fuck me . 14 years later and this shit is still ahead of its time . I remember i ran to the record store on my break from working at a morgage firm and bought this and called out sick the rest of the day as i couldn't turn this off. Just insane .

Still so fucking good...

Most punk rock is like vodka; clean, straightforward, you know what you're getting when you crack the bottle. This album though, like an aged fine scotch. Complex, layered, dense, you know you're not getting everything it has to offer on the first go. I used it as a sort of social litmus test as a teenager, if you couldn't understand what made this album brilliant we probably couldn't hang out for any length of time.

I fully agree there is no other band that I can listen to almost every album from back to front. Especially the old stuff is just as relevant today as the first day Or heard it as an angst filled mohawk sporting 14 year old. I still listen with same amazement and adoration 25 years later as a 35year old adult. Timeless music from the quintessential punk rock band way ahead of there time

I feel like they were so criminally underrated... They didnt get their due, not even in the punk scene, so many punks don't even understand the importance of strung out, and it's ironic in the 90s as a teenage skatepunk I was really into strung outs contemparies nofx, lagwagon, the vandals, afi.. But i never got around to listening to strung out and I regret it

This is a masterpiece.

Still holds true

Stumbled across this album years ago on accident. Beautiful accident to say the least.

I saw these guys play in a tiny little bar in Cincinatti [called topcats i think] back in the mid 2000s and it was one of the best shows i ever saw. They played a lot of this live and as one can imagine it was mind blowing. This is the peak

Moshing and crying at the same time!

20 years later still living this album. My cousin gave me this album so long ago seems like just yesterday

this cd is so ahead of its time

I love this record but its not "by far" the best since EVERY Strung Out record is amazing! I actually like their newer stuff better than their older and my favorite one is definitely From Exile (though its pretty damn old nowadays). My list: 1 - EiO, 2 - AotU, 3 - BoLA, 4 - TAD, 5 - AAP, 6 - C&I, 7 - TBD, 8 - STW, and 9 - ADiP

I am not sure how anyone can say any Strung Out album is overrated. IMO, this is an amazing band that never received the commercial success they deserved.

My favorite album from these guys!

This album is just out of this world!

This is just ridiculously good...

25 mins of perfection

one of the best records ever

Masterpiece.

Twisted by Design, Element of Sonic Defiance and American Paradox, I felt was the bands prime. There music beforehand and afterwards wasnt bad but I felt this stretch was when they were the most ambitious and consistent as musicians. The first two albums mentioned were the ones that sold me on Strung Out, I realize not everyones taste is conducive to mine, but I felt they played with a lot of heart and technical prowess on those albums, their guitar solos on this album are fucking....SOLID!!!

In my opinion the best album ever Scarecrow is the best song they've made, along with mephisto, my second favorite of theirs

I was picking up some weed in Simi and I started talking to one of the other guys in the living room and it turned out that he was good friends with my little brother Sam. As we continued he was mentioning his upcoming tour. And I finally figured out he was the guitarist for Strung Out. I'm also good friends with Darb Gnarl, their first drummer. It was cool because I'm a big fan. NOFX. Is also choice. 🤘

Amazing as usual, great EP with songs that become a classic.

Damn.. remember when the high school 🍻

This is an amazing album! Thanks for the upload.

MEPHISTO bumps on car speakers -- the explosion at the beginning

Such a solid song to end with.❤

awesome album, one of the best of Strung Out!!

Everyday ..razorblade ..Jake o was the first songs i listen from them AND Now i love the Energy of strung out!!!

always a great album...

masterpiece....

It's interesting, the intro of Everyday is so true these days, as a society we really are all robots walking around looking at our phones instead of eachother, having no empathy for one another. Song hits close to home

Total perfection.

Crazy the intro is from an episode of “I love Lucy”

Ya... it's a "same old story.." ..EveryFuckingDay

I used to play ATV offroad fury 2 just to hear Scarecrow

Savant, Razorblade and Mephisto are in my top 5 Strung out favorite songs, fantastic drumming. Strung out is not the same without Jordan Burns, he's the best drummer in Punk rock imo.

Scarecrow from Atv Offroad Fury brought me here. These guys are amazing!

oh yea!

This was their Magnum Opus.

I don't know why but the character designed for the album cover and inside art gives me the creeps

HENNY!!!

Sick

I'm convinced these guys are prophets.

PEDRADA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

razorblade my fav

Best album for sure new album and exile from oblivion are masterpieces in own right what band can u listen to every song from waste land to Alpha and enjoy every song except for black hawk down over losangleless I don't know why but it just slow and sloppy strung out best punk band ever ya that's saying alot but 38 heard lot of punk bands none are as talented as strugout
