Killjoy (by timstaump)

The album "A Step above No One" is nothing short of entertaining. The entire album has an overall playful, smartass feel that is usually what is expected when listening to a punk album. The lyrics were creative and humorous, and at times profound. They did not disappoint in delivering a traditional "in your face," rebellious punk album, but they also added their own distinct flavor to the genre.

"Let Them Die", was one of the strongest tracks on the album, with an outstanding depiction of conformity, and the desire to be as far from that conformity as possible. The lyrics were memorable, shocking, and hilarious. It is one of those songs one could not easily forget.

"F. Y. R." was another track that stood out on the album. It was unexpected and entertaining. Listening to this song gave the listener the feeling of being mocked by a young obnoxious child. It felt lighthearted and absurd. Every punk album should have a song with these criteria.

Overall, Killjoy creatively and successfully put together a punk rock album filled with the entire attitude one would expect from any punk rocker. Each song brought something different and interesting to the listener, while still maintaining that fast pace punk feel. This album is definitely recommended to anyone looking for a good time.
