So, some very anticipated albums came out today - what all did you buy and what are your thoughts on your purchases so far?
40$ well spent.

[ParisInFlames55]

the new saves the day is incredible.
i forgot the joe wilson cd came out today. i am going to see him next week, so i will pick it up then.
those two are my picks.

[rainraindown]

i went to buy the new saves the day today and it was $11.99 at best buy, i heard it was meant to be $8.99? so i said fuck that shit and left...

[Drew Beringer]

Moneen, Saves The Day, Hit The Lights, and Punchline for me.

[satanisanerd]

I have a wishlist, some of these albums will be bought and some wont. Which one(s) do you suggest I get first?:
Punchline
Versus the Mirror
Rookie of the Year
Hit the Lights
Ryan's Hope
The Riverboat Gamblers
Saves the Day
Moneen

[Rohan Kohli]

Nooooo, it says 11.99 on the CD, but when they ring it up it's 8.99

[MultisensoryAE]

I preordered Hit the Lights from Smartpunk and it didnt come yet :\ so I'll get back to ya tomorrow on what I think

[VeloriumCamper]

Saves The Day - For me, it was a dissapointment. Some songs are great but overall i can forget about it. 6/10

Punchline - Very impressed. Catchy and the vocals are pretty impressive. This might be making my Top 20 or even 10 this year. 8/10

Moneen - Wow. This album is definitely the best of '06 so far. Beautiful. The vocals are classic Moneen, and musically they have kept it real, but yet improved. 9/10

Hit The Lights - Ehhhh. Lots of talk about this but i don't find it very memorable. "Bodybag" and "Save Your Breath" are fun tracks, but that's about it. Nothing too exciting. 5/10

[oxfordqueef]

i pre-ordered moneen and saves the day and they didn't get here. grrrrrrrrrrr

[theacademyis]

saves the day and built to spill are both worth the money

[AbeLurkin]

I have a wishlist, some of these albums will be bought and some wont. Which one(s) do you suggest I get first?:
Punchline
Versus the Mirror
Rookie of the Year
Hit the Lights
Ryan's Hope
The Riverboat Gamblers
Saves the Day
Moneen

this list needs to be flipped upside down. moneen is amazing. structurally...wow.

[Tony]

so far, i've just picked up saves the day and pretty girls make graves. might pick up moneen sometime later this week.

[VeloriumCamper]

I have a wishlist, some of these albums will be bought and some wont. Which one(s) do you suggest I get first?:

Get:
Moneen
Punchline

Don't Get:
Hit The Lights

[livelovecrydie]

the new saves the day is fantastic

[theGrue]

I heard Hit The Lights has some terrible new copy protection on it. Can anyone confirm that?

[N8IVIin0rity]

as soon as i get off work ill probz go buy HTL and ROTY.

[AFSjulian]

I bought Saves the Day and Moneen today and will probably buy Pretty Girls Make Graves and Built to Spill tomorrow. Maybe Punchline too if I have the extra money just because I really liked "The Getaway". I hated Action though... Greg Wood might be the deciding factor.

Anyhow, I'm really happy with Saves the Day and Moneen. Sixteen dollars well spent... thank you Best Buy! I expected STD to be great, but Moneen really impressed/shocked me. Every chorus seems to soar and the music is structured so excellently. I think both of these will have staying power with me.

[flipandbaker08]

I picked up moneen, std, and punchline and I'm very happy

[AFSjulian]

I forgot to mention Hit the Lights. I didn't buy it today, but recieved an advance copy in the mail awhile ago and listened to it for a week straight. It's catchy as hell. If you were disappointed with the last FOB record, it's for you.

[rainraindown]

pre-orders are worthless unless you are getting something extra for free
they rarely get them out before the release date and then you have to wait over a week for it to arrive cause the mail system will jerk you around

FUCK YOU USPS/DHL/UPS/FEDEX!

