Review by Carrie Forde

Chiodos' 2005 album "Baby You Wouldn't Last a Minute on the Creek" is a post-hardcore masterpiece that solidified the band's place in the scene. The album is a perfect blend of emotional lyrics, intricate guitar riffs, and powerful vocals that showcase the band's range and talent.

From the opening track "Is It Progression If a Cannibal Uses a Fork?" to the final song "To Trixie and Reptile, Thanks for Everything," Chiodos takes listeners on a journey through their unique sound. The album features standout tracks like "Baby, You Wouldn't Last a Minute on the Creek," "The Undertaker's Thirst for Revenge Is Unquenchable (The Final Battle)," and "We're Gonna Have Us a Champagne Jam."

The band's use of piano and string arrangements adds a haunting and beautiful quality to the album, especially in songs like "A Letter from Janelle" and "Desperate Times, Desperate Measures." The lyrics are deeply personal and relatable, touching on themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.
