The Bouncing Souls play old-school punk rock in the tradition of The Ramones and Social Distortion. It sounds anachronistic in an age when rap-metal hybrids litter the hardcore landscape, but the Souls turn up the heat with hooks a-plenty and above average lyricism. Music fans will get a big kick out of humorous cuts like "It's Not the Heat, It's the Humanity" and "Bullying the Jukebox,"--an anthem about taking over a tavern's tune selection ("I walked into the bar / And put in twenty bucks / I know other people's taste in music sucks"). With whiplash guitars courtesy of guitarist "The Pete,"Hopeless Romantic yields a bumper crop of classic Epitaph loudness. --Jason Josephes

5 out of 5 stars Classic already.......2007-02-28

This CD is still one of my all time faves. It rocks along in the car, while I am cleaning, cooking or just loving life! A must have!

4 out of 5 stars Ole ole ole ole.......2006-05-03

bouncing souls no one can beat us we drink beer and wear adidas!! haha yeah this is a good album, especially when drinking, although thier best is how i spent my summer vacation.

2 out of 5 stars Major disapointment.......2006-01-25

this cd was just a major disappointment the entire way through. it seems like they put no effort in this album. the bouncing souls are one of my favorite bands so i would recommend anchors aweigh, how i spent my summer vacation, and maniacal laughter.

4 out of 5 stars Punk Goes Nostalgic.......2005-11-14

The Bouncing Souls have an innocent charm to them, opting for a combination of fast-paced fun songs and sweetly reminiscent ones instead of taking the angst-ridden approach of so many other modern punk bands. Songs such as '87, Night On Earth and Kid display the sensitive side of these guys who have the ability to expertly relate to their fans through their lyrics, and Kid especially taps into the punk mindset perfectly. Other songs such as Wish me Well, It's Not The Heat, It's The Humanity, Monday Morning Ant Brigade are as uplifting and fun lyrically as they are musically and Greg's vocals bring out that certain quality by which you can tell he's singing through a permanent smile. Personally I can't stand Ole, and god only knows how You're So Rad made the final cut - if I was Master of the Universe whoever made the decision to include it would be forced to swallow a sack full of nunchucks. As i'm not Master of the Universe (yet) I took a star off the rating instead. Nevertheless, putting aside that little mishap, the album is a classic from those sweet soccer-loving punks who you'd bet wouldn't hurt a fly.

5 out of 5 stars Third time is the charm....and still just as fun as it was in 99.......2005-08-23

Bloody hell they say third time is the charm....This being the third time I've bought this cd!! The two other copies seemed to have walked away on there own!! This is perhaps the best album by the bouncing souls minus a few quirks. Whats a bouncing souls album without one or two s#$$y songs. Seriously, I understand the goofyness behind this band and just their straight up just want to have fun East Coast style... But, what the f#$k is up with "You're so Rad?!?" I'm also not a fan of the title track, but, it's ok... Songs like kid will have you humming along and singing plus, it has a nice if a tad long bass solo. Another great song is the rather goofy but, fun break up make up break up song "Wish Me Well (You Can Go To Hell)" It's got guest vocals by Kara Wethington. Bullying the Jukebox is a great sing along song about drinking and taking over the jukebox cause your taste in music just sucks. Well, if you want some catchy bass lines and just some fun punk thats not crap and theres only a few that can pull that off this being one of those albums.

    5 out of 5 stars Smoothjazz.com Review.......2005-10-16

    It's the right time for singer/songwriter Michael B. Sutton to release his first solo project, and it's the right project, too...a sensual...sometimes naughty...journey into romance and erotica. The first radio single, "Body Music," sets the right mood, with all the qualities a hit should have...great hook, compelling performance, smooth groove. All of the other original tunes on HOPELESSLY ROMANTIC are equally hit-quality, and well they should be. Mr. Sutton spent seven years as a writer/producer for Motown Records, composing hits for the likes of Smokey Robinson, Michael Jackson, and Thelma Houston, among others. He was also half of the R&B duo "The Suttons," aka "Mike & Brenda" in the 80's. Michael's voice is soft and persuasive, and reminds me in many ways of Smokey himself. He gently caresses the lyrics, conveying the romance and passion of his words. Besides the new single, I'm especially drawn to the ultra-sensual "Do That To Me," "Sweet Surrender," "Nobody," and the Latin-flavored duet with Tata Vega, "Lovers Serenade." The beauty and positive vibe of HOPELESS ROMANTIC are especially gratifying in light of Michael's struggles over the past several years. Diagnosed with "limited agoraphobia" in the 80's, he's courageously fought back from emotionally crippling anxiety attacks with the help of his therapist, family, and friends. HOPELESS ROMANTIC is truly a celebration not only of love, but of personal recovery and victory. I salute Michael B. Sutton's personal successes, and highly recommend this excellent CD for your collection! ~SCOTT O'BRIEN

            A Hopeless Romantic is a collection of 13 of Tony Dancy's most personal and intimate songs of love lost and love found. These tunes are elegantly crafted adult contemporary pop, seasoned with hints of country, jazz and R&B, with an authenticity which could only come from someone well versed in the permutations of love.All of the music tracks on this CD were sequenced by Tony on a Roland MC-50 music sequencer. Tony played all of the instrumental parts on a Korg M-1 keyboard and he played all lead and lead guitar parts. He did all of the vocals on the CD, with the assistance of a colleague on ensemble vocals.
