A sympathetic, insider's view of the Carter White House
Jordan's book gives a good insider's view into White House operations. It is very sympathetic to Carter, and implies that Jordan continues to hold a great deal of admiration for Carter even after years of working for him, which says something very positive about Mr. Carter. This sort of personal, I-was-there-history is very valuable, but of course it needs to be read alertly and with a critical mind. For someone like me, who has not read heavily into the policies and decisions of the Carter Administration, this book should be balanced with the opinions of others outside the Administration.Interesting read, but it leaves lots of questions.

The guy below has written my review already. Perfectly.
If you have been to the Greek islands, see this movie to remember. If you have never visited Greece, see this movie and pack your bags. Freedom and richness of life, gentle olive-scented breezes, long sunrises and slow sunsets prolong twilight, easy flowing clothes of deep rich colors for both sexes -- don't look for polyester or packaged bread.

Not your mother's pill box.
Having mixed pills up, and missed taking others, I decided to order the MedGlider. It is very easy to set the timer, which is handy for timing other things as well. The pill compartments aren't very big, but can still fit two calcium tablets. The timer alone is worth the money. You can set it ahead for four alarms a day, choosing between a voice saying "time to take your pill, time to take your pill" (a little spooky hearing it the first time}, a loud beeping or a light (small) flashing. The system arrived promptly and I would recommend it to anyone taking medications more than twice a day.

Less than perfect
I purchased two Kindles, one for myself and one for my husband.And guess what? The coverage map (when I entered my zip code) indicated that there was wireless coverage where I live. It turns out that there is no coverage IN MY WHOLE STATE!!! Sprint coverage, at best, is extremely spotty except in high population areas.Major bummer.And, to add insult to injury, I can't download the free samples of books to my computer, only directly to the Kindle.Please Amazon/Kindle, fix these problems!

A great PS2 memory card
I was looking around my room and stumbled on my old PS2, I decided to play it again but I must of thrown out my old PS2 memory card cause could not find it anywhere. I saw this one and did not really want to spend that much on a memory card so got this one. It is great, had it for more than a month or two and it works great. Works like any other memory card but a fraction of the price, I enjoy playing my old favorits like Metal Gear and The Thing. I would recommend this to anyone wanting play there old PS2 favorites again.

poor sound
This product lacks an on/off button, a volume control, sound-cancellation, and does not have USB plug-in. It does have a long, flexible goose-neck. Tried talking to a brother in Hong Kong via Skype. He could barely hear me and told me not to buy such a cheap product. If you want to catch up with family/friends overseas using Skype, invest in a better microphone.

A Colleague hits the nail on the head
Never met Tom Fenton but, both of us being in the same business - network news - I certainly knew of his work and therefore when I became aware of Bad News I just had to own it. Sadly, Fenton hit the nail on the head as he accurately described the decline and fall of quality, straightforward, no holds barred reporting on every level. Quoting other well known colleagues, he relates their personal concerns over the drive for ratings, celebrity and sensationalism over "the way it used to be." Not much more to add to this picture nor could I, after a mere 57 years in broadcasting, offer a solution. Not to say there isn't a lot of damn good reporting going on at all the networks, even Fox manages to get it right now and then, but I don't think we'll ever see what we grew up reading and watching. Money talks. Got the book at a wonderful price via Amazon and it arrived in mint condition.

What's wrong with the adapter?
Length:: 0:06 MinsI ordered two 4GB Memory Stick PRO DUO for my old Sony camcorder and Cybershot Sony camera. Sadly, something's really wrong with the adapter because it's tightly stuck inside Handycam DCR-TRV380/TRV480. It's too big? I don't know. It should have been a red flag because the adapter came in a separate plastic wrap and was taped to the package.It'll cost me some effort to find a local electronics repair shop and money to get the adapter removed from the camcorder.Have no idea at this point if the memory stick even works. Still have the unopened, second package with me as a reminder. If it looks like a fake, it probably is.One star is given for the low, low price and speedy delivery.

Thriller not very thrilling
After reading Christopher Rice's first book, I was expecting another good one. Yet, I was very disappointed with this book. It was too much of guessing who did what and why they did it. I was left feeling confused as to the motivations behind some of the characters actions. Not enough of the characters' past was revealed, which did not help explain their psychological problems. At the end, the reader is left feeling as if so much has happened yet nothing was resolved.

