[zooyorker182]

love these guys. they're so underrated

[Jaytothesyg]

Wow this thread is lacking harddddd.

No Sanctuary is gonna rule!!

[brandon_260]

Do people still read this thread? No Sanctuary is killer. The title track threw me off, in the best way.

A dude in General told me the title track sounded like ADTR. I couldn't disagree more.

Lol I would have to agree with you. I mean, I could see why someone would say that, but people very familiar with both bands wouldn't really think that. Do you get a Valencia vibe from Jetsetter?

[Brandon Allin]

Now that you mention it, I can definitely hear a little Valencia there. What are your favorite songs thus far?

I think No Sanctuary might be my favorite at the moment. The re-recorded Wrightsville Beach is awesome though. I do not think there is a bad track on this album. Your favorites?

In no particular order, I'm really feeling:

No Sanctuary
The Hammers Fall
Wrightsville Beach
Raining Excuses
Pirouette

That's like half of the album, but still, haha.

I would say my top 5 are the exact same songs. I like how they released some strong tracks off the record, but left the best ones until it is released. That was the problem with the Transit record. Long Lost Friends and All Your Heart my two favorites, but they didn't get to surprise me when the album came out.

I think people are going to love this version of Wrightsville Beach.

Agreed. I still haven't listened to the new Transit record. I should really get on that.

[brandon_260]

It's actually pretty great, but it does get a bit repetitive. I can actually see me enjoying No Sanctuary more than that one.

[Jaytothesyg]

I'm so stoked!

[brandon_260]

I'm so stoked!
You'll probably love it. I did not expect to like it as much as I do. Really came out of nowhere.

[Jaytothesyg]

Thats seriously what everyone is saying! Thats why I'm so excited haha I liked TKCL but it was mediocre pop punk. I love this band though and I'm glad they branched out from mediocre

Yeah, I liked The Kids Can't Lose for about a week, then forgot about it. Do not see that happening with this one.

[Jaytothesyg]

Hell yeah!!! I'm guessing Advances got sent out today? Some Asshole will probably leak it...But it comes out Monday so I can probably wait!

[brandon_260]

I think they got sent out later last night, that's when I got mine. I'm really looking forward to the 2 songs we get tomorrow with the pre-order. Did you preorder it?

Not yet! I was going to yesterday I probably will today, I'm trying to decide If I should order it separate from the 4-way Bayside/STD/IATA/Transit split and Handguns/FCC

Hahaha, those were the three things I ordered together this morning. I figured I would do it in time to get the two extra tracks. I really hate MerchNow, but I really want all three items, and know this is the best way to get them.

I just want the AL4W stuff on Tuesday!! And Handguns wont ship till the 8th....

[brandon_260]

I can wait for the CD is it means I'll save like 6-7 bucks on shipping. The 4-way and Handguns ship on the same day, so that works out perfectly.

[Sakarazu]

You guys are making me jealous. I want it so bad :(

I'm getting a mega bundle hahah

[brandon_260]

I wanted to, but I just didn't have the cash to do it this time around.

[brandon_260]

You guys are making me jealous. I want it so bad :(
I'm surprised it hasn't made its way out there already. Both Transit and La Dispute ended up out there the day most people got the advances.

[Sakarazu]

I'm surprised it hasn't made its way out there already. Both Transit and La Dispute ended up out there the day most people got the advances.

Yeah, I was too, and it definitely hasn't. I checked.

I CHECKED.

[brandon_260]

Yeah, I was too, and it definitely hasn't. I checked.

I CHECKED.
I'm glad it hasn't leaked yet. Not because of a whole "I have it, and you don't. Nanananana" reason, but because it really bummed me out when the other two leaked right away. It's good to see that people respect some artists enough.

[Jaytothesyg]

I wanted to, but I just didn't have the cash to do it this time around.

Thats why I havent ordered yet but I don't want top admit to myself that I don't have the money for it..Cuz I really want it :-(

Rise really made irresistible packages for these three records, especially for the price. I'm just happy I got the money for the four way split on green, since I feel that will sell quickly. I'm sure over time, I will end up picking up No Sanctuary on vinyl, and an AL4W shirt.

Yeah itll def sell fast thats why I gotta do this by tonight!

