    Where When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes was safe at times and perhaps slightly predictable, Southern Air keeps listeners intrigued and invested throughout. This is the best pop-punk album of 2012.

    With their eighth studio album, Yellowcard anything but disappoints.

    The triumphant streak continues with Southern Air, an album on par with 2003's beloved Ocean Avenue. [Sep 2012, p.93]

    If you can look beyond this band's inherent safe-ness, there's plenty her for fans of the sugar rush offered by Paramore, All Time Low, Simple Plan et al to enjoy. [11 Aug 2012, p.53]

    Yellowcard's Southern Air impressed me. After the last disappointing album, this is their REAL comeback. Both longtime and new fans would absolutely find this piece satisfying as it was meant to be.… Collapse

    Souther Air is the kind of album that has so much emotion in the lyrics that ita impossible to not like. From the opening track Awakening (which could have come straight off of Ocean Ave) to the incredibly sad Ten, this album grabs you and doesn't let go. Longtime fans will be impressed and newcomers will not be able to put down this album. A must for anyone that appreciates good songwriting and amazing vocals.… Expand

    Yellowcard, unlike many of its pop-punk peers, have weathered well the transition to mainstream rock. What the album lacks in inventiveness it makes up for in concise hooks and genuine sentimentality.… Expand
