Official Score = 2 1/2 Devils[/caption]Believe it or not fright fans, but when I was in School my musical tastes tended to lend itself to the, 'bizarre'... And I don't mean that I listened to something that was dangerously over the top... No what I mean by this is that I used to listen to music that some would say is a little bit to old for me at that age... (I used to listen mostly to, 'Jazz', 'Sting' and the like... Music that didn't befit a person of my age back in the mid 90s...)
Well the truth is, is that I still listen to that music frequently, but in the mid 90s I got introduced to the darker world of music (Heavy Metal, Rock & Punk, etc...) And you know what? I have never regretted it! But it wasn't until the last 90s when I would first be introduced to the world of, 'Punk' through the kick ass group, 'The Offspring' and their album, 'Ixnay On The Hombre'!
The reason that I mention this is that I am proud to be able to review the first punk song that I had ever heard, and that song of course being, 'Cool To Hate'!
The truth is, is this song is not the greatest song in the world, but when I first heard this song in the work room one summer when I had a part time summer job and the truth is, is I was and still am hooked!

A scene from the music video...[/caption]Why is, 'punk' such an awesome genre? well simply put it has the same hardcore capacity as heavy metal but with a speed that makes the song more entertaining! And that goes along with this song as well!
I hate to say this, but this song is not exactly one of the happiest songs in the world. but it has an awesome beat that works well for the most part,.. And despite the negative nature of this song, the lyrics are fun to work to! Although I will be honest, for me, being a fan of most forms of music, their are songs that are good for many reasons, but the truth is, is if a song can't be listened to for the sake of listening to it, then in all honesty, that song is probably not one of the greatest songs to be listening to... And the truth is, is that I did end up liking this song, but for the background music only...
In the end, this song opened up a whole new world of music for me, and the truth is that this song may not be the best in the world, but if you have a chance and are looking for some new music to check out, then check this out, I think you may like it!
