Destination Unknown

What a pleasant surprise I received. Thought I ordered the standard US release of this CD, but upon taking it out of the envelope & turning it over to view the tracks, I realized it was a Japanese import :) Destination Unknown along with Wasted Time & Mest's self-titled release bring such nostalgia to me. Mest has always felt part of the more genuine feeling in the wave of pop/punk groups that gained so much popularity from 2000 onward. They're also one of the first groups I discovered when I started developing my own taste as a teenager. They're only one of a few I don't feel embarrassed for liking, and are in an even smaller group of those that I still listen to.

I actually purchased a copy of this album years ago, but it was stolen some time later. I was pretty excited to see this item and couldn't wait to purchase it, despite having not listened to it in literally years. The album is great from start to finish with catchy lyrics you can't help sing along to and contagious energy. I love to listen to it when I'm driving; it seems to always put me in a great mood. This album is also great for anyone who likes music like Goldfinger, New Found Glory, or Good Charlotte. It's got some real attitude and serves as a good anthem for people who are growing and figuring out where they're headed in life, often with jaded undertones. I highly recommend this to others! Enjoy!

In case you've never heard Mest before, you'd like them if you like Good Charlotte, Goldfinger, New Found Glory, Blink-182, MxPx, Sugarcult, Student Rick... bands of that kin. Onto the album... to be perfectly honest, I was disappointed the first time I popped Destination Unknown into my CD player. On first listen it was not nearly as catchy as a whole as Mest's second album, Wasting Time. The songs that immediately caught my ear were (the obvious) the first single Cadillac, Without You, It's Over, Misunderstood and Drawing Board (an insatiably catchy and awesome song, also a re-release originally off of Wasting Time). I was unimpressed and sort of threw the CD aside for a few weeks until a Mest concert rolled around. About a week before the show, I decided to give the album a second chance. I'm so glad I did. This album is well worth any pop punk listener's money. Mest is one of my top 3 favorite bands. They put on an amazing show, have catchy tunes, and have lyrics with substance. Hard to come across these days- fun music with real lyrics. Anyone can relate to songs like the CD's opener, Opinions. I also like the diversity, with the reggae inspired Reason and the borderline love song Chelsea (which I absolutely love!). I honestly love every song on the album except Another Day, and even that's not that bad. I highly recommend this album to anyone who likes pop punk. If you liked Wasting Time and Mo Money Mo 40oz, you'll like Destination Unknown. Mest found a great sound and thank goodness they're sticking to it. All these bands come out feeling the pressure of a follow up album, and they go changing their whole sound... Not Mest though!! You might need to listen to it twice to really get hooked, but it's definitely worthy investment.

Another classic Mest album! I highly recommend it

Good Quality

I just got this CD today, I have already listened to it about 4 times!!! I highly suggest (any Mest fan,) to get this CD.I have got most my friends to worship Mest. It took only 1 time to listen to Cadillac, and 6 of my friends were hooked, then and there!!Great CD!And remember, MEST IS THE BEST!!!!

Ten years ago, the only music that I knew existed was country and top 40 pop. Then I discovered Mest. Well actually a friend of mine did, but my life was literally changed forever. Who knew that there was an entire remarkable genre of music that was not even played on the radio? I could not get enough and to this day I still love Destination Unknown. They may not have the most clever lyrics or unique musical style, but to me it is where my musical journey began. I would give it 10 stars if I could!

This album isn't my favorite, but I still like it. It's just that I have ghastly gotten real tired of listening to this album, but that doesn't stop this album from being good of course. My favorite song on here is either "Cadillac" or "Without You".

Excellent

シンプルプラン、SUM41、NFG、グッシャーなどが好きな人には、オススメできます。キャッチーなメロコア・パンク、ロック・ポップ感満載です。まあ、よくあるバンドだけどね。だから上記のバンドに飽きた人で、新境地を聞きたい人には、類似的につまらんかもしれんが。。。
