A combination of all of their previous releases, the fact that there is something for everyone on Yellowcard's 8th LP 'Southern Air', makes it their best album yet! Every one of the Floridian pop-punk quintet's signature elements are here: The abundant hooks, exquisite violin melodies, endearing vocals & hard-hitting drumming. It results in an immediate LP that is packed with catchy & upbeat summer anthems; whose mature, relatable & poignant lyrics will prove to be timeless. Nostalgic in an uplifting fashion, there is absolutely no filler on this superb release. Recommended Tracks: Awakening, Always Summer, Ten, Surface of the Sun & A Vicious Kind.

Who likes pop-punk? I like pop-punk! But I also lied, because I am not a homosexual.

Too pop-like for me. Always the same predictable 3 chorus routine on every song. It would have
been much better balanced if every second song would be less predictable with more unexpected
twists thrown in.
But it seems they're doing the same over and over again. The way this album is it just gets
tedious too quickly. The lyrics can be amazing all they want, it's not enough to save it for me.

finally an album that can compete with ocean avenue. thinking must have sparked some long atrophied creativity because here we are with a solid viopunk bopper without a bad track and a highlight in always summer. ten is intense too

Good songs I would have loved if I had listened to this when it came out. Now it just sounds like the ghost of someone I thought I knew.

"This southern air is all I need, breathe it in and I can see canvasses behind my eyes, all the colors of my life." This pretty much sums up how I feel about this wonderful record.

Some of their poppiest material alongside some of their fastest, most shreddy stuff, plus the most heart-wrenching songs of their career. Ocean Avenue? Never heard of her.

Yellowcard reaches its potential and showcases just how good they can be. This is a must listen for any pop punk fans

Yellowcard's strongest record. The only real misfire is the saccharine "Here I Am Alive"; the rest is solid. "Always Summer," "A Vicious Kind," and "Rivertown Blues" are three of the band's best songs; "Ten" is an earnest, effective acoustic endeavor. It's still pop rock with lots of emphasis on the pop, but if you're in the market for something in that genre, you could do a lot worse than this.

Yellowcard continue to ride in on their successful return with an album that returns a bit to the band's earlier years. While it's not a complete return to that sound, Southern Air is a bit more upbeat and poppy in tone while still incorporating the maturity displayed on their previous album. It feels like a more mature and modern Ocean Avenue. It has the summery fun that it had, but just done with the experience and fine tuning that the band developed with time. Yellowcard yet again deliver another immediately-satisfying album showing no signs of slowing down.

For some reason, after listening through Southern Air for the first time, I was a bit underwhelmed. After listening another time, it has become one of my favorite albums. From Awakening to the title track, and even the Fix You Coldplay cover, Southern Air is Yellowcard's best album since Ocean Avenue, and may even surpass it.

Yellowcard continues their trend of great album, relative dud of an album in sequence. Southern Air has five good to great songs, and five mediocre to poor songs, including the worst song of their career, "Here I Am Alive". Luckily the good slightly outweighs the bad, enough to keep them relevant for another album cycle, which will see them inevitably produce another great album on the next outing.

With a solid handle on the insane concept known as emotion, catchy instrumentals (most notably the violin), strong vocals and meaningful lyricism. Yellowcard's "Southern Air", brings back an almost nostalgic feeling of times past, present and to come in the future. It's not often that an album has the inherent ability to make one pander into his own memories, regardless of the relevancy to the message in the songs overall.

It's a good album sprinkled with some classical Yellowcard hits and a few songs that really convey a powerful depth of emotion.

Great album. Yellowcard never disappoints. Not as good as Lights and Sounds in my opinion (My favorite YC), but still an excellent album that I thoroughly enjoyed listening to. Every song is unique and different from the rest, yet the whole album has a distinct sound that groups all the tracks together. Great album, I highly recommend it.
