    When 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.

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

    Think 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]

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

    Overall, 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.

    The 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.

    Yellowcard is back. Period. The new album "When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes" is a solid one. My top 3 songs are "For You And Your Denial"Yellowcard is back. Period. The new album "When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes" is a solid one. My top 3 songs are "For You And Your Denial" "Hang You Up" and "With You Around" are the highlights of the album. The album opens with "The Sound of You and Me" which in a way, reminds me of how Ocean Ave opened with "Way Away." Key's vocals are the same as fans will remember them. The lyrics could be stronger in certain songs, but the fact that this is the first new material in 3 years, fans will still love every minute. Welcome back Yellowcard… Full Review »

    Yeah, the old Yellowcard is back. The band have returned to their original sound we last heard in their major record debut album Ocean Avenue.Yeah, the old Yellowcard is back. The band have returned to their original sound we last heard in their major record debut album Ocean Avenue. My favorite song in this album is "Be The Young". Listening to that song while driving on a road by the beach with the sunsetting is the best time and place to listen to that song. Well done guys… Full Review »

    We can see how much the guys from Yellowcard got better since "Paper Walls", but they didn't get into the best they could do. After all,We can see how much the guys from Yellowcard got better since "Paper Walls", but they didn't get into the best they could do. After all, pearls like "Dear Bobbie" (tracking in their sophomore CD) don't get expanded in this one. Actually, being "Dear Bobbie" their greatest music, they could not get through the medium ones this time. They might got on the track to a perfect album, but they are just trying it too hard right now. Something to watch on.… Full Review »
