| This album is great, I think the greatest they've ever made. I only have one problem with the release its with the added vocals and remixing and mastering for those of you who have the original 1-4-5 Release you know what I mean (if you listen to the tracks back to back and you'll notice) But its great they've added Five more Songs b/c those songs rock. But why haven't they ever put "I Can't Pretend" (B-side off of Back to you 7") on a CD release like the re-release of their self titled album. Well back to the point, you should own this Record already. |

| Awesome reissue of a classic album.Ben Weasel is the only true contender for the Ramones crown! Classic pop/punk that can't help but put a stupid grin on your face. These guy's should be playin' stadiums not Green Day & the rest! Buy it, you'll like it. Nuff said. |

| This is a great CD. If you like the ramones then you'll love the riverdales. My favorite album is still storm the streets but I liked this a lot too. I'm looking forward to there new album |

| This has always been my favorite Riverdales album. I like all three of the new songs on this one, and they make Phase 3 that much better. "Countdown" is a great song to start with and new version of "Mental Retard" is better than the one on "Storm The Streets". The thing I like the most about the album is that the lyrics for "Last Stop Tokyo" are included. So don't be cheap and download, buy it. |

| The new songs are pretty good. I like the new artwork. I'm a big Riverdales freak so it was a must have for me. But buy the first album reissue if you are a newbie to the greatness that is the Riverdales. |

| Wow why is everything Weasel related having to be Re-issued....? It seems like just yesterday Interpunk advertisted this on the old label (145 Records???)....oh well. Asian Man Records is awesome and this is my favorite Riverdales album! I think this was the best performance (vocally) that Dan Schafer has ever done. I wish this was a full time band and not a "when I feel like doing it" thing (due to Ben Weasel). So get this now and all Riverdales CD's. |

| Great review below mine. The sequencing is beyond great. Flows perfectly, and not an easy task mind you, since the songs obviously vary in terms of pace. The new song additions on this release alone i think is worth the pick up again. I like the artwork a hell of a lot more than the one released on 1-4-5 Records. It always bothered me. So nice job once again by Mike at Asian Man, and everyone else affiliated with this classic re-release of an already great album.

| Asian Man Records has reissued yet another out of print pop punk classic. As with the label's previous reissues of the first Riverdales album and The Queers & Screeching Weasel's catalog, they have made this reissue worth purchasing by adding new artwork, remastered sound, new song sequencing, and of course, bonus tracks! While I still consider "Storm The Streets" my favorite Riverdales album, the new songs (particularly "Countdown", "You Know You Do" and a faster version of "Mental Retard") make "Phase 3" a very close runner-up...This edition of their last album is definitely worth picking up. |
