    It may be one of the least "punk" albums a pop-punk band will make this year--but it's probably one of the best, too. [Feb 2006, p.113]

    It's too tepid to be offensive. [Feb 2006, p.87]

    Contains far too many bland ballads. [Feb 2006, p.105]

    A beautiful album. I love how Yellowcard has a violin. It ends up accounting for some really good songs they make, and this album is no exeption. It's even got a jazz-type song in there about war. Go get it.… Expand

    The BEST Yellowcard album ever!!! I love all the songs. The song I like the most is " Sure Thing Fallen'. I think this album may be better then Ocean Avenue because all the songs on the album have so much feeling in them. Like "Holly Wood Died" and " City Of Devils" they have so much feeling in them. How can you not like this album?… Expand

    Thanks to my roomate - I've had the displeasure of hearing this CD from beginning to end. Every sweet intro, raging chorus, and quiet four bar breakdown is telegraphed like a punch from an 80 year old heavyweight. Overall it's just too friggin' boring to be taken seriously. Not to mention that the lyrics for "Two Weeks From Twenty" are so ridiculous that it will leave you howling with laughter.… Expand
