Any Room With Jessica Alba In It Is Heaven

[Jared Kaufman]

Yellowcard (http://www.yellowcardrock.com)'s record release show last nigt in New York City was apparently an amazing night capped off with an amazing performance by the band and special guests in attendance: Lindsay Lohan, The Olsen Twins and Jessica Alba. The band's new album, Lights and Sounds, is on shelves now.

[TBSowns524]

Wow... that's a lot of star power for a yellowcard cd release

Oh Jessica, the things I would do to you...

[kshtoinks12]

[DroppedUrPocket]

Nice special guests, assholes.

[Jared Kaufman]

egh, their cd is probably gonna be terrible
Haha. This sentence sounds like the album isn't out yet or hasn't been leaked for weeks.

[Jared Kaufman]

Oh Jessica, the things I would do to you...
Mmmhmmm!

[fromwithin]

[shadowsstatues]

[DroppedUrPocket]

Ohhh what a little TRL and stardom does to perception.

[fedhed7]

You're dumb. This album has been out forever. Get with the program.

[Steve Henderson]

Ohhh what a little TRL and stardom does to perception.
A crappy album certainly helps as well.

[jawkneephighv]

Yellowcard + starving musicians...literally. Well, not Alba.

[whatsername_]

i gotta say.. i was there and i didn't see any of those people. but i couldn't care less cuz yellowcard put on an amazing show

[mydreamrewrite]

loved 'Ocean Avenue'. Haven't heard the new one, but not sure why everyone is hating on them so viciously all of a sudden

[Steve Henderson]

If you hear the new one, your ears work, and you have a brain, it is not possible to like the new one.

[RockVocalPower]

This thread sucks.

[MusicOrMisery]

I've been a sufferer of JAS for a long while now...

Stop being so mean to YC!!!!1 :(

RYAN KEY IS SOOOOO HOTT

[Russ Hockenbury]

Did anyone see Yellowcard's special "Soundcheck" segment or whatever it's called that they're doing exclusively for Wal-Mart?

[kshtoinks12]

yea, thnx guys i relized when i saw the album review, i was trying to imply that its not gonna make any money.

[SingleDoubt]

i gotta say.. i was there and i didn't see any of those people. but i couldn't care less cuz yellowcard put on an amazing show
shutup

[SingleDoubt]

yea, thnx guys i relized when i saw the album review, i was trying to imply that its not gonna make any money.
what?

[kshtoinks12]

what?

no ones gonna buy it

[somethingyellow]

one of the best things they did for the new cd is invite alba to their release party

[NYC27]

Show was really good last. LP did a pretty sick drum solo for a minute or two and Ryan Mendez pulled some eddie van halen-esque solo out. Say what you will about not liking their new music or their history with Ben, but they put on a great show last night, although someone is apparently getting too old to do backflips anymore i guess. Three things: 1) before the show there is a screen blocking the stage and you can text messages to a certain number and they put some on the screen for everyone in the audience to see...someone texted "Where's Ben?" and it was up...couple people got a chuckle out of that. 2) Pete left the stage during Empty Apartment but you could still hear the bass being played...then midway through the song i see him at the soundboard upstairs in irving plaza...he got back on stage just in time for the end...i guess a guitar tech offstagfe was playing while he was gone... 3) Ryan asked the crowd how many people downloaded their record over the past few weeks and a lot of people cheered. he said that was "good, we don't care if you download it. i guess i shouldn't say that since our record company is here tonight, but we don't care."

[fromwithin]

Ohhh what a little TRL and stardom does to perception.

I really hope you werent talking about me, cause I have never liked them. Same goes for your band and all the people in it.

[Trainsaw]

this is all because they got rid of that guitarist.

[caliac-brex]

Holy crap, i hope someone in Yellowcard scored with one of those fine celebrity females after the show. Everyone cuts up on their new cd, but i think that yellowcard are good song writers. period.

[Johnny_G]

I really hope you werent talking about me, cause I have never liked them. Same goes for your band and all the people in it.

No, was just making a sweeping generalization for the majority of AP regulars. What are you talking about with my band?

If YC was as popular as they were when they released OA, I guarantee the hate wouldn't be half of what it is now.

