What's the best Five Iron Frenzy CD?

Postby Warrior 4 Jesus » Sat Feb 18, 2006 8:28 pm

Some years back I heard some good stuff from Five Iron Frenzy and now years later I heard some of thier stuff again and this time I'm interested in getting a couple of their cds. I was hoping someone could clue me in as to what their best cd is or at the very least what cd has their most recognisable/famous songs?

Thanks!

I recommend Our Newest Album Ever, All the Hype, or Electric Boogaloo. You can't go wrong with any of those.

The End Is Here is also pretty good. Actually... just get all of them.

The End is Here is probably my favorite, but i really love All of the Hype, and Upbeats and Beatdowns, but as everyone has said before, just get all of them :) because, they are infact, the greatest band ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just get every single one, but if you have to pick, I HIGHLY recommend "Electric Boogaloo," "Our Newest Album Ever," or "The End Is Here."

Yes, quite good. The live album was my first FIF album, I picked it up when it was new and then had the other albums that were out by the end of the week.

Reese's scream on the live version of One Girl Army makes that song about 100 times better. I love it so.

Also, let's not forget Receive Him.

the end is here/the end is near are both really good, and have lots of hits on them!

there all pretty much really good, the only one i wasn't a fan of was electric boogaloo. hmm for a first album the live album, proof that the youth are revolting, would be a good start, theres a bit of everthing in there. my fave songs are in no particular order: My evil plan to save the world, handbook for the sellout, giants, heck i could actually list quite a few faves.. lol