Pretty weak
While an interesting introduction to many aspects of modern geometry and physics, this book actually has diddly-doo to do with Flatland. Beyond a few superficial trappings, there is very little about the two-dimensional world, and our two-dimensional protagonist, Victoria Line, is constantly thinking, speaking and acting in ways far more reminescent of a three-dimensional being. Which makes sense, really -- after all, the book is intended to introduce a lot of geometrical ideas to three-dimensional humans, right? Right. So then why bother setting it in Flatland in the first place. (Other than to attract a larger set of potential buyers by pretending to be a sequel, that is. For a true sequel -- one which succeeds not only in introducing the reader to 20th century geometry and physics, but also in enlarging the social world created by Abbott AND in actually depicting a two-dimensional being -- stick with Burger's "Sphereland".)

Explains nothing.
The blurb from Publishers Weekly on the back of the book has it right: this is but a digest of Africa's woes - it describes everything and explains nothing. I was hoping for an explanation of why Africa has gone backwards as they rest of the world has progressed - why Africa's leaders have been so exceptionally venal, cruel and megalomaniacal, why its people have submitted to such misrule for so long. But you won't find it here.As a digest of African post-colonial history the book is a fine one, the writing clear and the organization sensible. It just wasn't the book I was hoping for.

Beware of being mislead
As this cd is placed under the solo-releases of Brian May of Queen you think this is also a release made by him. My collegue is right - it is not Brian of Queen! This Brian May is indeed an Australian composer of filmmusic and died a few years ago I believe of cancer. Should I have know this before I would not have bought both the CD and the 2VIDEO.

forced into a good read
This book is good for any college student (or anyone else) who is interested in the modernist period. I read a large portion of the book for a class, and the examples of Virginia Woolf, Rebecca West, and T. S. Eliot as modernist authors were useful in understanding the different concepts found in the modernist time period. The avant-garde, realism and stream of consciousness were particularly well defined; prior to studying this book I was not familiar with these concepts. This book is difficult in the way it is written--when discussing stories the reader may not be familiar with, a lot of the analysis is hard to follow--but over time a reader can get used to the style. I really appreciated the information I obtained from this book, and I would recommend it to others.

POOR CHOICE OF SONGS
Come on, they could have done so much better than this. I was looking forward to the best songs, not the worst. The last one by Mig was good and that was it. I thought the show was ridiculous anyway because the voters clearly liked Mig and Marty better, yet J.D. the baby won. Thats ok, he can go down the toilet with an outdated band and the others can launch real careers.

If you've never heard of them...
Many of my favorite artists were ones that a friend or coworker turned me on to. 20+ years ago an expatriate friend from South Africa introduced me to this album. I was hooked. Upbeat and inspirational, tempered with the wisdom of hard experience. My buddy told me stories of the brutality inflicted on a white who insisted on hanging with blacks. It IS a Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful World. There are light-hearted love songs ("Dela" played on the George of the Jungle movie)as well as thoughtful pieces of living through political turmoil ("Warsaw(1943)"). I'm not sure which language they mix with the English, but it's so cool to sing along in Bantu or Zulu or... whatever it is (forgive me for being an uncultured dolt!). You can't go wrong with this album!

Feels like you're actually there
I was looking for a book on Neutra and came across this beautiful book instead. The photographs, taken by Grant Mudford, give a vivid sense of space and relationship. He does an excellent job of capturing the light and emotion of the home. It feels much like a Japanese teahouse. Sparse and natural, bringing the outdoors in. Also included, a wonderful selection of archival photographs providing history and a glimpse of Schindlers personal life. Kathryn Smith, who actually lived at the house for five years, understands the spirit of the place. Her text covers Schindler's history, the house's structural engineering, and the philosophy upon which the cooperative dwelling is based. A truly inspiring home. The next time I am in Los Angeles, I will certainly make time to visit the Schindler House.

A little funky
These headphones were a little funky out of the box, they wouldn't turn on at first(after charging)but with a continuous audio out put they came on. I have discovered that they will not come on with out an audio signal. They have a slight hissing sound when there is silence and an occasional pop. For me they serve their purpose, I wear them late at night to play video games so I don't wake up my girl friend. For the price the quality is OK, these are not fantastic headphones in any way but they will provide you with good range and some what decent sound quality.

