            WOW! Bieler Bros. Records did it again. They found a knock you ass out band, that will knock your socks and the rest of your cloths off. This is such a killer album that’s its mind blowing. Their sound is so great is really hard to explain. I put it in my CD player and it didn’t move for a very long time. The first track “Too High,” sets the table of the rest of the album. It’s a hard hitting song that features a perfect drum beat with the addition of great guitars and vocals. It really has the total package. Next comes the title track. “So Long” sounds like it will be a monster hit on the air waves. Just take a seat and listen to the lyrics…you will love them. “Sinner” is an ass kicking ready to happen. It’s an upbeat song that is polished up and raring to go. “Tattoo” is a soulful rock tune that features awesome guitar play and wonderful vocals. StereoSide shows a bit of a soft side with “Wasted” then strikes right back with “Ain’t So Bad.” I personally love explosions and “My Life” is an explosion of music and vocals that sticks with anybody that listens to it. “It’s not my Day” is an outburst that can not be ignored. The lyrics are weird, but everything else is wonderful. Overall this is a sweet album. It was hard for me to take it out of my CD player and listen to anything else at the present moment. If it wasn’t for The Exies new album, this would be my vote for Album of the Year of 2007. It’s just a kick ass album that will get the band many gigs with mainstream bands, maybe like Nickelback.
