"this is a cd you can listen to for weeks on end and not get sick of it in the slightest. remarkably composed and performed with heart, world/inferno just do something to music that nobody else has done. every one of the nine members are exceptionally talented musicians, which might explain how they can pull off blending genres that never would have seemed to go together (punk, swing, klezmer, to name a few). it's also really fun music, but not frivolous or brainless.
to be brief, it's nothing short of remarkable."

"the title of the album explains it all. world/inferno accomplishes what most bands only can attempt: dance-able, fun music with awesome lyrics and they put on a great show. this cd is indispensable, and once you play it once, you're hooked. this cd is just the best party and more. the last track, all the world is a stage dive, has the best lyrics to plaster all over your life."

"If you haven't ever caught this band live seeing all the players (from accordion to keyboard to a sax section to two drummers and two guitarists -- not to mention the lead singer who's a show unto himself...) on stage, this album is the next best thing. Listening to high-energy, punk-cabaret songs like "Secret Service Freedom Fighting USA" and "My Ancestral Homeland, New Jersey", you can't help but get caught up."

"World/Inferno Friendship Society... what can I say except WOW. I love this band. Nothing is better than seeing them live (they really know how to get a crowd going), but this cd was a pleasant surprise. I actually enjoyed it a lot more than "East coast super sound punk of today." There are a lot of good dancy tracks like "Zen and the Art of..." and "My ancestral homeland, new jersey," but I would have to say my favorite track is "Friend to the Friendless." I would reccommend this cd to anyone who loves to dance and have a great time."