[etwiels]

i download albums instead

[EmoErk]

Punchline and Rookie of the year for me, had them pre ordered, amazing, i saw ryans hope at my university here in Marquette MI with Lawrence Arms Saturday night, amazing show, Ryans Hope was better than Lawrence Arms

[chokeychicken]

i download albums instead

dan yemin would be proud.

the new saves the day record is fucking awesome. its so good.

i wish i could comment on individual songs, but i've had the breakdown at the end of "the end" on repeat all day.

[Save my day]

HTL and Punchline are the kinda bands that are ruining pop punk.

STD and moneen are salvaging it.

[sweetfootaction]

I heard Hit The Lights has some terrible new copy protection on it. Can anyone confirm that?

No, it has no copy protection on it. I easily ripped it witout any trouble at all.

[unwritten]

I never got my pre'd STD but I'm going to pick up Moneen now.

[Tommyg117]

Saves the Day, Moneen, Hit The Lights and Protest the Hero, even though that didn't come out today. Definitely a good day for cds. I havn't bought any in a little bit so I had to splurge. Anyone else who has a Mac notice that the Hit The Lights cd doesn't rip to the computer with a Mac? I had to use my friends PC and send it to myself just to get it in itunes.

[yourxrays]

1. Built To Spill
2. Moneen
3. Rookie Of The Year
4. Hit The Lights
5. Punchline
6. Saves The Day (And they're one of my favorite bands of all time.)

[Scott Irvine]

Built to Spill's You in Reverse is DEFINATELY worth the money.

[leftstranded]

No, it has no copy protection on it. I easily ripped it witout any trouble at all.

I wander if there are a few that have protection on it. For some reason my comp doesn't wanna read the disk, yet it will read the moneen disk easily


Also i went to 4 different stores today and couldn't find the punchline cd anywhere. I HATE KENT!!!!

[trojanso9]

Hudson EP came out today. Go buy it on Smartpunk!!!


www.myspace.com/hudson

[Mitch]

bought moneen, std, and punchline.

[ThatGuy]

i bought hit the lights on itunes today. that's another absolutepunk exclusive that made me buy the cd i probably normally wouldn't (cartel being the other, I was buying the fold regardless)

and i bought moneen today only because i liked what i heard and b/c it was six bucks at best buy. for me it was worth the gamble. so far its sounding like it is. i also got just one of the guys at best buy for 10 bucks. that movie rules.

[Patrocl]

Saves the Day-Sound the Alarm.

[TheGoodnightMoon]

Rookie of the Year and Saves The Day for me. Saves The Day is pretty good, and of course Rookie of the Year is flawless. I don't see it budging from my number one for quite some time.

[marchfaster]

i've been listening to new saves the day for about a month now and i really liked the cd.
moneen bores me...their songs tend to drag.
otherwise i dont think anything that good came out.

[.mattie.]

I got the saves the day and moneen.

Saves The Day first of all is my favorite band of all time. The new album is Stay What you Are good. I like it alot uhh it probably wont last as long as the others.

moneen - fucking brillant. I dont know if its the free health care or what but canada has four creative genius's in moneen.

[Burning Star IV]

i picked up the red tree and sound the alarm, as well as that death cab for cutie dvd. i would've bought hit the lights but alas, 'twas not there. plus the red tree was dirt cheap, a mere $9.99 canadian. i don't know the conversion for american currency right off the top of my head, but either way, it was still dirt cheap.

[Jerm]

moneen (cant beat 5.99 for such an awesome cd!!!), saves the day, rookie of the year, punchline... all great albums happy with all my purchases

[robsmith]

i went to buy the new saves the day today and it was $11.99 at best buy, i heard it was meant to be $8.99? so i said fuck that shit and left...

ahah, you cheap bastard

[leftstranded]

if anyone is having a problem loading the new hit the lights album onto the computer i have a solution. It does require a stand alone cd burner, but burn it onto a cd and it should work fine. damn tricky cds

[Mathus]

Saves the Day was ok, but still a step up from their last one. Hit the Lights' album is awesome. I still think I'm going to be spinning the new Morrissey a lot more though.

