On their first album since their 1996 reunion record, EVERYTHING SUCKS, '80s punk icons the Descendents unleash a fierce set of songs that fits seamlessly with their well-honed, melodic yet rocked-out sound. Vocalist Milo Aukerman still emotes the way he did when he was a teenager, but now the odes to geek woe ("Mass Nerder") and gastronomic distress ("Blast Off") are joined by songs such as "'Merican," a scathing US government broadside worthy of Bad Religion. As always, the rest of the band wraps tight, straightforward rhythms and potent guitar lines around Aukerman's sincere sentiments, showing that, happily, some things haven't changed that much since the Descendents debuted in 1981.

Recorded at The Blasting Room, Fort Collins, Colorado in February 2002.

Personnel: Milo Aukerman (vocals); Stephen Egerton (guitar); Bill Stevenson (drums); Chad Price (background vocals).

Descendents: Milo Aukerman (vocals); Stephen Egerton (guitar); Karl Alvarez (bass); Bill Stevenson (drums).

Rolling Stone (p.74) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[T]he Descendents mostly abandon the high school angst of their heyday and keep it real..."
Spin (p.105) - "On COOL TO BE YOU, the Descendents return with their pop smarts intact and their caffeine highs still raging." - Grade: A-
CMJ (3/22/04, p.4) - "COOL could be a perfect introduction for kids just discovering punk, but will appeal just as completely to veterans of the genre, or anyone who's ever felt heartbroken, left out or discontent."

I've only recently gotten into the Descendents and I would say this is there best effort so far. Cool To Be You has a great punk-pop feel musicly and lyricly. The recording is great and I would highly recommened this anlbum to any punk fan! -Douyfnd

3 stars Semi - neat-o
Talk about a blast from the past, I figured these guys were long since dead... was surprised to hear they had a new album, and curiosity and nostalgia got the better of me, so I checked it out. Kinda average, but a few kewl tracks, I think I would've liked it more if I was still 16. Kids'll LOVE it tho, probably, so if you're still in high school ya might wanna scoop this one up; if you remember the Descendents from when you were in school, though, trust me- it just aint the same anymore (you really can't go home again). Peace

4 stars Schwing-batta
huge descendents fan, go way back actually. i thought they mighta gone way weak seeing as they broke off from the studio for so long, but this album does indeed rock. however, i beg to differ, with uh.... above. the song blast off is annoying and stupid, however maddie, and the first song (sorry the name isn't coming to me) are awesome, those two just really stand out for me. and, yes,it does sound like all. awesome cd.

5 stars Better than everything sucks
Okay okay, I know everyone likes to say. This doesn't sound like Milo goes to college. But it does sound like ALL. Good enough for me. These guys are wonderful song writers and this album rocks. Truly a must have punk cd, in a world where wussy pop punk like New Found Glory is even considered punk music. Buy this album. REMIND YOURSELF WHAT GOOD MUSIC ACTUALLY SOUNDS LIKE!!!
