    The best band to win one of those Vh1/MTV contests ever.

    I grew up listening to the classics of rock: Zepplin, Floyd, Who, Stones, etc. This album takes me back there with the abundance of ballads that it brings to my playlist. Gotta love me some Flickerstick.

    I'm so sick of everyone including stuff from Bands on the Run in their reviews. Hullo! They totally exaggerated their characters cause they were on TV. They aren't really like that. Let's focus on the music here. Flickerstick is better live, but that doesn't mean their cd sucks.

They are able to create memorable songs that stick in your head without sounding like a dinky pop act. They know how to rock out and how to be mellow-to be funny and meaningful. They don't sound like just any band out there, they have a sound purely their own-you can tell just by listening to a bridge in a song of theirs who it is. I wish everyone would put them in context-a good band-not some annoying tv characters. Expand

    All those "official" reviews are so off. Remmber, its same people who said Nirvana would never be popular- and we all know they are dubbed "the new beatles". Flickersick does not have a lack of knowledge for creating new material, but it has the opposite! Their sound is so new and DIFFERENT than all the other crap out there.

The only thing that record companies have againts Flickerstick is that they arent on THEIR label. They know that the cliche rap-rock hybrids and teeny bopper stars will end soon. Flickerstick is gonna replace them! Expand

    This album is nothing to original, but Flickerstick has the right idea about how to be a rock band. They are wild and yet make you think. It is hard to find both now a days.

Songs like Lift, Execution by Xmas lights, and Coke are awesome. Expand

    WHTA is one of the top albums to come out in 2001. It's about time more musicians leave the pop world a lone and make their own music. If listeners can't appreciate the lyrics of songs like Coke, Direct Line to the Telepatic, and Execution by Christmas lights, maybe they should just turn on NSYNC and practice making signs for their next boy band incounters.

  1. The band doesn't exactly have a lot of new ideas about what a rock song should sound like.

    Their reliance on slight lyricism and meandering is painfully evident. [9 Nov 2001, p.110]
  3. It's all pretty silly stuff, but if nothing else, it manages to establish Flickerstick as a frontrunner for the Varsity Blues II soundtrack.
