The packaging (courtesy of The Kingdom Of Sad Machines) of this EP looks fantastic and the production – while a little too polished for my liking – does the band's songs justice. I'm keen to see what these guys can come up with next time.

My only gripe with “Tales Don’t Tell Themselves” is that too many of the songs seem to follow the same the path, and while each track is able to successfully stand on its own, the songs can blend into one another. 

Fall Out Boy’s ability to appeal to pop fans and hardcore kids alike has ensured they will be the biggest band of 2007. If you don’t believe me, ask your little sister… I’m sure she’ll agree.

This CD won’t change anyone’s opinion on Frenzal Rhomb. If you hate them, you’re still going to hate them (and chances are one of the songs on here is talking about you). If you love them, you’re going to get hours of listening pleasure out of this record.

I’ll leave you with the wise words of Frenzal front man Jay:  “Johnny Ramone was in a fucken good band but he was a cunt”.
