I fell in love with this album the first time I listened to it. What I think is a top notch album, maybe there will be accusations of 'billy talent arent punk' but I dont think that they are too bothered. Im not labelling them punk I just enjoy their music. Fast driving music. pFor me the guitar work of Ian D'Sa fooled me into thinking there were more than one guitarist in the band, he really is a top quality guitarist - just have a listen to the opening riff of River Below! The bass lines are also top notch too, not just a boring drone in the background but a driving force in the fast songs and some innovative fills. The vocal work is very good, the lead singers (ben) voice may annoy a few people but for me it just fits the songs. And the backing vocals are exceptional with Ian and the bassist making great contributions on most songs. My personal favourites of the album being..pThis is how it goes - excellent start to the album, kicks it off with a bangpLine and sinker - this really should of been a single, its just brilliant and so different to many songs I have heard. pRiver below - the guitar work on this song is exceptionalpNothing to lose - really good slower song.pOverall the pace and guitar work drives this album along and I love it!!

Now when i first heard of Billy Talent, i hadn't heard any of there music, no i naturally judged them as your average punk band. Nothing is further from the truth! Billy Talent are an under-rated Punk Screemo band with such potential. The first song on the album will blow you away, and although they released 'Try Honesty', 'The Ex', and 'River Below' you really are touching the surface of this band. If you arent sure whether to buy it, i beg you 2, as i guarantee you will love it! The album has been rated 5 stars because every track is awesome! This really is my favouraite album, and a must have whether punk or screemo is your kick.
Amazing, a must have June 2, 2005

Admittedly, i only came across Billy Talent, by accidently downloading it, but the track, 'Nothing To Lose', just blew my mind. Having bought the album, i must say that it is one of the most complete albums that i have heard in ages. Every track has its merits and the whole album shows off the bands impressive originality and finesse with lyrical creationism. The best track for me is 'Standing In The Rain', which for most isnt, but if you buy this album yourself, you will see why they are tipped to be the enxt bit thing in the punk/rock genre. Fully Deserved 5 stars

When a friend of mine first told me he was going to put the Billy Talent album on, i didn't really get all that excited. 'It's Emo isn't it?' I asked. 'Yea' was the reply. I became even less enthusiastic. Emo has never been what i listened to out of choice. However, as soon as the opening riff for 'this is how it goes' came through those speakers, i was inspired. A guitarist myself, i was hooked from the start. We listened to the whole album from start to finish, and then we listened to it all over again. Later that day, i bought it off this website, and anticipated its arrival.brIf you have heard 'River Below', 'Ex', or 'Try honesty', which have all been released as singles, then you have barely even scraped the surface of Billy Talent. Punk Rock influences come shining through, and you can immediately see the effect that bands such as Sum 41 have had on Billy Talent. Billy Talent here have mixed a Punk Rock sound with an Emo Undertone. The Lyrics and musicality of this band are also very good, and the every track is exciting from start to finish, often with a twist in the middle. This was certainly one of the albums of 2003, and still manages to excite to this day.

Every 5 years or so you get a band that takes music to the next level. Billy Talent is one of them. Live or on cd they have the emotiveness and the sound of At The Drive-in, also combined with by catchy choruses that make it seems your body is possesed by the band them self! This is a must for any punk/emo/hardcore fan!