Did not work for me.
A friend of mine reccomended this book to me and has raved about the zone. I tried the zone and did not experience all of the good things so many other readers have. I was constantly hungry. The food was overly bland and unsatifying. I almost gagged trying to eat some of the recipes because of the strange combinations and textures (...asparagus and egg white omelet). I still use some of the recipes (smoothies, a couple of salads, etc.) but this style did not fit me or my lifestyle. I did the full two weeks (my husband only made it for a couple of days) and still felt hungry constantly, still craved bread and carbohydrates, but I did lose a couple of pounds. It is a difficult regimen and takes all of the flavor out of food. It includes many vinegary, sharp tasting foods that just did not suit my appetite. Maybe it will work for someone else, but it did not work for me for the long term.

Power Steamer
In reviewing the comments on how much you can do with this product I must say I am a little disappointed. I thought I could use it to steam clean my outdoor BBQ grill. It did not do anything to the outside. I even sprayed it first with a cleaner. I also tried to clean the grills. I had to spray Oven Cleaner on the grill first & had to use one of the brushes to get it somewhat clean. I have no intention to remove wallpaper but did use it to clean the ceramic tile flooring in the kitchen. Decent job.Too much money for the job it did.

Possibly Rice's worst
The one redeeming quality this book has is the development of Lestat. The plot left very much to be desired. The book rivals Lasher for my worst of Anne Rice pick. Unfortunately, it is a must read for the rest of the Vampire Chronicles. Fortunately, Tale of the Body Thief makes the time worthwhile.

Nice, but should come with a shoulder strap
I like this case, but it should come with a shoulder strap standard. The roll-top to keep out rain and spray is what we were looking for, but a zipper across the top would also be handy as an alternate closing method other than rolling the top of the bag. We travel on a boat a lot and this is just what we were looking for, a lightweight water resistant bag. Other bags we have tried with neoprene seem to retain water once wet. This coated nylon bag is much better at keeping out the moisture.

Great, I thought it was better than Goodfellas
Marty finally gave us what we want, PESCI!!!!!! This movie is full of Pesci's one-liners, insults, and mob muscle. De Niro and Stone do a great job as well. This movie is superior to Goodfellas(in my mind) because there's more, much more violence and language. I would compare it to Scarface.BE WARNED! This movie is a lot more graphic than it looks on the outside. There's torture, one scence involving baseball bats that makes me always close my eyes. An Pesci kills an inoccent guy with a pen, funny but brutal. And here's the biggie, 362 f-words!!!

Poor Performance; Poor Customer Service
I own a Briel Portofino Espresso machine; it has never worked correctly on a consistent basis. I spoke with a man at the U.S. Briel offices and he told me in very abrupt and abrasive terms that, not withstanding regular cleaning, there was nothing that he could do. Aside for pumping steam, I am convinced that the pump DOES NOT deliver 15 bars pressure. I just purchased a Breville, which is performing very well.

Save your money!
Look, you can spend whatever you want on cables - really. If you think the big name cables give you better sound and picture, then go for it. You'll be proud of yourself every time you think of how much you spent - you really know how to invest in your entertainment experience.If you happen to read any unbiased professional reviews of cables, however, you'll find out that inexpensive cables from reputable sources do the job just as well. Having used these cables for months now, I can say that I feel proud every time I think of how much I saved when buying these cables - enough to pay for a bunch of used DVDs from the local video store.

Really good filter
This filter works very well. I have what you would call "city water", and I would never drink it because it is treated with whatever they put in to sterilize it and it tastes bad. My ice would smell too. With the PUR filter the water tastes almost as good as bottled water and the ice never smells. I ordered this through Subscribe and Save and will be getting a new filter every six months which is one less thing I have to worry about. No more special trips to the store to get it.

product of very bad quality
I bought this filter based on the great reviews here. The first day, everything was great. The installation was super easy, and the water went through the filter fast and tasted great! Then the next day I noticed a rusty spot the size of a quarter on the surface of the carbon block filter. (I am so glad that the case is clear so I can see the inside.) I tried to call the company for three days but each time I get to an answer machine, no exception. I didn't even bother to leave a message. BTW, the packaging of the whole product is so simply and crapy, I seriously think it is not even a licensed product! The one-page installing instruction is clearly a xerox copy! during the next three days, the rusty spot widened to some irregular shape three times bigger, even though I stopped using the filter. I returned it on the 5th day. Amazon's customer service is great, as usual. They took it back and paid for the return freight.

