    A Good, Poppy Punk Record
    By Cory T. Shaeffer on February 13, 2007
    Format: Audio CD
    Normally I would give this four stars, but I am giving it five because this band deserves better than the limited exposure they get, and secondly because not all the reviewers below have given this CD justice. I bought Useless ID's last CD "No Vacation From the World" and found this newer release "Redemption" to be an improvement. It's a bit poppier, but on the other hand, the song "Pink Stars and Magazines" was one of the best punk songs to be released in 2005. Also noteworthy is the opening track (which starts out almost identical to the Goo Goo Dolls "Slide" then builds up to a pop-punk chorus. Another winner is the track "Suffer For the Fame," which shows the group branching out into new territory without selling out via a big dark gothic opera (Like Good Charlotte and Blink 182 have done.) Also catchy is "Turn Up the Stereo," very similar to the Ataris "Radio #2." There are a few duds, particularly towards the end of the album (ironically the same thing dragged down their previous album a bit as well) and the track "Before I Go" sounds like it was taken right out of the Weezer playbook, but all in all, quite a good time. The album gets a positive vibe going, unlike the dark gothic all-too-serious "new mature sound" that many of these bands have adopted lately. Kudos to Useless I.D. for making another winner and giving the fans the kind of music THEY want to hear. If you're lookin for some catchy pop-punk similar to Allister's "Last Stop Suburbia" or Sugarcult's "Start Static" then look no further.

lyrics

They say you’ re never gonna make it.
you don’t know how, don’t know how
We're from a different generation
They cant see what’ s its all about
If I take you down to a place I left behind,
would it make you understand?

I say, it doesn’t really matter when you’re all grown up, all grown up
As long as you know where your heart is,
don’t be scared. let it out.

If I take you down to a place I left behind,
would it make you understand?

Can you hear the pirate radio? Turn it up, the sound, of revolution
come on, Play it loud and steal the air while you can, because were going back in time.
Can you hear the pirate radio? Turn it up, the sound, of revolution
come on, Play it loud and steal the air while you can, ‘cause were going back in time.

They say you’re living in a dream world.
you better wake up, better wake up
Sometimes I'd rather stay asleep.

If I take you down to a place I left behind, would it make you understand?

Can you hear the pirate radio? Turn it up, the sound, of revolution
come on, Play it loud and steal the air while you can, because were going back in time.
Can you hear the pirate radio? Turn it up, the sound, of revolution
come on, Play it loud and steal the air while you can, ‘cause were going back in time.

I know where I belong,
Miles away from here
I Hope I see you there

Can you hear the pirate radio?
Can you hear the pirate radio?
