The year in pop punk so far

[racethesun]

1.Hit The Lights- This is a stick up.. dont make it a murder
2. Punchline- 37 everywhere
3. Run Kid Run- This is who we are
4.Transition- Get there
5. Saves The Day- Sound The Alarm



it will most likely change once ciwwaf comes out as well as the new tsl. this is what has impressed me. run kid run really grew on me. saves the day was very medicore, i thought hit the lights was wicked, transition was very fun, punchline was great.

[fedhed7]

Punchline was the only one I liked, I think.

1. rookie of the year

+ southcott - flee the scene

Is that considered pop-punk? If it is, it's number one for me.

[fedhed7]

+ southcott - flee the scene
Oh yeah. Haha.

[motivatedchange]

Hit the Lights is decent, but never really grasped my attention the way I thought it would.

I haven't really been overly impressed by any pop release so far this year. But what I heard of the new Dropping Daylight record when I saw them a couple times last weekend makes me already say it's going to be my record of the year.

[A000lex]

I don't think ROTY is pop-punk. It's one of my favorite albums this year though.

I'd put Southcott at number one.

[mcfly21]

punchline is definently the best so far

no contest

[hobbes2809]

punchline is definently the best so far

no contest

punchline is really good, but I dont think its the best so far :shrugs:

[ActorInThisPlay]

Punchline and STD are great...

[bossman calling]

1. The Loved Ones - Keep Your Heart

there are no other good pop punk records to come out this year, not even saves the day

[boldt_action]

transition and run kid run are both great.

[nivek87]

punchline has been the best so far

[SickOfStars]

1. The Loved Ones - Keep Your Heart

there are no other good pop punk records to come out this year, not even saves the day

While I did like Saves The Day, there's no doubt in my mind that the loved ones is indeed the best poppunk record of the year so far... unless of course we're counting The Larry Arms' new release as pop-punk.

[zizou1790]

Punchline was the only one I liked, I think.

same i loved 37 everywhere

Transition isnt pop/punk but i did enjoy and HTL was ok

[zizou1790]

1. The Loved Ones - Keep Your Heart

have you listend to 37 everywhere??

[bossman calling]

we are not counting the larry arms as pop punk, even if they did put out a stellar record

and no ive never heard of 37 anywhere

[zizou1790]

well it is the title of Punchline's pop/punk masterpiece i highly reccomend you check that out

[kg00d]

Some noteables for me include:

Punchline - 37 Everywhere
Run Kid Run - This is who you are
Southcott - Flee the scene
Transition - Get there
Hit The Lights - This is a stickup...not a murder
Crash Romeo - Minutes to miles
Brightwood - The love antidote ep
Permanent Me - Dear virginia ep

[fedhed7]

same i loved 37 everywhere

Transition isnt pop/punk but i did enjoy and HTL was okThen what is Transition?

[racethesun]

yah?

[CountMeOut923]

hit the lights completely stole me away from everything else

[zizou1790]

Then what is Transition?

idk maybe they are but i group them in the same category as i do The Ataris at the time of So, Long Astoria or Jimmy Eat World

i dont really knwo what to label that though

[GoWaitInTheCar]

If you consider Saves The Day, pop punk, which obviously a lot of you do, they win best pop punk album hands down so far.

Hit The Lights is the biggest NFG rip off ever, their style is out played, they are just a mess..

Also if you consider Rock Kills Kid Pop Punk, they've put out a good.

[SickOfStars]

Then Loved Ones wins!

[TheByrus]

Crash Romeo - Minutes to miles


there it is.


the only pop punk cd ive liked this year.

[tiny222]

Well I suck at genres.

[preppyak]

Forgive Durden is pretty good...but major releases so far (Punchline, HTL, etc) have all been overally weak to me.

The Sherwood EP is awesome, and the best stuff is yet to come really.

Dropping Daylight (excellent), new GAD (apparently amazing, even better than Volcano), Waking Ashland EP (is good too).

Then there is also the new Hush Sound, The Format, This Day and Age, etc...I think the summer will be when this year really picks up. And I think their is new New Found Glory in September

The fall will possibly also see new Acceptance (though it sounds like early 07), maybe some TAI...who knows.

+ southcott - flee the scene
this on the other hand, has not been forgettable

[preppyak]

Crash Romeo - Minutes to miles
I haven't heard it yet, but I know I need to.


Hit The Lights is the biggest NFG rip off ever, their style is out played, they are just a mess..

yeah, the album becomes quickly forgettable

I generally second all of that.
Especially Dropping Daylight... I know I said this earlier, but that record is absolutely amazing.

lol the words "punchline" and "masterpiece" do not belong in the same sentence.

[YouAreTheDishes]

even though its a tad generic... I really enjoy the October Fall cd... its just fun to listen to

[mcfly21]

lol the words "punchline" and "masterpiece" do not belong in the same sentence.

i definently do

[Dirty Ernie]

i'm surprised no one has argued the case for louder now

[fedhed7]

It's not really pop-punk. Pop-punk is like New Found Glory/Punchline/Hit the Lights... snotty, fast paced, catchy, and a little poppier than actual punk. I'd put Taking Back Sunday in the rock category.

[preppyak]

i'm surprised no one has argued the case for louder now
yeah, it belongs on that list...it's a fairly solid release, but it suffers the same plague that alot of pop-punk releases in the last year have...they've been forgettable.

Honestly, I always skipped My Blue Heaven, but now I only really listen to the opening 3-4 songs and maybe another here and there.

Top 5 so far...maybe, but probably not

Yeah, I can see that, but if we put GAD, etc into this category, we also should probably put TBS in as well, because they have a very similiar formula as the pop-punk bands

[FinchBulldog2]

Saves Tge Day is the best pop punk album so far.

[preppyak]

Saves Tge Day is the best pop punk album so far.
That's been officially released...maybe. But of the stuff that has leaked/been heard, it might not even be top 5.

GAD, Dropping Daylight, and Sherwood are all better than it to me so far...and The Format may be (dunno, haven't heard it yet),

[kg00d]

GAD is not pop punk imo at all

well i just don't really like them/forgive durden

yah i said it.

[mcfly21]

what about the classic crime? comes out on tuesday

anyone gonna pick it up?

[BreakerBreaker]

Has anybody heard the new Set Your Goals EP?

[nivek87]

the year in pop punk is being pwnd by the format.

this album is getting better and better each listen

[nivek87]

Saves Tge Day is the best pop punk album so far.

its def up there, but not the best

so far...yep

Though, I think it's going to have a rough go with all the albums over the summer.

I know Dropping Daylight is up there with it...and the new GAD, to me, will probably be better

ya, i should have re-worded that. we arent even half way through the year and there is so much more promising releases

[kshtoinks12]