[shannomu]

saves the day - amazing. duh.
punchline - preordered it but didn't get it yet. damnit. and i'm going to see them tomorrow.

i don't see the fascination with moneen. =\

[Tony]

Built to Spill's You in Reverse is DEFINATELY worth the money.
so is a dictionary (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=definately).

[drummerdan182]

the angels and airwaves albums just been leaked,.. I think its brilliant!!! Tom Delonge hyped it up loads and I think he has nailed it!!

also the hit the lights album is brill!

they are what i listened to today!

[buttonsforeyes]

i absolutly hate the way chris sings now

[derricklc22]

Saves the Day - Great, not as good as Stay What You Are

Punchline - Catchy, good pop punk, a fun album

Hit the Lights - What FOB should've one with FUCT(although I liked FUCT, just wasnt a TTTYG)

JOSH RITTER - ANIMAL YEARS ...........yet to buy it, but the ecard has the whole album, beats all the albums above me, one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. "Thin Blue Flame" is one of the most beautiful songs ever.

[.KillMoneen.]

The new moneen cd gives me chills, this IS AMAZING!!! I feel bad for anyone who hasnt heard these guys yet!! best yet is im seeing them twice!!! In utah and in calgary, the new saves the day is amazing also

[PlusDanny]

So far- Saves the Day, Moneen, and Josh Ritter. Couldn't find Birdmonster, I'm waiting to get Hit the Lights Friday at the concert, and I'll go for Punchline if I keep hearing good reviews as soon as I've been able to get through these and see if they connect with me. I know Animal Years will.

[Homesick]

my HTL preorder came earlier today, t shirt and a cd for like 13 bucks, can't beat that.

[duffe]

i pre-ordered moneen and saves the day and they didn't get here. grrrrrrrrrrr
Same for me.

[ReturningSunday]

i went to buy the new saves the day today and it was $11.99 at best buy, i heard it was meant to be $8.99? so i said fuck that shit and left...

dude even if it was $11.99, that's only 3 dollars more and I promise you it is more than worth it. Plus 11.99 for a cd is still pretty fuckin' cheap

[RememberFminus]

it sucks being fucking poor.

[Chriz2z]

I need to get STD, Moneen, and HTL... but I've have baseball all this week, so I can't get out until Friday. I'm refraining from listening to any of their stuff, in order for it all to be amazing when I buy it.

[duffe]

the angels and airwaves albums just been leaked,.. I think its brilliant!!! Tom Delonge hyped it up loads and I think he has nailed it!!

Tutututututut, bant.

[shannomu]

i absolutly hate the way chris sings now

Yeah .. it's not the best it's ever been.
It's pretty obnoxious and not necessarily in a good way.
But eh, it's Save the Day, I have to love it.

[Chriz2z]

I forgot Punchline... I got to pick that up too.

[tedE]

dude even if it was $11.99, that's only 3 dollars more and I promise you it is more than worth it. Plus 11.99 for a cd is still pretty fuckin' cheap

No its not. You've just been tricked into thinking it is because you're used to the overinflated prices of 13.99-15.99 the RIAA has been sued for charging. Anything over $9.99 isn't considered 'cheap' in my opinion.

[ActorInThisPlay]

I picked up Punchline and Moneen at Best Buy. They didn't have Rookie of the Year and my preorder for Saves the Day still hasn't come yet. Screw pre-ordering.

[IAmAmazing]

I need to get STD, Moneen, and HTL... but I've have baseball all this week, so I can't get out until Friday. I'm refraining from listening to any of their stuff, in order for it all to be amazing when I buy it.

i do that all the time
Im getting Punchline and Rookie on sunday
i hate FBR but i really like Punchline...so yeah

[BlinkNFG15]

Set Your Goals great ep even though it is just a repack of their demos it is still awesome

[nachoabalaffa]

i went to buy the new saves the day today and it was $11.99 at best buy, i heard it was meant to be $8.99? so i said fuck that shit and left...

the first day a cd comes out, best buy always makes it really cheap but they never advertise that price. they advertise the normal price, and give the cheaper one when you actually check out.

btw, you messed up big time by turning your back on std.

joe.