Yeah I know, and I feel bad for downloading (most) band's music, but I just can't afford to buy all of my music. I've bought a lot recently, though.

[brandon_260]

I think it only went up today, when I just happened to be buying this album. Just my luck, I guess. I'm glad I didn't get stuck with black.

I've, unfortunately, had to download some music lately, since I am now unemployed and living on my own. I used to buy EVERYTHING, but now I've started checking out albums I'm unsure about when they leak, to save myself from buying something I won't listen to more than once.

[Farva2]

I heard this thread needs some more people! I finally broke down and disregarded how much money i have and preordered the vinyl package tonight.

[xHoodieWeather]

Album is so good, wish I had the cash for the vinyl. Kids won't be disappointed with it at all, Matty sounds so good.

[brandon_260]

I really did not expect this album to be as great as it is.

[Jaytothesyg]

I heard this thread needs some more people! I finally broke down and disregarded how much money i have and preordered the vinyl package tonight.

Exactly what I did last night haha

[brandon_260]

So, the album is out there. What do people think?

Also, got my two bonus tracks today, just listening to them now.

Brb hunting.


Or if any kind soul would like to send me PM, that'd be welcome and appreciated.

what are the bonus tracks? Are they two completely different tracks or just demos or what?

[brandon_260]

Acoustic version of Pirouette and The Recluse, another acoustic track.

[PerfectChaos337]

I heard some people say the title track sounds like ADTR. It totally doesn't. A screamed verse followed by a sung chorus does not = ADTR.

So much this.

[Brandon Allin]

Agreed. Hardly even classifies as screaming, more so yelling, if you ask me.

[PerfectChaos337]

Agreed. Hardly even classifies as screaming, more so yelling, if you ask me.

Yeah, definitely more of a hardcore yell. I figured most of the people criticizing the track wouldn't know the difference if they were making an ADTR comparison to begin with, haha. When people said it sounded like them, I expected some bro-down easycore riffs or something. Glad it's not like that.

[mazerfaka]

The new album is awesome! Really good stuff! Im so happy today!

[xHoodieWeather]

I heard some people say the title track sounds like ADTR. It totally doesn't. A screamed verse followed by a sung chorus does not = ADTR.
Agreed. It is my favorite thing the bands done, however.
I wouldn't know how to classify it as I usually stick with softer pop-punk and haven't ventured into hardcore that much, but does anybody have any recs of bands or songs in the vein of that title track?

[Sakarazu]

Downloading it now, can't wait.

[futurebreed]

Got my pre-order yesterday... new album is fantastic

[Farva2]

I didnt like this on the first spin but now that im on my second go through, this album is fantastic.

[skibby15]

surprised by this album. love it. some parts remind me of head automatica

[JetpackJesus]

I thought The Kids Can't Lose was a fairly average record, with only Stamp Of Approval and Heavy Lies The Crown appealing to me, but this record has blown me away!

I was a bit wary when the band said "it isn't gonna be a pop punk record, its gonna be a rock record" before the album came out (in a very similar fashion to Four Year Strong) but I am not disappointed. I guess its kinda' funny that they wanted to make a rock record but my favorite song has ended up being Wrightsville Beach, pretty much the pop punk-iest song on the album haha.

So yeah, Wrightsville Beach, Pirouette and The Lost Cause I Used To Be have become my top 3 songs :)

[mar_]

Each time I listen through a different song sticks out to me. At first it was "Finite" then "The Lost Cause I Used To Be" and now it's "Pirouette and "Raining Excuses."
I think I just like the album all-around. Even the title track, which I didn't like upon the first listen, has grown on me. I think the screaming or whatever you want to call it just took me by surprise.

[matt8twy]

FINALLY just got this CD. And damn is it ever good.

[Brandon Allin]

Agreed. It is my favorite thing the bands done, however.

Comeback Kid

[skibby15]

Comeback Kid

yup

[Jaytothesyg]

Didn't know how to feel about the record on first listen. But man is it fucking good!

So impressed, Most likely gonna end up in my top 10 of the year!

[MiloSkibaMkII]

jetsetter sucks, but apart from that it is good

[matt8twy]

Wrightsville Beach is my favorite so far.

[PunkInfluence09]

I can't believe I waited so long to pick up "No Sanctuary". Pretty amazing stuff; been obsessed with it since I got it.
