When I bought this in '99, I saw the sunflowers and the title, and thought that they were just making fun of mopey, "sensitive" emo bands, and that this'd be just another weasel album. Then I put it on. In light of the the subject material, the album title is sorta like where it says "Beer" on a beer can. Bark Like a Dog is one of the best last songs on an album that rock has ever seen. Feel free to scream along with it. Don't buy this album if you don't wanna feel. Ben Weasel weaves his tale of regret, apathy, persecution, and frustration, then reminds you that there is reason to care. And did I mention that as songs, all the tracks are great, raw, and exciting? buy this.

THIS MAY BE ONE OF THE FINEST ALBUMS EVER RECORDED BY ANYBODY IN THE HISTORY OF PUNK MUSIC. LYRICALLY, THIS ALBUM TELLS THE STORY OF A LIFE THAT WE'VE ALL EXPERIENCED AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER AND BEN WEASEL PERSONALLY SUMS UP THE WAY WE ALL WISH WE COULD EXPRESS THOSE EMOTIONS. THE MUSIC SHOWS THE INFLUENCES AND THE RAW/LIVE FEEL, NOT SEEN IN A WEASEL ALBUM IN MANY YEARS. THESE TWELVE TRACKS ARE FILLED WITH INTENSITY AND WILL HOPEFULLY SOMEDAY BE CONSIDERED PUNK ROCK CLASSICS. A NECESSARY ALBUM FOR YOUR COLLECTION.

If you're a kid who is still enamored with the "faster! faster!" philosophy of pop-punk, then stay away from this. If you're approaching fogeydom (like Ben himself) and want to hear a more mature, yet still aggressive and tuneful approach, then get this immediately. I was prepared for the worst when i got this, but was pleasantly surprised. If "mature pop-punk" (oxymoron?) isn't your thing, then go for Major Label Debut, or the recently re-released first album (or just put on Boogada and jump all over your parents' furniture, you rebel you!)

Wow, what a change. Similar to Lagwagons early move from metal riffs to more melodious punk and quality lyrics...this album is not what Screechin Weasel originally set out to do, and probably alienated a bunch of fans in the process...but damn is it a change for the better. They traded catchy choruses and humour for gut and emotion. Punk rock at it's best.
i would give it a higher rating if i could February 8, 2000

i was disapointed by TCD i thought that it was a rushed album, and it had very little to say. Emo proved that Ben was just saving up for the masterpiece. very rarely does an album come along that lets the listener truly connect with the artist and in this case writer. you can feel what Ben has been through and how his life has changed through realizations (Let Go!) He put all of himself out there for us on this one, and the album as a whole reminds me of the writing in Every Night, from Anthem. for those moaning that it is not fast enough, go back and listen to Boogada again.......i'll listen to Emo.
