For long time fans this is a dream come true. I know some purists are mad that they are on Decaydance, and some are mad that they came back at all. It's all just jealousy and punk rock politics. I've been a fan since I saw them live in 1995 because I went to see another band play. I've long stopped listening to the band I went to see, but I've been a Lifetime fan ever since.

This new release is everything I was hoping it would be. The guys haven't lost a beat. It's fast, powerful, energetic, and very catchy. While I've heard some complain about this, I think that the better production and recording on LIFETIME just serves to increase the clearity and boost the richness of the overall sound. It was recorded by the same engineer, Steve Evetts, that produced Lifetimes two previous fan favorite albums HELLO BASTARDS, & JERSEY'S BEST DANCERS.

Simply put, if you liked their old stuff, you will like this just as much. Maybe even more, because the sound quality is so much better, and these songs are atleast as good, if not better than anything they've written before. (okay, it's not "better" but still just as good as many of your old favorites).
