Disco de Strung Out: “Another Day in Paradise”

Strung Out has been my favorite band for several years now. This is their first CD and it already shows their ability. If you have ever heard their second and third full-length CD you know what I'm talking about. This is a must buy, or record, or steal (although I don't condone that), or find, or. . .

This CD rules. It is one of my favorite punk cds of all time. I saw them at the warped tour and they are just as good on the CD. Get this CD. It rules.

With the glut of awful skatecore bands plaguing the earth, it would be easy to pass off Strung Out as just another baggy-pants teenage fad. Well, this was their first effort for Fat Records, and their best. Back when they still had a slightly metal tinge to their sound that made them stand out. Nowadays, they're just another melodicore band in an overcrowded field of them, which is too bad. But many formerly decent bands have followed this path (Lagwagon) so it really isn't surprising. So if skatecore is your thing, any Strung Out album will do, but if you want to hear pre-"just another Fat band" Strung Out then pick this one up.

i used to own this album, but i sold it. For a strung out album and a fat band. It's actually not that good. It's lacks a lot of power that they have gained in the 3 realeases after this one. If you are a first time strung out buyer....buy twisted by design!!!! it is wonderful.
