Matt's bass, and Jeremiah's awesome guitar skills, this CD is a must-have if you are a fan of punk, punk-pop, emo, or alternative rock. BUY IT!!

Long Days, Long Nights (8/10) a great, fast-paced song that really starts the CD off right

Hotel Room (10/10) one of the best on the album, Tony's voice goes so perfect with the catchiness of this song. An AWESOME song

What's the Dillo (6/10) this is the only song I dont personally like, its too repeatative and annoying or something

Slow Motion (9.5/10) I love this song. Its just like the name, slow at first with great guitarness (haha not a word but whatever) and then it suddenly goes into this fast melody. A great song on this album

Drawing Board (9/10) a lot of people could relate to this song, having been dumped and continually writing songs about them but knowing theyll never like it. A highlight of the album, though a bit slower, its a really cool song

Change (7/10) Its a really cool song; the beginning is boring but it gets better. My 2nd lest favorite on the cd but still cool

Forget You (8/10) good lyrics, I would like it better if tony sang it but still a great song, another many people (like me) can relate to

Electric Baby (8/10) a funny song, well-written, very awesome

Girl For Tonight (10/10) From this song up, I would say this CD gets more awesome than ever thought imaginable. An incredible song, very upbeat and punk-poppish

Lonely Days (10/10) a great thing about mest, so many of their songs you can relate to. This is another one, about being alone and so torn and just wanting to be with someone but knowing you cant. Fast-paced, upbeat, catchy; a highlight of the album

Richard Marxism (9/10) another song song by Jeremiah. With this song, though, a more serious one, his voice goes perfectly with the beat and melody of this song. An awesome song

Random Arrival (10/10) Love this song, a definite party song. Nick's drumming is highlighted in this song and this song really gets you in a fun mood. Highlight of the album

The Last Time (11/10) fastest song on the album, one of my personal favorites. I can relate to this one a lot and a lot of people could too. An extremely catchy, upbeat, and fun song

Wasting My Time (12/20) best song on the CD, slow at first and then unpredictably (the first time you hear it anyway) goes into a fast, sincere beat that is just amzaing. Great way to finish the album. LOVE THIS SONG !!

BONUS TRACK: F*** the Greyhound Bus (9/10) hilarious!! the bonus track, very funny

Hey I really like this cd a lot. After seeing mest play with Goldfinger (another great punk band!) at the end of August I had to get this album. I also got their other cd mo' money mo' 40 oz's. Both albums rock. Mest were really great live! All the kids were going nuts when they played and they were very energetic. I like the whole album a lot but my favorites tunes off it are long days long nights, hotel room, drawing board, random arrival, richard marxism, and wasting time so I suggest everyone go out and get this rad album from a great band!

Hey, I'm a fan of lots of types of music and I think good pop-punk always goes well with summer. I bought SR-71 but that let me down, but trust me, Mest won't. With great melodies and catchy lyrics you can't go wrong. I'm sure everyone's heard the single "What's The Dillio" on their local alternative station (if you haven't, call up and request it, you're missing out). Mest doesn't bring much new to the table but so what, we're not all looking for deep artistic changes, we're just looking for good music to have fun to and that's what Mest is. There's a song about a girl and a guitar, and my personal favorite "Long Days, Long Nights". Look out for these guys when they're on tour because they will be big someday.

Girl for Tonight- 9/10 Fast, simple, great song

Lonely Days- 10/10 Cool lyrics, a bit short, still great

Richard Marxism- 10/10 My favorite of the album, hilarios, amazing chorus

Random Arrival- 10/10 Nothing outside of the normal, but it's a great song

The Last Time- 9/10 Simple, but fine

Wasting my Time- 9/10 A perfect ending of an album

F--ck the Greeyhound Bus- 10/10 Hilarios, fast , an excellent ghost track