[vandalroyale]

Joe Wilson was an amazing pick up-- I was in a shitty mood today and his acoustic stuff really made my day better. Check him out if you havent.

[slickwataris]

I will be buying the new Mono cd tomorrow only if Tower records has it. Best Buy isn't scene enough to carry it.

[The Revisionist]

I was thinking about buying God Shuffled His Feet from Crash Test Dummies... does anybody have this? How is it?

[Garett Press]

What's with all the STD hate. I fuckin loveee that record... been listening to that non stop, and I think Chris' vocals are perfect. It's a dismal masterpiece. Just anger, neurosis, and self-loathing.... mmm mmm.

[giulesthepengui]

i went to buy the new saves the day today and it was $11.99 at best buy, i heard it was meant to be $8.99? so i said fuck that shit and left...

haha its only three bucks but i'm exactly the same way

[Sal]

how much was HTL at best buy?

i got 10 bucks to waste today....and its between STD and HTL

[locuomotion]

HTL meets all my expectations

[MeltawayMints]

loving the new punchline - how do the demos compare, i didnt want to listen to them til i got the full album (anyone who has them hit me up on aim)

[costello.]

all i managed to find today was the deathcab dvd...
which is absolutely amazing, so i guess i can bear to wait until tomorrow for rookie of the year and moneen.

[The Revisionist]

I am amazed at the amount of people too lazy to TYPE "Saves the Day" and "Hit the Lights".

[RememberFminus]

to even mention joe wilson in the same breath as Bright eyes is the most ridiculous thing ever. Joe wilsons lyrics are more laughable than dashboards

[Brett9]

Saves the Day - fantastic. Not their best work, but still - DEFINTELY worth the money. Buy this FIRST.
Hit the Lights - bought this CD basically just to support them...they're good guys - I'm actually more impressed than I was anticipating. Not groundbreaking stuff, but damn is it fun.
Moneen - I got to Best Buy @ 10:00 this morning (when they opened) but couldn't find this CD, and had to leave for class ASAP...so I'll pick it up tomorrow. Hearing a lot of good stuff about it, so I'll succumb to the hype.

[zbrmike79]

i got Moneen and Hit the Lights.. i really like both.. moneen definitly being the better of the two..

[murphy77]

so heres what happend and pissed me off so bad i wanted to poop in his face:

saves the day came out today and its fuckin 4 pm and boarders doesnt even have it out. i ask the guy to help find it for me after looking for a while and he cant find it, he looks in the back room and sees new releases but is too lazy to open the box and makes me come back tmw.

[LulaDivinia]

saves the day, i dig it, but it may need to grow on me quite a bit to be up there with the rest of their albums.

[b-money]

I bought Saves the Day. I really like it. On the drive home we listened to it and my friend didn't like the vocals but I liked them.

And I am WAY excited for Moneen. Best Buy didn't have it out so I'm going to go back for it tomorrow.

[holdontightly]

im scared to go to best buy for moneen. EVERY damn time i go there they dont have cds out. they will advertise it, but u go there on a tuesday and it wont even be out. fuck best buy.

[Scuba Chris]

To all the people who said they download music and don't have the money. Fuck that. The downloaders are ruining the music industry but we all knew that. And to the people that don't have money. Neither do I. But I made a decision that instead of going out on Friday night and spending 20 bucks on beers I am going to spend 4 or 5 bucks on some food and chill with my friends and play board games. That cleared 15 bucks to spend on music.
So I picked up HTL and Moneen. My sister ordered STD for me for my bday.

So my thoughts.

