Album Notes & Community Reviews

Catapulting the Madden brothers to massive MTV superstardom, this album became a definitive commercial pillar of the early 2000s pop-punk explosion. The incredibly polished, radio-ready anthems famously tackle themes of suburban angst, familial abandonment, and anti-elitism.
