i've only heard the party scene and it's a solid 1/5. i don't really want to know if it's possible for them to make worse music.

Album Rating: 1.0

wtf happened to them? is all i can saw.

''wtf happened to them? is all i can saw.''


huh?

I've heard of these guys, never bothered to listen to them. Now I know to avoid 'em, thanks.

Album Rating: 2.0

Not looking forward to this after Nothing Personal and hearing I Feel Like Dancin'. Suspect i won't even download, yet alone pick up. Shame, because they were one of my favourite bands around the Put Up Or Shut Up EP and So Wrong, It's Right album. Good live though.

this probably sucks yeah

good to see you back reviewing again Dave.

not gonna lie, I sang along to Remembering Sunday a time or two back in the day...

"The vocals are meticulously processed to the point of blandness, though the choruses are generally so loud that it would be hard to pick out any real character in the singing regardless, and the bass player might as well have saved himself the trouble and taken a holiday during the recording sessions."

Great review. I haven't heard the record in its entirety but I still wouldn't be surprised to find this true.

That paragraph, however, breaks my heart. Alex is way too talented of a vocalist to be as processed as he is these days - and judging by the sound of this, it got worse from the last record. Also, Zack is probably one of the better bassists in the genre and it sucks that it doesn't seem to come across on the record.

Nice review...
I will either avoid this because I knew it would be bad in the first place, or I'll give it a listen so I can also give it a bad rating...I hate this band.

the only album of theirs ive actually heard is so wrong, it's right. it's not terrible, but aside from a few songs it's not too interesting. sounds like i won't enjoy the new album either.

This band always sucked the big one. Not suprised about this in the slightest. Excellent review though, Mr. D.

I think the way you just interpreted it as is the way I've been seeing it all along

Album Rating: 1.5

yep quite terrible. They get worse every album. Honestly, they don't even pretend to try anymore.

Album Rating: 1.0

Sounds like they channeled the spirit of Simple Plan to help them write music.

is it really that bad? woah.

It's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Album Rating: 2.0

I feared that this album wouldn't be very good. The style they stated for each song did not seem to fit their genre, and the lead single "I Feel Like Dancin'" sounded like a hit, but it's in poor taste and really bad writing. (really? a Ke$ha reference?)

You're a fanboy of new inflames, sit down.

It says a lot that in a year of unlikely and historic unions – AOL and Huffington Post, Her Majesty the Queen and Ireland, Osama Bin Laden and a bullet in his head – the most surprising and gruesome was an ex-Playboy mannequin’s whirlwind romance with All Time Low guitarist Jack Barakat.
