This is the great debut album from the Boston boys. This is great rock n roll music and great set-up. Although there are definitely some weak songs, there are also some very strong ones. I don't think that this album is quite what American Hi-Fi describe it as themselves, but it is definitely a good buy. It kind of sounds like the Foo Fighters would have done if Dave Grohl hadn't been in Nirvana. It's lacking something, but I'm sure this could be easily cured by experience. Surround- this was a great choice to open up the album. Starts off with feedback and a mellow arpeggio riff, then leads into a cool post-grunge guitar riff. Then sneaks into ...  Read the complete review

American Hi-Fi is an American alternative rock based in Los Angeles, California, orignally hailing from Boston, Massachusetts. The Band is best known for their 2001 hit single, "Flavor of the Weak". -Yes, i took that from Wikipedia, but atleast i'm honest :) No, really, that's the best way to introduce the bad....they stole it from me really.......*Smiles inconvincingly* Sadly, the band only released one damn good album, and that was this, their self titled debut. American Hi-Fi are you're typical pop rock band, but they excell with thrashing cheeky little tunes which somewhat remind you of a Blink/Greenday blend. They are simply a ...  Read the complete review

I only recently heard about American Hi-Fi whilst doing my daily rounds on the music channels on Sky. Kerrang!, this is the music channel on which my ears were blessed, now I know that Kerrang! viewers like their bands such as Slip Knot and such, however this great band aren't the screaming lyrics about drugs, death, kids and so on (although in Flavor of the Week does refer to drugs). I haven't got the album, but I have downloaded most of it from Audio Galaxy, and suffice to say, the songs I have got are top quality. The best song on the album is by far Flavor of the Week, it's on of those feel good anthems that you can?t help but like. ...  Read the complete review

Upon hearing the single 'Flavor of the Weak', i was immediately impressed with the bands' sound, and buying the self-titled album couldn't have been a better decision...American Hi Fi immediately show what they are capable of, with songs like 'safer on the outside', 'i'm a fool' and 'what about today'. Although i'm not really a punk-rock fan besides new found glory and blink, i found american hi fi to be a worthy addition to my cd collection, with its epic sounding tunes and meaningful lyrics. Songs like 'Hi Fi Killer' show that the band aren't scared to make a harsh sounding punk song, (as most punk songs are ..  Read the complete review

This style of sort of punk/skater-associated style seems to be very popular these days, there are a lot of similar bands coming out and you could say one of the first more commercial bands was Blink 182 (I’m not saying American Hi-Fi are the same as blink 182 in any way, merely using as an example). American Hi-Fi I would say are different they are maybe just in a higher level than others, the music is just that bit better, more meaning to it. In my opinion they are a very good band and this is a brilliant album, great start to I hope a long career in the music world, I feel many would agree with me here. This band is becoming more popular it ...  Read the complete review