STD- Very good. Nothing mind blowing but definitely a very solid album throughout. I couldn't find any filler tracks, however, I didn't really find any stand out tracks. 7.5/10

HTL- Exactly what I was expecting (of course I have been listening via the Leak) so I had already solidified my opinion. Although the bass on the CD is heavier than I thought. But I enjoy that so I can blast it from my car's system. Nothing groundbreaking here, just very solid pop-punk. Great driving CD. 7/10

Moneen- Saved these guys for last. Now I have a couple things to preface here:
1) I only really listened to 2 or 3 tracks from them off their last album and wasn't too impressed.
2) Basically the only reason I picked it up was because it was 5.99 at Best Buy.
Now that being said.... Holy Crap, is this CD good. I am only 6 tracks in currently and am already blown away. It is so good that I had to come drop in here halfway through the CD to talk about it. The guitar work is excellent and the vocals fit excellently into the music. Haven't read the lyrics yet but will get to that. So, I haven't heard the full CD or read the lyrics but this album definitely has top 10 for the year all over it. I will see how the whole CD stands the test of replayability but right now A+ to Moneen: 9/10

[LPMagic]

I went to Best Buy to pick up the new Death Cab DVD and walked out of the store with something extra - Moneen was only $5.99!

- Jeff

[zizou1790]

punchline was a great great buy

[Veritas11]

Saves The Day- Still better than most bands entire back catalogs
Punchline- Have not heard one bad thing about this album
Moneen-Great band, great album

[zizou1790]

i really really hope punchline does really well

[this-hour-drive]

I just about bought the new punchline cd off of itunes about an hour and a half ago. I must say I'm very impressed, its a great cd. I was also a fan of most of the action cd. A couple of the songs off of action didn't catch my ears, but this cd I'm already on the second time playing it. I'm really enjoying this cd. I miss Paul's back up vocals, but I think Greg definitly does a good job and definitly filled that space Paul left behind.

[Nate_RAWKS]

The Saves The Day cd is my favorite cd of the year right now...well, that's hard to say Anathallo is but it depends what kind of mood i'm in, really...

[RememberFminus]

To all the people who said they download music and don't have the money. Fuck that. The downloaders are ruining the music industry but we all knew that. And to the people that don't have money. Neither do I. But I made a decision that instead of going out on Friday night and spending 20 bucks on beers I am going to spend 4 or 5 bucks on some food and chill with my friends and play board games. That cleared 15 bucks to spend on music.
So I picked up HTL and Moneen. My sister ordered STD for me for my bday.


some of us dont have 20 dollars to spend on drinks
or cds
some of us pay bills.


this year is going to rape my bank account

[surfwaxsideshow]

The Saves the Day album absolutely blows. Eulogy is the only good song, like two others are listenable.

[JoshIsArealBoy]

Moneen makes me scream, " HOLY SHIT! OH BOB SAGET!!" Love it

[Scuba Chris]

some of us dont have 20 dollars to spend on drinks
or cds
some of us pay bills.


this year is going to rape my bank account


don't get me started on paying bills. I am sure I have just as many if not more expenses as you.

[Katie Schmitz]

saves the day rocks

[richtiemann]

Saves The Day and Moneen. Both REALLY good. Only drawback...having some trouble getting Moneen to load into iTunes so I can put it on my iPod. Anyone else experiencing this?

[Sureshot182]

i got hit the lights today, i've been listening to it for awhile now though. it is completely awesome. get it. i am getting saves the day and moneen thursday at best buy, woot!

[airguitar1982]

i got my hit the lights preorder yesterday, though, i was very disappointed for the fact that i didn't get a shirt. whoever got one, how does it look? anyway the cd is so dam catchy. probably one of the best pop punk albums i've heard in a really long time.

[yeknom]

Only Moneen, Calexico, and possibly built to spill are worth buying

[yeknom]

don't get me started on paying bills. I am sure I have just as many if not more expenses as you.
I'd rather spend money on beer for me than money so people in bands can buy beer.