[chokeychicken]

Holy crap, i hope someone in Yellowcard scored with one of those fine celebrity females after the show. Everyone cuts up on their new cd, but i think that yellowcard are good song writers. period.

good SONG WRITERS?!

are you kidding me?

tim kasher from cursive is a good song writer. chris connely is a good song writer. conner oberst is a good song writer.

nobody in yellowcard knows anything about writing good music.

but i guess you think "ocean avenue" was hot and fresh, right?

[CyberInferno]

yea, thnx guys i relized when i saw the album review, i was trying to imply that its not gonna make any money.
How does "egh, their cd is probably gonna be terrible" equate to it not making any money?

Apparently you haven't realized that quality has nothing to do with how well something sells. This CD will sell incredibly well. Also remember that most people buy a CD without downloading it first, so they don't know what they're getting. And I think that's still a safe assumption because most people who download the CD probably don't buy it anyway.

[fromwithin]

No, was just making a sweeping generalization for the majority of AP regulars. What are you talking about with my band?

ah thought you were someone else, sorry.

[BlinkFoundMSU]

dave from mae hooked up with lindsey lohan

[YCfan]

i like the new cd. granted i have been a fan since way back..i didn't let the drama distort my perception of their music..ryan key..alittle..but i don't think about him when i listen to the cd. so its not a problem.

[fromwithin]

dave from mae hooked up with lindsey lohan

no way!

[ActorInThisPlay]

this CD isn't half as bad as everyone is making it out to be. this is the new CD that is apparently "cool" to hate.

[ActorInThisPlay]

No, was just making a sweeping generalization for the majority of AP regulars. What are you talking about with my band?

If YC was as popular as they were when they released OA, I guarantee the hate wouldn't be half of what it is now.
exactly, these kids have to try to act cool in front of their AP friends otherwise they won't be accepted in society.

[fromwithin]

exactly, these kids have to try to act cool in front of their AP friends otherwise they won't be accepted in society.

you must be an idiot, cause I said I've always hated them. They have no talent, and what they did to their guitarist was disgraceful. That alone would make me stop listening to them, if I did.

[Steve Henderson]

Holy crap, i hope someone in Yellowcard scored with one of those fine celebrity females after the show. Everyone cuts up on their new cd, but i think that yellowcard are good song writers. period.
"Stop, turn, take a look around - at all the lights and sounds"

Yeah, that is amazzzziiiiing!

[SomethingLikeTJ]

Wish I coulda been there...
To see Jessica Alba.

[Imallout007]

i wish ppl would grow up, i really do. If u disklike or like YC is ur own opinon quit bitching at each other over whether the album was good or not. if u like it that good for u, if u hate it then thats good for u 2. If u hate it because u have no idea whats goin on and actually bought the album but say u "hate" yc then ur a follower and u suck


I personlly dislike yc cause of the whole ben thing, but im not gonna bitch about that cause i already have


and jessica alba is fine.....

[sidewacker]

I find it rather obserd how people judge an album based upon what other people have said, even though they have not given it a listen. All this website has is a bunch of bandwagon bullshit. If one person says Yellowcard sucks, all the sudden everyone thinks the same without using THEIR OWN judgement. It has become more obvious to me each time I visit this website. The most prominent example of a bandwagon on this site has to be the infactuation with bands that provide anything but a breakthrough in the music industry: Hawthorne Heights. The problem here, franctly, is that people do more listening to others, than listening to themselves.

[ACA]

Fuck, I wanted to go to this show, but tickets sold out on me.. I didn't realize it was CD-release party. Damn.

-ACA

[punkrockcasual]

The CD isn't good.. it has nothing to do with a bandwagon, tard.

[duffe]

Jessica Alba <3

[bromuda]

this board is so gd fickle...

[fight4urdemons]

The new record has some good tracks, a lot of mediocre tracks, and some real shitty tracks.
Combined with their sell out attitude, I think a lot of former Yellowcard fans have a right to criticise the band now.
Friday nite i saw Fall Out Boy, a band meeting the same level of success that Yellowcard did. The diferrence is, love them or hate them - you can tell Fall Out Boy are genuine, they're in it to make music and to help kids by playing their music.
Yellowcard just want dollars.

[The Revisionist]

Wow, and I thought I was shallow.

You people are seriously some of the stupidest motherfuckers on the planet.

[thebestkylever]

i saw james augustine at the yellowcard/starting line show in champaign last year. i thought that was pretty sweet...

[Steve Henderson]

this board is so gd fickle...
Am I fickle as well for hating this CD? Despite the fact that I wrote 2 pages of why I feel that it is crap? Get off your soapbox, and realize that maybe people are bashing it because it just isn't good.

