Niki FM rules.

Many other songs here are good as well.
HH provides lots of: slow n fast, hi n lo, light n heavy.

If you're wanting deep vocals and interesting lyrics, mixed with
riffs and rhythmn that run the spectrum, this album is for you.

They remind me of Silverstein quite a bit.

I'm prolly a little old to be listening to this kind of music, but I'm young at heart and strong of soul! >:-)

I say 4*

I left my old copy in the cd player of my totaled Toyota and when I realized it the car was already on it's way to the scrap yard. I love this album, especially this version with the extra songs. Amazing!!!

I love this album but the plastic clips on the inside where the disc "clicks" into was broken! The pieces was inside the album!! Replace please?

While there's a lot to like here, there are some songs that are better just skipped.

Despite what everyone else here seems to believe these guys have just as many good points to offset "less favorable" qualities. One part it seems most people can agree on is that the guitar playing by this band really rocks. I'll admit that the lyrics are unoriginal but they are not bland and they are rather catchy. Those of us that listen to real screamo bands such as ATREYU know that the screamer for HH actually sounds really good. And for all of you who think that you listen to screamo I say this to you: just because the singer starts singing a little louder or pounds it out at the end of a song, that's not screaming, that's just singing louder and it's going to sound totally different so it's not even fair to make a comparison there. Also, if any of you hate "emo" or punk to begin with than you have no right to review this cd because your opinions are biased negative. I do enjoy this style of music but my opinions here are completely objective (not the not-automatic 5 star rating). For those of you stuck in the 80s, this is the new punk, get over it and catch up with the rest of us. I personally don't believe in the word "emo" because all that means is that the music is centered on emotions (usually pain or loss). Pretty much every artist and three of their cousins has written a song like that so I declare that everything is emo. And then there's dear kyle michelson, who is so dedicated to following the "emo/punk" stereotype so "to the letter" that he has in fact betrayed what it means to be those things, he's not unique, he's like every other person like that (and there are a lot of them). Those styles support individuality, not just conformity to a less popular style. And since i'm pretty much as off-topic as i care to get, back to finish my actual review. I saw these guys play at Warped Tour and their show was full of energy and emotion, the band and the crowd really got into it. All in all I enjoy these guys a lot and i will be buying there new cd that comes out Feb. 28, 2006.

Now that's a damn good review/message board post so everyone can stop bashing for a while

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Album

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 15, 2014

Really pleased with the album and delighted with the price. The only disappointment was the fact that I bought several CDs from the same supplier, but they do not offer a facility for combining postage, hence £1.26 per item for 5 albums, which would have been considerably cheaper for me as a single parcel. That said, the CD's ranged from 0.01p to £1.50, so I can't really complain too much!

4.0 out of 5 stars Some great songs on here

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 18, 2015

I bought this album after only buying a few of their songs on the Apple store and only just got round to buying this album. There are some brilliant songs on this album such as Niki FM and Ohio is for Lovers. This is a great album if you are into the rock/emo music from around this period. If you aren't then this album probably isn't for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Love Love It!

Ah this album makes me feel feelings. I remember first hearing when I was around 14/15 and loving it straight away. It's one of their more well known albums (recently celebrated it's 10 year anniversary)

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfetto

Il disco è arrivato in perfetto stato e in brevissimo tempo, sono davvero soddisfatto. Il disco è bellissimo ma ascoltarli dal vivo è ancora meglio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Harter Softrock

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on December 26, 2009

Ich bin auf Hawthorne Heights über Winamp gekommen, weil bei einem Update "Ohio is for Lovers" dabei war.

Die Musik ist sehr gut und ich bin froh mir die CD gekauft habe.
Die Lieder sind sich im großen und ganzen doch ähnlich, auch wenn es durch den englischen Text nicht so auffällt.
Es geht um Frauen, Liebe und Leid dagebracht von einem guten Sänger mit weicher Stimme. Was das ganze zu Hardrock machen soll ist die Zweit-Stimme, die in jedem Lied was hinein brüllt (was nicht immer verständlich ist).

Warum ich dem Album trotz dieser Beschreibung fünf Sterne gebe?
Die Musik ist einfach klasse und und mein Motto ist solange die Musik gut ist können die Lieder ruhig ähnlich klingen, wobei hier ein paar auch heraus stechen.
