Ignoring the sands passing through the hourglass is tough, even if you've never watched "Day of Our Lives". It's apparent that despite gray hairs, wrinkles and senility taking over the mind and settling into stay, music and fashion trends still come and go. Whether it's the NIRVANA alike closer "Blue", reggae of "X", the or the album's more commonplace DOWN BY LAW pop punk, it's clear that DEAD TO ME would have been more at home in the nineties.

DEAD TO ME mix up of "alternative " styles that were edging towards mainstream over a decade ago and as a consequence, the songs not only sound dated but the band's personality shines through as clearly as the invisible man without bandages. If you lived through the nineties, you've likely heard much better versions of this album without the cut-and-paste compilation album effect. If you're over ten, can tie your own shoelaces and are capable of wearing a baseball cap correctly then pass on this pop punk Miley Cyrus equivalent.
