One Man Army... This is a very talented group. They have talent but they sing and play without pretension. These are the guys that you want on your side when it comes time to tell a story. This is my favorite One Man Army album, but all of their records are worth picking-up. It's driven and to-the-point rock 'n' roll, just the way mama would have wanted.

I got this for a friend to share the love, but when it originally came out I was literally glued to my mail box waiting every day for it finally arrive. Needless to say it was worth the wait. This album comes off more mellower(due to a girl so I heard) than "Dead End Stories." They bust out the acoustics on various songs, but it doesn't stop them for making a well crafted Punk Rock album. The song writing has largely developed & in general their(or Jack's) creativity is certainly at an all time high. This is coming from someone who has the first 7" & they have certainly come a long way from that. "Another Night" is the single they made a video for & it's certainly the stand out track in my opinion. Along with that, other tracks to look out for are "Last Word Spoken," "No Controlling," & "The Tune of the Leisure Pace." Each song is perfect in it's own way. If you haven't heard OMA, but are interested in getting into them I suggest starting off with this, but if you'd like their rawer material go for "Dead End Stories." You can't go wrong either way.
