Just Surrender - We're In Like Sin

[Blake Solomon]

Just Surrender – We’re In Like Sin
Record Label: Broken English Records
Release Date: August 21, 2007

I never much fancied being a historian. Their paintings of the past feature drab colors and vigorous attention to detail. I’d much rather add a little neon green here, a white lie over there, a few dabs of embellishment. And I’m willing to bet there are others out in Tubeland that do the same thing, especially when it comes to music. The first release you hear from a band, well, what a magical time. The hooks click, the lyrics have “like so much” weight with our current lives, and we use the “L” word. All of these things describe how I felt about the pop-punk of 2005’s If These Streets Could Talk. Pshh, no way We’re In Like Sin will overtake such a valiant and teenybopper throne!

Here's where I trash We’re in Like Sin. It’s time to throw the (thesaurus) book at Just Surrender. Nope. Not this time. I enjoy We’re in Like Sin for being itself, for not leaping too many steps at once. I’ve seen a fair amount of criticism for this release (and it’s artwork), but try as I may to move on, I can’t. The dual vocals and booming choruses I prized a few years ago are back and better. Though not necessarily bigger, and far from innovative, We’re In Like Sin is a worthy follow-up.

Just Surrender might not have another “Tell Me Everything” in them, but opener, “Body Language And Bad Habits,” is a gauge of where the band has been. Catchy and wonderfully angsty, Jason Maffucci and Dan Simons didn’t mess with their biggest selling point. The two trade lyrical passages and finally break bread together in each chorus. Showing a little maturity in the songwriting department, “So Close / So Alive” features a female-backed chorus and dainty bridge. The song punches the listeners’ gut, only to massage their sore belly seconds later.

“I Said It Before” begins much like a song on their previous album (“She Broke My Heart So I Broke His Jaw”), but this new track is more realized and less cheesy. Just Surrender haven’t strayed from their gritty LI influences, rather We’re In Like Sin is a necessary stylistic update. Top of their list was obviously song differentiation, as seen in the punk-pop title track and slightly electronica (complete with a descending, hair-metal guitar solo) “Something That I’m Not.” Other than “I Said It Before,” Just Surrender rarely retrace their steps. The old path is still in sight, but a few detours (uplifting “I’ll Be Here”) give We’re In Like Sin a stand-alone quality.

In the distant future, after removing my bifocals and sweater-vest, I will still be listening to We’re In Like Sin. Doubtful, but the future should be just as optimistic as the past. Whenever I get a little depressed over my (already) receding hairline, Just Surrender might be my musical dose of Zoloft. I can more than handle the side-effects: embarrassing my twins (Alicia and King), damaging my ear canals, and having a darn good time.

mmm This Time Next Year. I'm really excited about this release, I haven't given it a listen yet.

I have to say that this is one of your best reviews yet. I might disagree, but it's still a great review. Props.

Drop the overall score about 25 points and you've got it right.

Ugh. This was so disappointing.

shoot, it sure would have been cool if someone put all their thoughts about this album down on paper.

[Chris Fallon]

This review earns a fat score of 10 outta 10! I fucking loved it!

As for this record ... it's still growing on me. Not as good as If These Streets Could Talk, but I am very open-minded with music and give things time. Even if I hadn't heard it yet ... this reivew is gold, my man, GOLD -- and would have shown me the way to this disc.

[symbiote28]

i m dissapointed with it at first listen but i guess im going along well with it now ...

[4N6 science]

i liked if these streets could talk...so I'll buy this album too. not my favorite band but i always like to give their stuff a spin when Im in a certain mood.

[Heroin Robot]

not as good as the first...with the exception of a couple songs i was pretty sad about this release.

[imtimwhoareyou]

shoot, it sure would have been cool if someone put all their thoughts about this album down on paper.

Hahaha... Good point though.. Well, if it's any consolation, I do have regard for your opinions here.

[OveriseFan]

Haven't listened to this band much since they've changed their name...

I should.

[Nerodrumpsycho]

that was a good review

[Mitch]

Their last album was surprisingly good for what it was, but this album is just bad imo.

[dpatrickguy]

i like 4 songs off if these streets could talk, but i like this a lot more as a whole. some of these songs are what taking back sunday could be doing

[doyoulikecoffee]

album rules

[Blake Solomon]

Haven't listened to this band much since they've changed their name...

I should.



I started listening once they changed their name, lolol. There are some excellent strongs spread throughout both of JS's releases. Def. worth checking out.

