It really isn't good, dispite the 4-star Amazon rating.......2004-01-13

I have every Slick Shoes album except for the self titled EP. Thank god I started with Rusty and Burn Out and not this or I wouldn't have bought another SS album. All songs suffer from the same thing: they aren't consistent. A song may start out fine but then descends into what seems to be random drumming, monotenous singing and drab lyrics (never a strong point of SS)

I did listen to it for quite a while and on different occasions, 'cuz maybe I just wasn't ready for this "new" direction SS was going, but to this day I still very much dislike the album. The follow up Self-titled album was a step in the right direction, but still not that great. Thankfully they've redeemed themselves with Far from Nowhere, which sounds more like Rusty and Burn Out.

Only recommended to hardcore SS fans and if this is your first SS album, no NOT start with Wake Up Screaming

Excellent music!!!!.......2003-11-16

This cd is one of my favorites based on the lyrics alone. Ryan's voice on this cd is awesome.It is true some songs are a bit repetitive but that isn't a bad thing in this case.Angel is by far the best track on this album, probably one of their best songs ever.This isn't Slickshoes' best cd but it's very good and if you like punk or just good music, get this one especially if you are a Slick Shoes fan.

I would just like to say..........2003-03-20

I would just like to say that punk rock is not only political rock, as one such person (who shall go unnamed for the moment) said. Punk rock has several sub-genres just like any other type of music. Slick Shoes, a three-piece Christian punk band, would probably fall more under the pop punk category...but PUNK nonetheless! This is a great band. Their song Angel is one of my personal favorites. The lyrics are so poetic, but they manage to keep a beat that makes you just want to jam out while driving or sitting at your computer or wherever you are.

3.5 stars.......2003-03-20

This is ONE OF their worst CDs, but it is still worth a listen and is much better than most mainstream punk bands. Best Tracks are 1,2,3,4,5,7, and 11. This isn't their greatest, so I'll show the order of greatness
1.) Slick Shoes (Self-Titled)
2.) Rusty
3.) Burn Out
4.) WAKE UP SCREAMING
5.) Self Titled Ep
So I hope I have helped you in your choice, but also check out some sample songs and choose for yourself. If you already own this, then check out Rusty, and their Self Titled as well.

EMN is a classic.......2006-02-04

I have a massive hair metal collection and I own everything EMN has put out. I LOVE these guys. Wake up Screaming is among their very best. It's a shame it wasn't a huge commercial success because had this been their first album, you'd still be hearing them today on classic rock radio. This album has it all. Great and angry vocals, soaring guitar, beautiful power ballads, and just plain cool looking dudes. No real big hair or lip stick. Just meat and potatoes hard rock. Nashville not only put out good country music. Check out the rest of the band's work too. The GURU would NEVER steer you wrong.

Overslept.......2003-07-22

Admit it, deep down inside of everyone of you who grew up in the 80's/early 90's there lies an old school hairbander who just can't help but pump your fists when you here a band like Poison, Def Leppard or Whitesnake. These guys delivered when it came to teen angst and rebellion at a time when excess was a necessity. Unfortunately, grunge came along and wiped out most of these bands, with the exceptions of Bon Jovi, who went pop on us, and Aerosmith, who admit to selling out to anyone who's paying.
In the early 90's, a few hair bands fought to stay alive and others, sadly, got record deals all too late. For instance, take Every Mother's Nightmare. They're a decent hairband with decent songs that came out at the worst time. Had they only signed a deal in '87, we'd be talking about these guys with the likes of White Lion and Cinderella. They would never had hit as big as a Bon Jovi or Skid Row, but they would have gained a solid following that guaranteed their place on VH-1's list of top hair metal bands.
"Wake Up Screaming" is the only disc I purchased by these guys. From the looks of it, however, they had a few other albums out, but I heard nothing of them. In fact, the only reason I got "Wake Up Screaming" was because I was in one of those record clubs and I had a commitment to fulfill. The club sold me on the "soaring sounds" of EMN, so I bought the disc. I am not ashamed to say I own this album and there are actually some good songs on here. "House of Pain" is a slick sounding ditty that opens up the tracks and readies you for more sonic serendipity with songs like "Already Gone" and "Slip and Fall." The stand out track on this album is "Good Die Young." Had it been released in '89, we'd be screaming along with it on the "classic" rock stations after it comes on after "Bang Your Head(Metal Health)."
In closing I can only say this: Play your old Poison and Warrant albums and then slap this disc on. Pretend it's 1990 and Seattle is just a cold, rainy town with no real influence on the music world. You'll rock with the assurance that EMN will be carrying the hairy rock torch well into the next century.

Album Description

Third album for Hellcat, produced by Steve Albini. 2003.

Customer Reviews:

Well...it's F-Minus........2004-10-22

It must be a characteristic of Steve Albini to slow-down the music on every recording he produces (see Leftover Crack's new album). Regardless of the change in speed, F-Minus are just as aggressive as ever on "Wake Up Screaming." The riffs are heavy, the raw attack on the drums adds to the heaviness, the vocals are pure "punk-rock." The finished product has a violence and murkiness to it befitting a nightmare.
The flaw: 15 songs which are more lengthy than past tracks, in a bad way. The tempo is slower, so as verse/chorus is repeated the music loses it's power. What makes F-Minus so great is their ability to blast out fully structured songs in less than a minute.
Positives: The lyrics are good, as always. And throughout the album there seems to be a recurrence of random haunting feedback, which I think totally adds to their garage-punk sound. And a few special moments of in-studio mistakes carelessly unedited, like the ending to "Controversy."
Overall, a 4-star album.

Hardcore at its best!.......2003-12-29

This recent album from F Minus kicks a$$ people!! It's raw, fast, a great way to blow out your ear drums. Each song rules, and they mix in different singers, it all comes out great. If you love hardcore punk, buy this album for sure!

Whao!.......2003-08-18

F-Minus Is Awesome but all of their songs sound the same but thats alright!

Brutal........2003-07-08

That's the only word I can think of to describe this release. F-Minus and Steve Albini took the raw promise of the band's first two albums and created an album which has a place in my top five for 2003. Just try to listen to "Wake Up Screaming" and not want to either run around the room or break something. I swear to god it's impossible.

When you get the money, pick this up!
