Australian rockers You Am I, still chugging after nearly 20 years, rock like teenagers on Convicts while showing off the chops and punk-pop smarts that come with that kind of mileage. Part Replacements, part Clash with little pieces of a hundred other bands, the appealing directness of their sound is deepened by singer/guitarist Tim Rogers's songwriting chops and flair for clever, brutal lyrics. "Secrets" is a prime example--loaded with hooks and energetic guitar riffs, it's a shock after the blistering garage-band thrash that opens the record in the form of "Thank God I've Hit Bottom." The stylistic tendrils Rogers and the band have been extending since their 1993 debut Sound As Ever result in a diverse burst of songs that don't wear out their welcome (and the 36-minute run time helps as well). There are half a dozen pop nuggets here that, in a perfect world, would be on the radio every five minutes. But our world is not perfect, and so your only chance to enjoy them is to buy the record and relish the sound of professionals still sowing their wild musical oats. --Matthew Cooke

Conviction!.......2007-06-03
For a four-year span ending in 1987, the Replacements successfully blended feral punk abandon with poignant lyrics that detailed the perpetually out-of-sync life of a misfit. It was no coincidence that they morphed from anonymous punks into indie superstars during this time, and that that period's four albums: 1983's 'Hootenanny', 1984's 'Let It Be', 1985's 'Tim', and 1987's 'Pleased To Meet Me' make-up the bulk of the Replacement's formidable legacy.
Sydney's You And I find themselves at a similar intersection, effortlessly tossing-off literate-but-rough-edged epics seemingly at will. But this time around, they're filtered through a twenty-first century sensibility.
'Convicts' is a thirty-six minute and forty-three second hell-raising romp that places you at extreme risk for a speeding ticket. The rousing "Gunslingers" is probably best; its Hammond B3 organ providing a launchpad for some truly joyful guitar noise. But there really isn't a weak song in the bunch: "Thuggery", "The Sweet Life", "Constance George" and the Damned-ish "Thank God I've Hit the Bottom" are all just waiting to corrupt your volume control's sense of decency.
In fact, 'Convicts' is so good I assumed it was a compilation by a five-year old band finally getting their break in America. It turns out that this is just You And I's most-recent work, and that they've been at it since the mid-nineties.
In a world as networked and wired as ours, it's hard to believe that a band as good as You Am I could remain under radar for so long. But the secret's out, and there are no excuses left. Get convicted!
Rock's Not Dead.......2007-02-16
Incredible mix of Replacements sloppy swagger and energetic Jam or Kink rock. The first 3 songs really stand out and leave you with that fist-pump, catchy chorus kind of happiness. This is for anyone who wished the Replacements never ended or just want to once again realize that there are bands out there still making energetic, hard rock (not all the world listens to pop, hip hop and emo). If you want to preview a song somewhere the real gem on the cd is "It Ain't Funny How We Don't Talk Anymore." It will hook you.

Customer Reviews:
The recording quality is very bad........2005-01-31
This CD is a mixture of baritone and chorus. The songs sound beautiful but the quality of the recording is so bad that they can't be enjoyed. Someone recorded an outdoor concert with a pocket tape recorder and transferred it to a CD. The sound fades in and out. There is rustling and sounds of movement. I feel like I was cheated out of my money.

A Rap-A-Lot real street rap fan..........2006-10-29
Almost anything Rap-A-Lot drop is a classic joint. The Convicts LP is no exception. This was a post-NWA real street hit with 2 real nillaz kickin' some game for the ones that bought the product. Featuring Big 'Money' Mike (before Geto Boys) and 3-2 (before Blac Monks) on the straight up gangsta and the south'n aspect of the rap game and the street. Just got done listening to this CD I had from years ago, and I'm still not givin' this one up like I did my Willie D. (that was dumb...) My fav is "Wash Your Azz" and after riding the bus locked up next to a dope fiend, That part hits home like a mugg! Kickin' the real with a sense of humor, not too many M.C.s do that nowadays. Another joint I play on here is "Illegal Aliens." They made this album 15 years ago or so and that track is still relevent to this day if not more than that! "Sometime, it feels like I'm in a foreign country!" Man, them brothas was just talking about Texas! I don't know if Convicts had a video for the lead and, I think, the only single for this album, "This Is For The Convicts." If they did, it was probably on the BOX back in the day because they were the only station on cable that had pay-per-view music videos and had access to any Geto Boys, NWA, 2 Live Crew, or any hip hop along that line. I wonder where the BOX is now...
Anyway, if you reading this now and you like the screwed-up joints from Rap-A-Lot, hit them an' J. Prince up and ask about the Convicts screwed and chopped version and let's see if we can keep the true classics alive! OHHH, Rap-A-Lot did mess up with one release, but that was 'cause she could do a mean one for a contract!! You know what it is... One
DOA> > >.......2005-12-28