[matt_rawlings]

Brilliantly written review. That being said, I strongly disagree with the scoring...

[matt_rawlings]

So Blake....gonna review the ap.net comp?

[leftstranded]

Haven't listened to this band much since they've changed their name...

I should.
yea. it took their first album for me to even realize it was the same band

but still fun to listen to every now and again

[Snails]

Really great review man.

[Steve Henderson]

I love Blake's writing. Irreverence ftw!

I don't even know what that means!

i appreciate it, sir.

I can't take all the credit, my editor is a unicorn with magical powers.

no way jose, I don't want to be "that guy" to ruin the sweet vibes emanating from the comp. Incidentally, your song just came on.

[Nametekken]

good review.. it gives me encouragement that i still might like this since it seems like most people were really disappointed.

[thispostscript]

i'm honestly in shock alot of people are disappointed...this record has a taste of if these streets could talk mixed in with a more matured sound... it almost seems like kids these says are only stoked if a band releases the same exact record.

[zafran27]

cd is godly

[secondsunrise]

:thumbdwn:

Now kids...JUST because Jason thinks this album is a thumbs down...doesn't mean you should not check it out. Some of you weigh his opinion so much higher than anyone elses and I really don't understand it.

Man, talk about condecending.

And of course people should check it out ... wait for an album stream or something ... cause you're gonna be pissed if you waste your money on this.

[bluemach1]

um yeah about that... i totally disagree with that comment above me, its deff worth the money

[Jason Tate]

um yeah about that... i totally disagree with that comment above me, its deff worth the money
Oh, I see what you were doing, you meant "deaf" -- yeah, I agree, if you can't hear - by all means waste your cash on this generic trash.

[matt_rawlings]

no way jose, I don't want to be "that guy" to ruin the sweet vibes emanating from the comp. Incidentally, your song just came on.



Hmmmmm I'd be super interested in hearing what you think of the comp as a whole.............................. ........................and my track

[thispostscript]

dude why are you hating so much on a band who is just making music and trying to do their thing? "generic trash"? thats weak.

[thispostscript]

Oh, I see what you were doing, you meant "deaf" -- yeah, I agree, if you can't hear - by all means waste your cash on this generic trash.

tate your hypocrtical and condescending as well....some dude just leaves his opinion on the site, not talking shit at all, something that you always push on the site and you comeback and try to outdo him.

[Bruycker]

and still it gets more then As Cities Burn and less then Family Force 5 :-|

tate your hypocrtical and condescending as well....some dude just leaves his opinion on the site, not talking shit at all, something that you always push on the site and you comeback and try to outdo him.
Yeah, that's cause this is a forum ... you know ... where people talk/respond/post back and forth.

[doyoulikecoffee]

generic trash.this is almost laughable based on the bands you jock.

[Jason Tate]

Oh, yeah? Love to hear more. Nothing better than the age old "I'll make fun of a band you like to defend my taste" card. Keep it up ... at the end of the day ... you're still listening to Just Surrender.

[thispostscript]

Yeah, that's cause this is a forum ... you know ... where people talk/respond/post back and forth.

yea dude i know what it is...i'm just speaking on times where i've seen some kid write "this cd sucks" or something of that sort and you or a AP member fire back saying they shouldn't respond if it's not something intelligent or with proper backing.

[Louie D]

This cd is a great sophmore release! I could see this album going more mainstream. Jason Tate can have his oppinion, but not everyone has to agree. Take a listen on their myspace page. If the two songs off the album arent for you then dont buy it.

[Jason Tate]

yea dude i know what it is...i'm just speaking on times where i've seen some kid write "this cd sucks" or something of that sort and you or a AP member fire back saying they shouldn't respond if it's not something intelligent or with proper backing.
Difference is I'm intelligent and have proper backing.

yea man i guess your right, you're amazing!

How did you manage to use two different forms of "you're," for the same phrase, in the same sentence - only one word apart?

Not my cup of tea.

I forgot Jason, that you are the smartest man in the world. Guiness should get ready to change the record for the 2008 edition when it hits shelves.

i meant definitely ******, and just surrender is a good band, if u dont like it then oh well , i dont care im just saying dont make a big fuckin deal about it no one cares...asshole

[Drew Beringer]

The first half is good, the second half is bad. It's like the scene in American Pie where Jim blows his load early.

[Burnout2888]

This album is so generic and bland. Cannot stand it.

