Mar 21, 2011When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes isn't Yellowcard's best work, as Paper Walls still retains that title in my mind, but it's exactly the album that fans should be hoping for.

Mar 21, 2011As with their last album, the prominence of the violin continues to diminish, but what the strings lack in ubiquity they make up for in impact, making an impression when they appear rather than just fading into the background. This kind of refinement of their sound paints a picture of an older and wiser Yellowcard whose members are confident enough in their abilities that they can step away from the gimmick that initially set them apart from the pack and let their songwriting do the talking.

Alternative PressMar 18, 2011When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes sounds like less of a comeback and more of a homecoming. [Apr 2011, p.113]

Mar 21, 2011On this record, Yellowcard cover all the same territory as those latter bands, with vague stories of broken friendships, frustrated romances and perfect summers that they'll never get back. Because… you know… growing up, like… sucks. The lack of detail is the problem here.

Kerrang!Mar 22, 2011Think Jimmy eat World's last two albums and you'll get the general gist; an aching yet catchy anti-pop that tugs at the heartstrings while simultaneously making you want to dance. [12 Mar 2011, p.52]

Apr 21, 2011With the release of When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes, Yellowcard has proven that their best days may still be ahead of them.

Mar 22, 2011Overall, whatever you think of their craft, they've mastered it; this writer's mentioned almost every track on the album to hold up this review--and that's got to be a good sign.

Mar 21, 2011The band sounds fresh from their rest, aren't trying to be something they're not again, and most importantly, they sound young and sincere. Welcome back, Yellowcard.