Masterpiece
On each hearing, my already considerable respect for Tony Bennet grows. This album just heightens that. It is a masterpiece.The quality of the transfer from LP is great but that wouldn't matter if the songs or the singing were mediocre. Neither are. Bennett swings through these pieces with his easy style bring joy and sometimes a tear. "All My Tomorrows" in particular needs to be singled out for attention. It is sung with the tenderness needed by the lyric but also contains a bit of forcefulness as if it will not be denied. This is the work of a true artist.

bleh
There are two major problems with this series. The first is a problem of pacing. It is apparently possible for something to feel rushed while at the same time doing nothing to advance the plot. The second problem is content. Millar plays the plots and events in this book for shock over true characterization time and again. All in an attempt to make the characters more "human" than the original versions. Well, connecting to humanity has never been much of a problem for Marvel characters in the first place. It's always been the company's strong suit. And, additionally, the acts and actions that many of these poor imitations of the classic versions take make them seem far less human and real.

Don't waste your money
They look cheep and feel cheep and well.. they are cheep but they don't work which is the bottom line. Fitting them onto the jawbone does not lock into place so the ear piece you just spent over a 100bucks for falls out of your ear! It's not worth it since Jawbone gives you five ear buds that lock onto the Jawbone, which fit your snugly in your ear. They also give you a left ear or a right ear bar that lets you choose which works for you. So this product fails and had I'd seen them in person I wouldn't have spent my money on them.

Entertaining with too much profanity !
My wife and I both read "Motherhood and Hollywood..."and enjoyed it very much.We always watch "Everybody Loves Raymond" and also tape it for later to watch again when there are no more.It seems a lot of Patricia's life is the basis for some of theshows.The only negative is I wish Patricia Heaton had used the same moral sensitivity she did when she walked out of the awards show. Her book had way too much profanity. None at allwould have been better. What's the old saying: People who useprofanity only do so because they don't have an adequatevocabulary to express themselves.Remember when Clark Gable said, "Frankly my dear.....Well look where we are now !OK, I'll get off my protest podium.I just hate profanity.

When I orginally saw the trailer for this movie, I thought, "yet another movie about football." And while I like the sport, I'm a huge football fan, but I can't see movies about it. While returning home from a Bowl Game, they showed this movie on our airplane. You get drawn into the characters. When they start to become close with one another, you feel as if you are right there. It's a great story, that is a good movie for young and old. So all those women out there....this is a sports movie for date night!

Masterpiece.***** MURDER BY CONTRACTI understand now why Martin Scorsese admired so much Irving Lerner. With a simple guitar melody playing while Vince Edwards is dressing up, Irving Lerner emerges as a one of a kind director. The rest of Murder by Contract is in accordance with this mythical beginning. Masterpiece.*** THE SNIPERProgressive Stanley Kramer production. The murders, in my opinion, are very violent considering it's a 1952 movie. Recommended.

would recommend
Bought this stroller a few weeks ago and am very pleased with it. It maneuvers very easily and has a lot of space for daiper bag, etc. underneath. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of five is because it's kind of a pain to fold, you have to push the front canopy all the way down first before it will fold properly. Once it does fold, it folds up pretty nicely and doesn't take up a lot of space considering it is a double stroller. It would also be nice if the front tray folded up to make it easier for the child to get in. Overall though this stroller is definately worth the money and the two complaints really aren't that bad, I really just put them in there for people like myself who are buying this online and can't take an in person look at the item before buying it.

Useless
The image quality is poor -- even in a well-lit room. Images are blueish and grainy.What is more important however, that it gives a detailed view of your eyes OR your forehead OR your mouth -- but not your whole face. To bring the whole face into the shot, one must place the camera about 6 feet from the target (you). That is one must buy an additional desk just to set this camera at a proper distance from you.Tech support is poor: blame everything on USB ports manufacturers.

Quintessential Giselle
Ulanova in the first act of Giselle is beyond description. No other ballerina ever looked and danced the part the way she does here. The second act is somewhat more generic, but the first act is a model of the most perfect performance possible.

O you Foolish Galatians , Thank you Lord for using John Owen for YOUR Glory
As Christians, in this World today we need to Learn and Learn and Learn and then Teach and Remember what we were Taught.I read "The Mortification of Sin", then I bought 9 copies and handed them out to my friends,family,pastors and thats what you do with Good Sound Doctrine.

