The debut record by the seminal tech-punk act Strung Out is best described as an overlooked classic. While only a few songs find themselves in the band's setlist, all of these songs are signature thrash punk. There's no shortage of quadruple-time drumming, sweet melodies, and killer guitar solos. Mad Mad World and Burn are two of my favorites, though most songs are excellent.

Recommended for fans of Good Riddance, if you're looking for something in the same vein, with a little bit of a poppy edge.

strung out rocks!!! in harms way and population control are the best songs. this band started good and is still good. if you like melodic punk rock, buy this

the best band of all time!!!!!!!seriously,this is one of all the punk rock band who have keep the touch to make good cd after all these year and after the eclosion of the emo band...so this is an old record from strung out but a good one,not better than teenager wasteland blue but a great punk rock cd,with a more punk sound than exile in oblivion.so all of the cd of strung out is great so buy all of these.

strung out successfuly pull off being pop punk but without being pop. there are also some cool hardcore songs on here. this cd has that cool unmistakable strung out sound, and is infectiously catchy. all in all a good cd

um this cd is okay. SO's best album out is TSWB. this cd sucks compared to it. teenage suburban is better than twisted by design, and this cd is the worst one strung out put out, but its still alright.
