Comparing them to Green Day, is a waste of time. The Living End is in a class all their own.

many people compare this band to green day. and this makes me want to vomit all over myself. they are a million times more talented than green day and the music is better too. it is also not the same type of music. the only similarity is that the singer sounds a little like that of green day, but he is much better. i Do like green day. but there are few bands who have the talent that the living end has, and none that sound like them.

all i gotta say, is this band is awesome! i've had this CD since about a week after it came out, and i've been a true Living End fan ever since. I play bass guitar a lot, and for the first time, there are songs on a CD that i just can't figure out because they are so difficult (not to mention they kick total a$$). They have been my favorite band since i heard Trace of Doubt, the first track, on this CD. I can't even describe the energy you can get just by listening to it. And don't even listen to the people who say that they are "just a cross between Green Day and The Offspring". They are WAY more than that!


I have this on 2 seperate CDs Hmm.   May 18, 2005

The living end have been amongst the aussie rock scene for ten years now and have yet to dissapoint.This cd (or in my case 2 different Eps)were just the beginning for these guys,It doesnt have the same borderline commercial edge the later stuff does but thats not what matters.What matters are that these guys have Talent and a lot of it,Alot of bands these days get success with 3 chords mediocre songwriting and awful lyrics,This band have far surpassed all that.Here we have 12 (or 6 depending on which Format you picked them up)tracks.The first disc in my view is alot better especially the instrumental track hellbound which shows the band at thier most creative.I was even pleasantly surprised to see a Cure Cover (10:15 saturday night)amongst them.If you are looking for 3 chord pop with songs about ex girlfriends and skateboards avoid this band,They are far beyond that.They are 3 brilliant musicians making great pyscho/punk/rockabilly style music.Hell even elvis fans would probably enjoy it.