[PlaCracktheSky]

Today I bought

Saves the Day - Sound the Alarm
It is a lot better than I was expecting. I love the vocals althought Ive been hearing that a lot of you are put off by them.
Moneen - The Red Tree - Ive only listened to two songs so far and I am impressed. Unlike all of you I paid 11.99 for it at my local cd shop to support it. Best Buy is killing it

I also bought
Josh Ritter - The Animal Years
Although this didnt come out today ... AMAZING

What a great day!!

[xburningcoffin]

SAVES the f***ing DAY owns every band on the planet...the oral history in AP is pretty interesting I didn't realize how much they went thru to make records especially stay what you are...they have no idea how incredible they really are .....the new album is definitely their second best album and on the rise for me every song on the album is just straight out noteworthy........i bought the moneen cd and saves the day together for 15$ at FYE ...as long as you buy them together

[juan_believes]

i bought saves the day and the death cab dvd.
i havent seen the dvd, but

the new saves the day album is better than french fries. even the curly ones.
its that good.

[TheWordsmith]

the new moneen is really impressive

[Nate_RAWKS]

What's with all the STD hate. I fuckin loveee that record... been listening to that non stop, and I think Chris' vocals are perfect. It's a dismal masterpiece. Just anger, neurosis, and self-loathing.... mmm mmm.


I couldn't agree with you more....

you're the best
:thumbsup:

:love:



the new saves the day album is better than french fries. even the curly ones.
its that good.


haha it is that good and i fuckin' love french fries.

like love.

[Tmovielife16]

I bought
Saves the day and Moneen of course,
Royden EP which is really good, its great to finally buy it
Folly which is really awesome, i had to buy it it is really good
and The Fold been meaning to get it for a while

i also had like 5 more cds in my pile buy i didn't have that much money


i wonder where the STD and Moneen cds will be on the billboard charts, it seems like everyone on here has bought both of them and i know a lot more will as well, im hoping theydo really well

[comeonletgo]

i bought punchline and hit the lights, both i think are solid releases from what i've heard so far. punchline played an impressive show tonight at the knitting factory in nyc, i thought they outdid every other band that played by far (new atlantic, valencia, cute is what we aim for) although i am a fan of all the other bands as well. their vocals were just amazing and they seemed so excited to be there, lots of energy and a really tight set. i will most likely pick up saves the day later this week..

[gengen]

today i bought:

saves the day - sound the alarm (shawiiiiiiing)
.moneen. - the red tree (will listen to it tomorrow)
punchline - 37 everywhere (7 out of 10. i really miss the dueling vocals)
the new amsterdams - story like a scar (will listen to it tomorrow)
cartel - chroma (i listen to this cd so much, i shouldve bought it a long time ago)

[andrewlterry]

I'm having a hard time finding Rookie of the Year. I'm ganna have to make the long drive to an indie shop.

[chokeychicken]

so heres what happend and pissed me off so bad i wanted to poop in his face:

saves the day came out today and its fuckin 4 pm and boarders doesnt even have it out. i ask the guy to help find it for me after looking for a while and he cant find it, he looks in the back room and sees new releases but is too lazy to open the box and makes me come back tmw.

that's what you get for cd shopping at borders.

[Acepunk333]

i got saves the days new cd, its ok, it nothing compared to there old stuff but i dig it

i also got atreyu new cd, its pretty good, once again still not as good as there first cd but its not bad

im just waiting for thursday cd to come out, i saw them in new jeresy a few months ago and they played some new songs and they were good.

[SoCoSquid4]

rookie of the year OWNS. saves the day's new one is amazing too...classic STD album. and i have heard nothing about good about moneen, so im probably gonna pick it up cheap at best buy later thsi week.

[Ibanezgsr200]

saves the day is great, and for only 7.98 at bestbuy way worth it. they sold out of moneen tho, have to pick that up later this week.

