As with all of these generic rock bands, Stereosound does not ignore their obligation to make a ballad to last for the ages - at least that's what they hope will happen. "Little Pill" is one of the songs mentioned that starts with a soft acoustic guitar line and "Jelvis" singing a confession about how he will not do drugs in order to get through the tough time.
He uses one of the most cliché lines possible saying, "I don't need a monkey on my back." The song "On Our Way" is one the most ignorant songs ever created in the history of rock 'n' roll.
The album was tolerable up until this track.
There is one line in this song that should rule this band out of your music library completely: "So if you care about rock/ just sit right there/ we'll take your ass back to the early years/ where the jams were tight/ the kids could play/ the music didn't suck and the bands weren't gay."
There is absolutely no reason to use the word "gay" in a derogatory manner in this song.
If they think rock is dead, then they are the ones who are killing it.

I completely disagree with what this article said. Stereoside absolutely blew me away. This album is the best thing I've heard in a long time. Anyone with ears and a brain can tell that they rock. (Continued…)

I think the guy reviewing this must be "gay", since he seems upset about Stereoside using the word in a song. What a horrible review. You obviously know nothing about rock n roll. (Continued…)

This album rocks! This is the great southern rock we've all been waiting for. Judge for yourselves people, you will be impressed. This is the last time I read one of your reviews, maybe you should sell cars instead! As for me, I will be rockin' with my devil horns in the air!!!!

Wow! Who is this guy anyway, he is obviously a very miserable person, and considering he cant even get the bands name right in his review, he cant be that credible. (Continued…)