[MemoryFades]

what bands opened up for this show?

[Alabama]

you must be an idiot, cause I said I've always hated them. They have no talent, and what they did to their guitarist was disgraceful. That alone would make me stop listening to them, if I did.
umm, I know it has to sound really stupid, but.. what exactly happened to yellowcard and ben harper? I know he left the band to start to work with some record company or so, but this whole yellowcard-ben harper fight didn't really reach me (I'm not from the U.S. by the way, I've seen them in here on TV ecaxtly one time and I know one other person that knows them (by knowing I mean ever heard of them.. :I ))

[lesto17]

He didn't leave the band to work on his label Takeover Records, he was kicked out. He was so upset that there was even talk of him suing Yellowcard and forcing them to keep him in the band. I'm not sure if any of that ever went through, and I also (just like everyone else) have no idea why exactly Ben was kicked out.

[NYC27]

what bands opened up for this show?


Mae opened up for them and they were EXCELLENT. I love their albums but had never seen them live, I was very impressed.

[SingleDoubt]

Fuck, I wanted to go to this show, but tickets sold out on me.. I didn't realize it was CD-release party. Damn.

-ACA
why do you sign your posts? it makes you look like a damn fool.

[sicwaitingdan]

What was their setlist last night??

[ActorInThisPlay]

you must be an idiot, cause I said I've always hated them. They have no talent, and what they did to their guitarist was disgraceful. That alone would make me stop listening to them, if I did.
yeah because the bands you listen to have so much more talent. seriously, like someone said before, it's a bandwagon and it works both ways. it can be to either like a band or to hate a band, but when people make decisions on an album based on 1 listen or no listens then they are fucking stupid. if i just threw out every album i thought was mediocre after one listen, i wouldn't have to come to like a lot of the albums that I would say are my favorites.

[Steve Henderson]

why do you sign your posts? it makes you look like a damn fool.
Haha, I have been wondering the same thing for some time now. I am guessing it is a copy of LPMagic, who signs everything "-Jeff" or some shit.

[Kyner]

loved 'Ocean Avenue'. Haven't heard the new one, but not sure why everyone is hating on them so viciously all of a sudden

Hating Yellowcard is the new hating Fall Out Boy.......haven't you heard?

[NYC27]

What was their setlist last night??


They opened with Lights and Sounds and closed with Ocean Avenue.
In between was (don't remember all of them):

Way Away
Breathing
Empty Apartment
Life of a Salesman
Only One
Believe

Cigarette (Ryan played acoustic then full band came out)
October Nights

Avondale

Down On My Head
Sure Thing Falling
Rough Landing Holly


I know I'm missing a few (i think they may have played Words, Hands, Hearts but can't remember) but that is the majority of the set.

[ever so sweet20]

i didnt download the album, and im sure as hell not buying it, i gave it a spin on their myspace, they had it up for streaming, its shitty. thats that. its not a good album, and they are all a bunch of asshats, save for lp who seemed to be the only one who wanted to let ben know what was going on, and yes, kicking my favorite member out does have a large hand in my dislike for them, but nothing compares to one for the kids, or the underdog ep. this album isnt great, how it got rated more then a 1 out of 10 ANYWHERE is anyones guess, but whatever, it will sell well, but i will not give these guys anymore of my hard earned dollars, id much rather spend my $ on bands who dont stab their friends in the back.

[MemoryFades]

Mae opened up for them and they were EXCELLENT. I love their albums but had never seen them live, I was very impressed.

so they were the only other band playing?

[Gabe Gross]

Yellowcard is like the best band ever. The blond pre-teen singer has the cutest face in all of rock.

Boner.

[tiny222]

I enjoy Yellowcard, but I lose a lot of respect for them because of the whole Ben issue, & the fact that I hear how big of assholes they are, which really sucks. It's hard to listen to a band who does uncool things to cool people.

[Steve Henderson]

Read my review...I am sure you'll agree with me.

[NYC27]

so they were the only other band playing?


I think there was some random non-"scene" (yes, i use the term loosely) band that played right as doors opened b/c i saw merch for them, but doors opened at 8 and i got there 8:30 and no one was on...so not sure....but on Irving Plaza's site and YC's site Mae is the only listed support.

[Steve Henderson]

Yellowcard is like the best band ever. The blond pre-teen singer has the cutest face in all of rock.