[apoemtothedead]

Set Your Goals!!

[vanssocalsk8er]

I went to Best Buy and they did not carry the new Hit the Lights, even though the website said they did. Best Buy is starting to go downhill in my book, not to mention I couldn't find Ocean Avenue either (I've started playing violin, so I could play along).

[sharpenup]

I couldnt buy anything because I had to work and by the time I was done everywhere was closed...
Im probably going to pick up saves the day and hit the lights. im listening to punchline to see if i want to buy it... so far i like it but ive only listened to 2 songs.

I just got paid the other day [yay for first paycheck ever in my life!] so I can afford all of these at one time! Yay I love working.

[Suchasucker]

i was very disappointed for the fact that i didn't get a shirt. whoever got one, how does it look?
It's a black shirt with white print in case it's hard to tell.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/beachxfront/DO%20NOT%20DELETE/resizedhtl.jpg


Back on topic, I obviously bought Hit the Lights and love it. Doubt it will leave my CD player for the next month.

[fightfightfight]

i got mono's newest album-you are there. it is wonderful

[Gleebo]

Seriously, 8 pages of replies and not one for Toby Keith....




Thank god.


I didn't get off of work until after Best Buy and the local record stores were closed. They did have it at Wal-Mart though when I stopped for some grocieries but I didn't buy it because I didn't know for sure if it was edited on any songs(they seem to actually be calling this process AMENDED now for some reason) because of lyrics. I would have loved to bought it just to support STD in the major market level but I didn't wanna risk it in case it was edited.

Id rather support a local record store and wait an extra day.

So basically Moneen is the general consensus for album of the year on AP so far?? Haven't really heard anything less than "its a good album" so far.

[_all_star_me_]

No, it has no copy protection on it. I easily ripped it witout any trouble at all.

it didnt read on my mac. but worked on my mates pc. i had the same problem with the new sounds record.

[_all_star_me_]

i bought moneen, std, new death cab dvd, and htl. they are all fantastic records. the new moneen is light years above their past efforts.

i really would like to pick up the new punchline and rookie of the year. i picked up jettie but that was released last year. $60 well spent.

[_all_star_me_]

The new Saves The Day album is RAD.

Other than that, I haven't checked out anything else yet.. Most of the new releases are bands I don't really listen to..

I was thinking about getting the new Punchline album, though.. I saw those guys in concert when they we're touring with Bayside, and they were pretty alright.. So I might make them my next choice.

how is the new Pretty Girls Make Graves? I have $100 in Best Buy money left over from Christmas, and I am going to have a party this weekend when I come home for Easter and finally have a car to drive to best buy. so much new music for me

[CWeezer]

punchline...amazing as always.

You'd expect this from a punknews kiddie, but the Ryan's Hope CD is pretty sweet. Not quite as good as the review made it sound, but defintely worth your money.

Hit The Lights< Save The Day < Punchline < Josh Ritter

All were excellent though, don't get me wrong.

Back on topic, I obviously bought Hit the Lights and love it. Doubt it will leave my CD player for the next month.


dude, i'm so frigging jealous. but in the end, it's my fault for waiting two weeks to preorder the cd.

[ishotthepilot]

preordered Punchline, STD and Moneen... from the sounds of it i should check out Rookie of the Year?

the sound of this Punchline disc is SO welcome. i dont miss paul at all, if i do i can go listen to Action.
that preorder came 4 days ahead of time, my std/moneen orders are STILL not here. damn you FYE.

but anyone having trouble with stuff not ripping, try pressing the 'Shift' key for like 5-10 secs right after you put the cd in the comp, for some reason that overrides whatever blocks you from ripping it.

[TheBaroness]

preordered a whole bunch of stuff but the only thing that arrived this week was Saves the Day...

Wow! this album is fucking awesome! so dark and depraved, and the perfect soundtrack for that early-20's "what the fuck am i going to do with my life/who am i and what is this world?" kind of anxiety i've been feeling lately.