We don't recommend
We (my twin sister and I,) watched this movie in a thought it would be cute. We couldn't find anything we would call cute. The plot was ok (it is after all a movie!), for a movie, but the action was kind of low. When the boy said that they are so perfect, they said they weren't. But in real life (AND the movie) in a way they are perfect - Money, Social, looks etc.. In this movie the story is unrealistic. (It is after all a movie!), would you go put a sign for your dad on a highway?? Who knows what kind of people answer that sign!! Little kids could enjoy. It is better for them. Enjoy!!!

Not to happy!!
The face on the gauge is made of plastic, and was scratched from the packaging. Pretty cheap design. The rest was pretty nice, I can't believe that they would make the gauge lense out of plastic.

Cheap and it works
I've used a headset (headphones+mic) for a long time, but I recently got some nice Sennheiser headphones that don't include a mic... I figured I'd go for an external one (so I wouldn't have to replace my headset when my mic died) so I picked up the Audio Technica ATR60C.Don't expect anything too great from this mic. Sound quality is barely par, and it picks up a lot of background noise.That said, it's cheap as chips. You can't go wrong with a price this low; I'd definitely recommend it too someone looking for a standard PC mic (who doesn't have a headset).

Absolutely beautiful
Yo-Yo Ma's silk road journey performance is definitely beautiful. It contains various asian elements such as mysterious. It is definitely one of my favorites from my Yo-Yo Ma's collection.

I couln't keep my mind on the road
I got this as my first book on tape. I had always thought it would take away from the book to listen to it read by someone else. But on my drive from upstate NY to Philly to visit my parents, I decided to get a book on tape. I was so into this book that i could hardly pay attention to my driving. The five hour drive was a breeze while listening to this. I was there before I knew it. Also, as a practicing Zen Buddist, I found this to be a wonderful story and it helped me find a few things I was missing. I bought the book now and I'm re-reading it. I think that anyone, Zen buddist or not would enjoy this tale of a person's growth, and feel the sorrow of her untimely death

Don't bother if you're running Panther with large files
Spent $100 elsewhere on this. I've used Norton in the past but had switched to TechTool. I decided to try them again. I was sadly mistaken.First, I ran Disk Doctor. Got error 23005, which the support said to run Volume Recover. Nothing found there. Got the same error from Disk Doctor. Tried Disk DeFrag and it said that the directories were too large for "this version" of SystemWorks to defrag.Useless. I'll be returning it and using TechTool again.

why only white men!?
This book shows nothing but white men doing Dr. Evans' exercises. I will avoid calling this racist, but I will call it myopic. In muscle mags, they usually show men of color because they want every man to know that he can lift his weigh to an Herculean figure. Men like Mr. T, Action Jackson, Oscar de la Hoya, and Sonny Landham show that men of color can bulk up and look sexy in their muscles. If Dr. Evans works out in Southern California where one out of every three persons is Latino, he has no excuse for not having models of color. It makes me wonder if he only intended his book for white men. What a shame! How could an educated person in this millenium be so exclusive and inconsiderate?

This product works great! In just the little time I've used it, I can definitely feel a difference. My skin feels a lot smoother and doesn't feel dry at all. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Dual smoke alarm.
Seems to work as advertised. It is supposed to detect smoldering fires as well as smoke. It has a good, loud alarm.

It works fine and is very compact. It is a little noisy and thermostat could be more sensitive, but still exceeded my expectations for the price.

Great for climbing, SAR
The Petzl William carabiner has a big advantage over other screwlocks - when it's unlocked, you can see the red band over the gate.I'll take any safety advantage I can get, and that's a big one.It's strong, light, and works well for tying off short during a rappel or clipping in an ATC for a belay.Maybe a little expensive, but there's that safety advantage...

The movie should've used someone else instead of Brandy!
I think that Brandy did not do well in this movie. She sounds like she is whispering when she sings anyways. They should've used Monica, oops I forgot she doesn't sound like a mouse!

Vince Megna writes another page-turner!
Vince Megna's new book, "Lap Dancers Don't Take Checks", is FUN!Witty, sardonic, sacrilegious, iconoclastic and filled with humor, "Lap Dancers" should be mandatory reading for lawyers, priests, polititions and other pompous individuals who possess over-inflated egos. But don't stop there; "Lap Dancers" is a great read for anyone who enjoys a light-hearted laugh at our social makeup.Richard SutherlandGrammy Nominated MusicianNew Orleans

Yum!
This is one of my favorite candies. It's very chewy, and it tastes sort of citrusy, but sweet. It has an inner wrapper of rice paper that you can eat, it kind of melts in your mouth. Each pack of this candy comes with a very cute sticker. Worth getting.

