This live album has more than one CD in it, in fact it has two live CD’s , one from All and one from the Descendents. So, All or the Descendents? This is the problem. Actually it is not a real big problem, as the two bands sound the same, as they have three out for members that are exactly the same people, but I always thought Milo Aukerman’s voice was way better that the Chad Price’s one, although musically it is always well played pop punk at its best, and it is not a case that Stephen Egerton and Bill Stevenson produce and record tons of good albums in their Blasting Room studio in Colorado.

The live album from All features 22 live songs, it is not a real concert, even if it was recorded on Macrh 30 and 31, 2001 live in Colorado: they recorded some songs and slapped them together on one disc, as there are just a few moments in which you hear the band’s members talking during the songs. Anyway, it features songs from more or less any All album: some tunes, like “Fairweather Friend”, “She Broke My Dick”, “Teresa”, World’s On Heroin” from the Epitaph newest albums “Mass Nerder” and “Problematic”, some others as well from their older stuff, like “Skin Deep”, “Educated Idiot”, “Bubblegum”, “Hate To Love”, “Birds”, “Honey Peeps” and a bunch of other catchy powerful tunes too.

Talking of the Descendents album, it has 21 kicking ass songs and probably the best stuff the Descendents ever played, and Milo is just great live ( as on the song “All-O-Gistics”). It was recorded in 1996 from October 10 to 14, in Los Angeles, and it has some great tunes as the newest “Everything Sux”, “I’m The One”, “This Place”, “Coffe Mug”, “We”, “Thank You”, as well as older songs as “Original Me” ( which is an All cover ), “I Like Food”, “Weinerschnitzel”, “My Dad Sucks”, as well as songs from masterpiece albums as “Silly Girl” from “I Don’t Want to Grow Up”, “Myage”, “M-16″ from “Milo Goes To College”. The album really made me understand how the Descendents ( and All as well ) is a great live band that does not need any re-mixing or that studio stuff for a live album: they played, recorded it all, and put the best songs on the CD. Great!

Both albums come out together in the same package ( and you pay them as one signle full length album!), I think to give to the fans some “new” stuff to listen to, and althou0gh I believe any Descendents/All fan will definitely buy this, I can only say to every lover of punk rock and pop punk to pick this up, especially if you do not have any albums of these bands ( and if you do not have any albums of these band it is not good), because the Descendents is not a pop punk band, they are the pop punk.
