don't do it. I bought it because my girlfriend and I couldn't get that song Weightless out of our heads, and I was so fucking angry I purchased such a shit factory of an album

If you like to wear neon t-shirts and air force ones, and if you like over saturated pop music. Then my answer is yes

I didn't like it. Preview it on Amazon or something to see how you like it, though. If you like pop music or are just a diehard ATL fan chances are you'll really like it. It's up to you. If it were up to me to do it over again I wouldn't have bought it. Some songs I enjoy, such as Weightless, Damned, Keep The Change and Stella, but the record just isn't my favourite of theirs.

Personally I think it's a good album. There are a few songs that I don't like and skip all the time like Too Much, but as a whole it's a solid album, in my opinion anyway. If you're a fan of ATL it's def worth giving it a chance online or something first, that being said it def isn't my favorite cd of theirs by any stretch of the imagination.

Don't buy it. I'm an ATL fan and it's just okay.
Jesus, seems like a lot of hate going on here. I bought it for $7.99 at Best Buy and it was worth it. About half the CD is good (the first 5 songs are about it, IMO) but it's a good release and there are definitely 2-3 pop/punk jams you'll get stuck in your head.
Additionally though my favorite song from this recording process is a b-side that didn't even make the album called Poison, so you could just buy that on iTunes instead.

you did all the work for me
If you want to, just try and get it burned from a friend. I like to pay for albums from bands to help support them, but not buying this would be doing a lot of us a favor. I was a HUGE fan of All Time Low after hearing Put Up or Shut Up and So Wrong, It's Right. I just cannot stand the new album. A Party Song is the only song on the whole album that is somewhat reminiscent of Put Up. I just don't like it. Other people say that they don't think it's changed and its "what I should have expected from ATL." I just don't find it to be anywhere near the old stuff. If you like the verses of Weightless, you will probably like it though. I couldn't stand how poppy that song was in the verses, but I thought the chorus was classic ATL. Try it if you want. It's all personal preference. I don't like to use the term "sell-out" but I kinda have to here.

Did you really like A Party Song? It was one of my least favorites, I thought it was very far from PUSO. Keep the Change and BYLH were the too that were closest to PUSO for me, but thier still pretty far.
I like weightless and a party song. that's about it. it's cliche to say this by now but PUOSU is hands down their best album, get that first if you havent already.

The music on Break Your Little Heart was reminiscent, but the lyrics were lame and cheesy. Wasn't a fan of the "Break your little heart in two" part. Verses were legit, but not the chorus I guess. Keep The Change was mediocre at best.
Will somebody explain how you go from "When it all comes down to a sunrise on the east side will you be there to carry home the remains of my wasted youth, and this wasted time on you," to "Tell me what your best friend knows that I don't know"? Anybody see what I'm getting at? I can go on for days. None of the lyrics were originals. I guess that is what it comes down to for me was the lyrics.
"I'm happy if you're happy with yourself."
"Too much of anything is too much."
"Everybody knows there's a party at the end of the world."
I can go on for days.
I liked A Party Song because of the "I took a walk for the very first time on the darkside of the dance floor," lyrics. I thought that whole introduction was sick. I liked the verses too, so I guess it was pretty good all the way around.
The only other song I thought had legitimate lyrics and Poison (Bonus Track). I thought the lyrics were pretty good on it too.

Take a giant shit in the toilet and then have Matt Squire clean up your shit to the point that it's lost anything special about it and looks just like a small shit. Shove that shit inside your ears until it leaks all over your brain and takes away any intelligence you once had.
or, you can listen to Nothing Personal. It's about the same effect

Can people seriously not make decisions anymore? These are some guidelines. Absolutes. No exceptions.
If you want it, buy it. If you have money and want it, buy it. If you're poor, don't buy it. If you have a credit card and are poor, buy it. If you are unemployed, don't buy it. If you are unemployed but like to steal money, buy it. If you are a crack whore, go to work then buy it. If you touch yourself at night, buy it. If you're a vegan, buy it. If you have a penis, don't buy it. If you're out of shape, don't buy it. If you're out of shape but can afford liposuction, buy it. If you don't like asparagus, buy it. If you wear hats with sweat stains, don't buy it. If you shop at Aeropostale, buy it. If you know how to read, don't buy it. If you enjoy licking electrical sockets, buy it. If you have had at least threeve abortions, don't buy it. If you know how to drive, buy it. If you believe in unicorns and cat heaven, don't buy it. If you eat cotton candy only whilst wearing rubber gloves, buy it. If you are gluten intolerant, don't buy it. If you think that aliens exist but refuse to listen to that Blink-182 song, don't buy it. If you love neon colors and teenage girls, don't buy it. If you believe in trains, buy it. If you wear llama skin jackets in the winter, don't buy it.

Riiiiight. Or I consider the discussion forums to be actual forums for actual discussions and not just for dumping every picture on your photobucket account. What a shithead I am! How about this: you learn to actually interact with someone who asks you a simple effing question or you...

And for anyone keeping score at home, according to the Yellowcard2006 English Dictionary:
expressing an opinion= "being too serious"
asking for clarification on something= "mad"
saying 'have fun at dinner', 'forget it Jake, it's Chinatown'= "losing your shit"
Additionally though my favorite song from this recording process is a b-side that didn't even make the album called Poison, so you could just buy that on iTunes instead.
I think that's probably one of the better songs, and it didn't make it. But it's worth buying on iTunes.
Not for Nothing Personal:
From ATL, it's definitely a step down. But if you want songs that will get stuck in your head, it works. It's not a terrible album, it's catching, but it's a lot like sugary candy. Weightless is probably the best track on it.
I debated back and forth, and finally gave in and bought it on Saturday, and then cracked the CD case. So it's a decision I regret, because I already had the songs from my friend and it was just a guilty conscience that led to me giving in. I could have bought something I didn't have, but like I said, guilty conscience. So really, it just depends on whether you want the saccharine album or not, which is what most people have said.
Nothing is worth buying on iTunes.
