"If you are a fan of sponge's sound, this cd is still good. They stay true and come through with some great songs, maybe some of the best songs of their career. Suicide Away is awesome, sanitarium is great when the drums kick in, unpopular girl has the classic sponge guitar sound, and dandelions roar and love & roses will satisfy fans of older songs such as have you seen mary, velveteen, molly, etc.the album also has some experimental songs that turn out decently, including treat me wrong which sounds like softcore punk with powerchords, and lucifer in las vegas mixes in western country flavor. 28 days is a rocker like wax ecstatic, but for some reason it falls short.punch in the nose is a great song too"

Kiss them goodbye...

"Although the end of the best lineup in this band is over, this record is still completely AMAZING, and has moments that sound like the very best of all their albumns. However, Joey Mazzola has departed, leaving just one original member Vin left. I think it's time for a solo career Vin. As far as I'm concerned JOEY is SPONGE.
This albumn is top to bottom...Great songs. Own it, love it, this is it from this fantastic band."

Soak it up!

""Drugs" is an amazing return to the tasty rock that Sponge spoon fed us back on Rotting Pinata and Wax Ecstatic. It's safe to say that you will not likely find this disc in the bargain bin at your local used cd shack. You won't be trading this phenomenal aural treat "for all the drugs in the world." Every single track is strong. "28 days" threatens to eclipse "wax ecstatic" as Sponge's best steel-toed, [good] rock anthem (talk about being force fed...and you'll like it). "Burn" is a provacative rock ballad complete with lyrics "borrowed" from a Catholic Mass! "Talk to you " is erily Nivanna-ish. "Punch in the nose" got a little update from the ep. The lyric "you make me wanna hurt you" becomes "I could never hurt you". Smart move. (but if you are feeling particularly angst-ridden...pop in the ep-version). Buy this cd and buy one for a friend. Music this damn good is destined to make more than a few record execs kick themselves for dropping Sponge from their labels. Support this amazing album and band! Even Jesus couldn't resist quenching His thirst with this gaul-ladden Sponge offering. Soak it up!"