Boner.
You are sposed to spell it "LykE" when making fun of scene kiddies.

[Imallout007]

You are sposed to spell it "LykE" when making fun of scene kiddies.
u forgot the smilies faces and the exclamaitons points

[FASSWcore]

hot girls should override the presence of yellowcard, but even they can't stop the suck

[tooemoformycat]

ok it really wasn't THAT amazing.

Mae was awesome though.

[Bruycker]

fuck you guys all annoy me , I don't like the new album but please don't talk so much shit about them , i'm sure everyone of you ever enjoyed at least one song from them

[Sinister Rouge]

rolling stone gave the new album 3 and a half stars...good for RS.

This album is pretty good, better than ocean avenue...I don't like their recent commercialism with Verizon however.

[Greg]

fuck you guys all annoy me , I don't like the new album but please don't talk so much shit about them , i'm sure everyone of you ever enjoyed at least one song from them
so because we liked (atleast) one song we cant say how we feel? hahahahaha

[ETesdall]

good SONG WRITERS?!

are you kidding me?

tim kasher from cursive is a good song writer. chris connely is a good song writer. conner oberst is a good song writer.

nobody in yellowcard knows anything about writing good music.

but i guess you think "ocean avenue" was hot and fresh, right?


Seriously you are fucking ignorant asshole who doesnt know shit about anything himself.

[Of Dust and Nations]

i cant believe all the people in this thread that actually said they are bad songwriters and they have no talent. i hate hawthorne heights but i admit that they are still talented and they obviously must be at least somewhat good at songwriting if two of their songs they wrote themselves got them thousands of records sold. until you guys write a song that pushes a ton of cd's and has kids all over the country singing it then dont call a band talentless and/or bad songwriters.

[satanisanerd]

I am still convinced that this is a B-sides album. A couple songs even sound like a Vegas Lounge Act.

[deFobbed14yrs]

go back to ocean avenue would ya? who gives a shit about hte anorexics that showed. they couldn;'t tell good music, they're too busy pucking up theri dinner.

[deFobbed14yrs]

what is with that violinist guy trying to be rock? A VIOLIN IS NOT ROCK!! and he's like all smiley and crap. WTF?

[deFobbed14yrs]

what happened to ben?

[RockVocalPower]

This thread sucks even more with the addition of the two posts above this one

[notetoxself]

I would just go to see Lindsay Lohan and the Olsen Twins lol

[Steve Henderson]

Seriously you are fucking ignorant asshole who doesnt know shit about anything himself.
Actually he was dead-on.

[masonic]

Lights and Sounds > Ocean Avenue, but not as good as One For The Kids. I feel like I'll be able to listen to these songs on a much more consistent basis than OA Ocean Avenue was a tad too saccharine for my tastes. This is more of an extension of Way Away and Breathing, the best tracks from the last album. There do seem to be some more growing pains, in different ways than Ocean Avenue had them, such as in Space Travel and Words, Hands, Hearts. I wish Ryan Mendez could have contributed to this album, I'm excited to see what his input to the band will be, as On is still in my all time favorite albums.

Anyway, most hate on this album comes from the Ben Harper situation, which I'm a tad torn on because it seems like he got a raw deal, but again, now Ryan Fucking Mendez is in the band. Improvement and a half. The rest of the hate is kids who already dislike Yellowcard taking advantage of said drama.

P.S. Oh my God Rough Landing Holly for the win. Awesome track.

[drewtLtL]

Rough Landing Holly Interlude = Jimmy Eat World Futures Intro

[earlynovemberX]

egh, their cd is probably gonna be terrible

why so much negativity?

[earlynovemberX]

what a bunch of asshats. god i'm glad i've hated yellowcard since day 1.

asshats because jessica alba showed up to their release party....hell, if i could pull alba out to anything could die happy.

hats off....

[earlynovemberX]

This thread sucks.

ditto

[rufiocardtime]

haha ignorant is the word that igorant people call other people in order to make themselves sound less ignorant.

that is the damn truth. and that's all i wanted to say.

wise people never call other people ignorant because wise people know that there are other things more important than knowledge.

at the yc show i went to a couple months ago...pete did the same thing on empty apartment...walked to the soundboard and hung out for a few seconds and then left. i don't know why the fuck he did it.

the ryan mendez and lp solos were pretty damn sick. proving that the band does have great musicianship, despite the popular notion that suggests otherwise.