Great Planner - but could be much "cuter"
I have used this planner for 4 years and I LOVE it! Helps keep this mom of three on track! But I'm getting bored. I use the Mom's Plan-It Wall Calendar and my friend bought the Mom's Plan-It Organizer. It is so cute - seasonally colored pages, much cuter stickers, fonts and graphics. AND it is about $5 cheaper on Amazon. The page content is VERY similar, but after intense study, I decided that the Family Knapp organizer is a little better for me! So function won out over cute - but Amy Knapp, if your listening, please jazz things up for 2008!!!

Not for children
This product broke immediately after getting it out of the box. It clearly states not intended for children which is ironic since it is Thomas the Train. I did contact the seller who has excellent customer service and is sending me a new one.

good but not good enough
i am a orthomolecular-nutritionist and i treat many add\adhd children and a lot of what is suggested here in this book is true,but as far as the mother\father of the add\adhd children is concern this book gives to the parent only general pieces of information without an organised conclusive treatment program(even that we know that it should be monitored with a nutritionist\doctor).vitamin b3 does not damage the liver only to those who already been damaged by medicines\or other poisions.the book of dr.allan cott:dr.cott's help for your learning disabled chid is the best book, after it is :dr. hoffer's abc natural nutrition for children by:abram hoffer and the book of marcia zimmerman:the add nutrition solution. the book of dr.cott is a divine book

Nice Machine, but no (?) support for Visual Basic CE
It does not appear that this machine, with its new processor, is supported by Visual Basic for CE 6. I might be mistaken (and I hope I am) but it appears that you can not write applications for it in VB. Perhaps embedded VB will work, but the app I am working on with it will not work on this machine. I love HP products and hope that the support will come soon, but a call to support line says VB CE is not supported.

Grill skillet
This is a great item to stir fry of vegetables or shrimp over the grill. I love the detachable handle which makes it easy to take the skillet off and on when using on the grill. The pan cleans up easily.

Terrible Filter Design
I have owned this vacuum for a few years and have grown to like the theory but hate the execution. The lift off aspect is very convenient for tight places, cars, etc. The suction is quite powerful. Those are the good aspects.The bad part is the filter design. Simply put, to keep this vacuum operating properly the dust cup must be constantly emptied. Don't be fooled by the full line on the dust cup. By the time it becomes that full all the filters will be clogged beyond recognition with dirt. To make matters worse, cleaning these filters is time consuming at best. The unit also likes to blow dust out of the back and from other areas, regardless of how full the dust cup is and how dirty or clean the filters are. This unit has a poorly designed filter that only works (and even then not all that well) when the dust cup is empty and all the filters are clean.Don't make the mistake of buying this unit. There are much better vacuums on the market.

Not what it claims to be
No indication that there is white kidney bean extract anywhere on the label or in the bottle. Turning over to the FDA for investigation.

Want to return them!!!
I got a lot of these bottles as gifts and then bought even more so we would have a good supply when we got our son home. The angled neck and concept of the gasless feeding system seemed great, but if you can't get any formula out of the nipple, it is pointless. We had to widen the holes (some weren't even completely opened at all) with a steak knife, and even then, the flow was too slow for our son. The biggest problem comes in because the flow is faster the closer to the nipple hole the baby drinks, but most babies suck towards the back of the nipple where it more resembles the breast. When you squeeze the back of the nipple, NOTHING comes out! I wish we could return these for different bottles - it is our first day home from the hospital, and adding this to our day made it very frustrating. Think twice before buying a bunch of these!

Probably my favorite band,maybe not their best album
This is 3rd Ataris album (plus an Ep and the split with Useless I.D.),and I was really expecting for this because I absolutely love their previous stuff.Some of these tracks aren't completely new ("Bad case of broken heart","Song for a mix tape","How I spent my summer vacation" are included with different versions in "Let it burn"),and a few others aren't exactly their usual style ("Teenage Riot"-rockabilly;"Song 13"-hardcore;"Hello and goodbye"-very slow track) but the final result is very good once more."End is forever" is fast,emotional,and super-catchy and the style variations are always enjoyable.Less emo and a little more pop than "Blue skies...",is a good compromise,but their debut jewel "Anywhere but here" remains my favorite.
