The Get Up Kids Album: “Red Letter Day/Woodson”

Listen up people, if you ever get sick of your CDs and you're like "Dude, all rock sounds the same, I wish I could find something new," then my friends, I understand your pain. But luckily there's a cheap & easy solution. Open the door, stroll on up to your local record store and look for the combined EP's of Woodson and Red Letter Day. (If they don't have it, simply suckerpunch the weakest-looking clerk in the face and hope to God he isn't packing any surprises. After the chaos subsides, politely ask him to order it for you.) This is such a damn good CD, and one of those fresh breaths of air that we all need from time to time. These guys can work lyrics like nobody's business--on paper, they almost appear to be a short, poetic essay. But take them off the paper, toss them into your CD player and you'll find that they flow with the music, beautifully and seamlessly..It's obvious to tell they put actual thought into what they're singing. To top things off, it genuinely rocks. It's such a brilliant and hard to find mix..one that can actually make you mellow out and rock out at the same exact time. There's something very special about that. I wish the best of luck to the band and hope they continue to get the recognition they deserve. Buy this CD!

Probably one of the best Cd's you could ever buy. You're getting two of TGUK's best cd's all on one disk. It gives you a great varity of sounds, from the mellow "anne arbour" to the more grungy sounds of "off the wagon." But it wouldn't be a Get up Kids Cd without their classic sound, such as"A New Found Interest In Massachusetts" which is probably one of the best songs I have ever heard. Buy this cd no matter who you are. Trust me, you'll like it.

All the bands on [...] pretty much [...] nowadays, so they decided to take the Get Up Kids material they own and put it back out. They released an ugly Four Minute Mile "digimortal" and also did the same with this. The music's great, but be rest assured, the Get Up Kids had nothing to do with the reissuing of these EPs in one really ugly package. If you can find the EPs, buy them seperatly, besides, there's not many of them floating around out there, so they'd be like collector's items, which is cool. Fact is, I bet the Get Up Kids would rather have you download the music or burn the EPs off of your best friend Randy. They don't want you to buy this, because they don't like it. Don't be put off, these EPs are by far the Get Up Kids' best stuff, especially Woodson, which is my favorite GUK song. But my point is, here's to us fools that have no meaning. I tip my glass to you. Yar.
