Revenge Is Sweet, and So Are You

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The grand old men of Berkeley's pop-punk scene-these are the guys Green Day looked up to, kids-the Mr. T Experience ("MTX Starship" to fans) sounds as vital as ever on its ninth(!) album, another solid collection of 16 ultra-hummable, ultra-moshable, mostly-under-three-minute anthems. "Swiss-Army Girlfriend" is a memorable ode to a pocket knife; "Lawnmower of Love" proves that there are still creative metaphors to be had for doomed relationships; and "Hell of Dumb" introduces a neat country influence via some slide guitar. But the opening "Here She Comes" probably best sums up the Mr. T sound. --Jim Derogatis

5 out of 5 stars So catchy and fun!.......2003-06-25

This is tied for my all-time favorite MTX album - the other being "Love is Dead." Dr. Frank is such a stud, with his cute voice and humorous lyrics. A few songs on the album take on a more serious note, but their quality hardly lessens. I recommend this album to anyone who's a fan of older Lookout! Records releases or is just seeking some new pop punk for their stereo.

4 out of 5 stars Good album.......2001-07-03

This album's pretty good. It's not something I've listen to 100+ times (see NOFX's Ribbed) but I can put it on and enjoy it. I would reccomend it.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT PUNK ROCK.......2000-08-11

This is a great MTX cd. It is not the best though. So if you loved this cd check out Alcatraz or Love is Dead. Two great cds. Whatever you do, you should definetly pick up a MTX cd, no matter what one it is. They are all good. Dr. Frank has a great voice, which gives this trio a great punk rock sound.

5 out of 5 stars Best of the batch.......2006-01-14

This is the best one, even better than their first record, in my estimation, though I haven't listened to all their records. Extremely clever lyrics, as always, but, as always, cleverness equals "not much fame" in the mainstream modern-rock world.

(On second thought, I feel like demoting this review down one star. 4 stars.)

5 out of 5 stars Why not buy this one?.......2000-06-28

No doubt, this is it. The most intense example of emo punk rock I have seen in a while, RiSasrU is awesome. Simply put, awesome. A perfect blend of 5 power chord progression riffs and solo work only Dr.Frank can come up with, this album is A. a must for any MTX Starship fans, B.For fans of Green Day, Blink 182, or even NOFx, and C.A great way to understand the east coast sound and where it comes from. Overall, a great album, one of my favorites, and the best song would have to be...A tie between all of them.

5 out of 5 stars MTX does it again.......1999-11-27

This MTX cd rocks. Every song is good, each with its own different "characteristic." BUY THIS CD. Well worth the money. Dr. Frank's songs that are "about a girl" are the BEST. Easily 5 stars.

5 out of 5 stars Hysterical.......1999-11-03

The lyrics are what makes MTX truly unique, and utterly delectable..

5 out of 5 stars Every Song Worth Listening To.......1999-05-08

Why can't I write lyrics like these? MTX is at their best with more great pop-punk melodies backed by solid, yet never overbearing, guitar, bass, and drums. Dr. Frank, Joel, and Jym are a blast live and I highly reccommend catching a show if they come anywhere near you.

Best song on the album? - The Weather Is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful
