"I just got to listen to this album for the first time and I can't explain how much love to hear something new that comes from Deron and Jess. True, I am bias because I think that CKY is best band out there today worth listening to, (unless you like listening to the force fed emo/metalcore crap). Deron's riffs make me think of horror/space-sci-fi and its like nothing you'll ever hear. Do your self a favor and throw away your crappy CDs and buy CKY vol. 1, CKY IDR, CKY An Answer Can Be Found and Foreign Objects. Listen and learn."

"First off if your any fan of foreign objects you need to buy this now.This album is amazing. Deron,Jess,and James really outdid themselves on this. It's also really cool to hear the FO classics from The Undiscovered Numbers and Colors remastered with better sound quality. Buy this now if you like rock n' roll music."

"Ok, all CKY fans will know that this album has been long awaited and finally (drum roll please) here it is. First off...FO sounds nothing like CKY, the vocals are death-y and the riffs are much more complex in my opinion. But for me this is fantastic - everytime you listen you hear something new.
Listening to this the first time was amazing, it was EVERYTHING I expected and more.
Hearing previous instrumentals with the added death metal style vocals, which Deron Miller does amazingly well was mind blowing. Disengage the Simlulator (a CKY classic) takes a while to click in, as the vocals are so different but after a few spins it sounds perfect. Add in James Murphy (Death) and it just gets better and amazing timing from Jess Margera. Everything about these CD's is great - and the enhancement (while not of amazing quality) is good to see. The package is great too, and looks very well designed.
I could go on and on about this release for possibly weeks but I could never do it justice in words. You must buy it!"
Very Good

"I've been a fan of Foreign Objects for a couple years now, so most of you can understand why I like The Undiscovered Numbers & Colors E.P. better than Universal Culture Shock, but I still love Universal Culture Shock, most notable songs are Test It Out (Testing For Life On Mars) and Chemical Control (Sci-Fi Mirage), alot of the UCS songs were leaked over the internet or by way of cKy: Volume 2, but just in instrumental form, and thats why I was so glad to see that Deron was going through and doing Vocals for the instrumentals, and second of all have James Murphy (Testament, Obituary) solo, so this album could finally be finished after like 8 years (around that). But anyway this is an excellent combo, UCS and TUNAC, buy it!!!
P.S. If your a fan of anything Deron, and are into kind of more Thrashy Metal/Rock check out Third Hand Fact by This End Up, which was one of his bands when he was younger. Deron does Vocals and Guitar."
Very good

"This dual disc collection is great for any fan of CKY. The music is darker and heavier. If you ave heard the song called Disengage the Simulator by CKY and if you heard the Instumental on CKY VOLUME 2 called Disengage then you have to hear this version. the lyrics is a little different and it is well u just have to ear it. Dont listen to the samples on amazon b/c some of the songs are out of place.
The instrumentals are very good. ans the sog Thy Come in Peace is also very good.
The ep is o.k. but it comes w/ a ive show you have to use for the computer.
If you havent noticed, every cd cky or the members put out (im not sure about rudy and blitz b/c i dont have t yet) there are music videos or something on the cd that you can put in the computer. this is all of cky's except volume 2.
