    Spews enough speed, hooks, and sick puns to sate the most ADD-afflicted appetite for distraction. [20 Jun 2003, p.73]

    The slick production will scare off longtime fans quicker than a cross repels a vampire, but for the rest of us, it's an easy introduction to a crew of weird guys who deserve to be heard.

    Another set of sad but very fun songs.

    The mean-spirited sounds of Good Mourning are easy to listen to, but hard to forget. [#17, p.132]

    There's enough mayhem and murder to satisfy any Scarface groupie.

    Not the best album of theirs, but it's great. If you want a great CD, get Maybe I'll Catch Fire

I was 18 when this came out and damn did this album stick with me 20 years later. Got in to Trio in 2000 with MICF and loved them more then any band in History. Each track is a winner on this. Matt's voice is a little different then their other stuff but its still great. best songs to get it a go are WE Had Enough, Donner party and All On Black.. Those alone will get you hooked.… Expand
