"I can't not begin to tell you how good this is. There is so much energy so much range in this cd that it will drive you mad, this is hands down the best ska record ever. It's great even the lyrics are pretty good (one of the biggest complaints I have about ska even though I do love it) it is about growing up hangin' out you know the drill. 17 great songs who could ask for more? The vocals are great I like Nic's voice a lot it has good range he goes from normal singing to screaming (not like SCREAMING actually more like yelling) and the music is steady you know it doesn't go fast/slow/fast/slow it usually stays steady you know like mid/fast/fast/mid/slow/fast something like that if you get my drift. Favorite songs, dance floor, Pretty Girls (my very favorite), Dimestore Hoods, Verbal Klint, Jeff Acre F!ed his Truck up. I love this album buy it and sing along."

"Link 80 is incredible. They combine intense punk rock with horns and ska melodies, and also a very thrash and an almost heavy metal sound. Definitely one of the best skacore bands ever, these guys are an amazing example of their genre. If you are interested in hearing skacore or if you are a fan of any form of punk rock this cd will not dissapoint. This is the kind of CD that can be appreciated by all kinds of people from a variety of musical preferences. Catchy yet unforgivingly fast and brutal. Op Ivy fans check these guys out!

"This rocks. Its like opivy with horns, and a little more hardcore. If you like opivy, rancid, voodoo glowskulls, big d and the kids table or streetlight manifesto, get this. It will blow you away."
Great skacore!

"I'm not a very big skacore fan, but I absolutely love Link 80. This CD stands out from my collection of mostly ska/poppunk. This whole CD is great, The vocals are amazing, Nick had such a great voice, he can go from like hardcorish shouting to sorta soft singing. "Nowhere Fast" is probably my favorite song on this CD, but the whole thing is great, buy it! Also get "Killing Katie", It's a bit less hardcore, more ska, but anything Link 80 is amazing. RIP Nick."
Just plain Incredible

"Link 80 has to be one of the greatest ska-core or ska-punk bands the world has ever seen, and this album sure proves it. 17 songs filled with energy, gritty vocals, fast paced drumming, furious guitar riffs and great horn lines. If you have never heard this band and have been wanting to check them out, I highly reccomend this. If youre a ska-punk fan or are willing to try out some harder edged ska, pick this up. If you are a fan of punk and ska in general, I say that this belongs in your CD collection. My favorites include Verbal Kint, Nothing Left, Preety Girls, What Can I do, Dimestore Hoods, Nowhere Fast, and Jenifers Cafe, but hell, all these songs are great. GET IT!"
