    Still here is the quick punk rock you've heard on the Rescue discs, with all the animated guitars and choppy drumming we hope to always hear from Dogwood. My favorite part, though, has always been Josh Kemble's aggravated, yet melodic, vocals, stoutly making us aware of turmoil, hope, and conviction. Some of the coolest lyrics here are, "Racist, think for yourself. What puts you above the ones you hate?" (from "Belligerent Love") The record sounds great and everything's mixed well, but there's just a little beef missing in the guitars and low-end.