[Blake Solomon]

things got semi-heated in here. Let me try and explain a little further why I like this one:

The first release was solid pop-punk, but the songs tended to run on and blend together. Though, about half of the songs were worth their wait in silver. The replay valule of If These Streets is very low. I don't listen to it regularly.

This album feels a bit more grown-up and diverse. Some songs are definite misses, and this by no means received a perfect score, but I like the chances taken. The energy in the vocals is still the main draw and the guitars will occasionally "shred."

This isn't going to be an album for everyone, but I think if this was Just Surrender's first release, I would still dig it.

with all due respect, after saying the dude above you was condescending, you shouldnt tell people they're gonna be pissed if they're waste their money on this. it's basically telling people it's shit and if you buy it you're a dumbass.

[Tony Pascarella]

Blake, I love you dude, but I'm going to have to disagree, although most of this is meant for the people calling this pile of trash "great". Just using your quotes because you said it in a way the rest of the world can comprehend. :-)The first release was solid pop-punk, but the songs tended to run on and blend together. Though, about half of the songs were worth their wait in silver. The replay valule of If These Streets is very low. I don't listen to it regularly.Well, not yet. I agree here. The debut was actually not bad. I'd replay it a little more if I could find my copy. Haha.

The energy in the vocals is still the main draw and the guitars will occasionally "shred."The energy in the vocals? John Naclerio destroyed the vocals for this band. They were never amazing, but...ugh. Very, very disappointed.
This isn't going to be an album for everyone, but I think if this was Just Surrender's first release, I would still dig it.I almost never hate an album after two listens, mainly because I haven't fully digested it yet. But I did, and I've given it a bunch more chances. This album is weak sauce. It's overproduced in the wrong places, focuses on the bands' weaknesses (poor lyrics and average vocals) instead of their strengths (guitars), and just doesn't sit well with me. I don't mind generic pop-punk as much as the next guy, but if you're going to be generic, don't be boring (there is a difference). Give me something to get hooked on. We're In Like Sin is a drink coaster if I ever saw one.

...but hey, maybe expensive coasters are all the rage these days. :shrug:

Yeah, that was the message I was trying to get across.

[ManicanParty49]

I like this CD a lot. I'll catch a lot of shit for thinking this, but there are less songs on this CD that I skip over than on If These Streets Could Talk.

[TENCopeland]

Yeah, that was the message I was trying to get across.



so in your response to the other guy you encourage people to listen and make decisions for themselves, then tell everyone they're a dumbass if they buy this? riiiiiiiiighhhht...:hammer:

[TsLPunkRocker]

I really like what i've heard so far from the album. Lots of people hate the generic stuff, but if it is catchy and sounds good, then im all for it. Plus this band is great. They are cool guys and interact with fans afterwords, which makes it worth going to their shows. I preordered the album and can't wait for it next week...

And you obviously don't know how to read or type(or at least all the way, I mean honestly, how hard is it to type out "know" or "you"). I said, most people haven't liked this album, and that is true. Most of the people I've talked to who have heard this album didn't like it, and also there are people in this thread who have posted about their dislikes of the album. If I want to listen to the songs, I could. But I'm having patience, and waiting till the album is officially released.

the vocals on "I Said It Before" are pretty awesome methinks. But hey, you make valid points. This could have been a much stronger album, it's hit or miss. To me, its a little less hit or miss than the first one, which only had a few songs I ended up really loving. There was just something about it these past few days that kept me spinning it pretty much non-stop. Maybe its the fact that its short and doesn't take a whole lot of "effort" to enjoy. Sometimes I just need a record like that, but even as I listen to it now, I still find plenty of songs enjoyable.

I appreciate the thought and points you made here. I wish all review responses were like this: civilized, smart, fair. Everyone should take notes from Tony. Then again, I guess it is way easy to attack the owner of this site for his opinion.

[insertwithere]

i took us about 15 minutes to listen to this entire album cause we couldn't make it thru an entire song. sophmore slump i say.

Anonymous internet poster making stupid comments... :efu:

[afraidofmywords]

it lacks that hot fire over anxious energetic feeling similar to the same problems NFG/TBS/STD have encountered at times.. some records just need to capture the magic better .. no brainiac review is needed.. here, its just some risks a band took as far as their emphasis and message theyre trying to convey and its too early to tell if it will take or not

[Brett9]

This thread is hilarious.
:rotfl: I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw that...

Seriously though - I personally love this band, and I'm stoked for the album. Tate has every right to hate it if he wants. You draw fire as soon as you post an opinion, Tate...its hilarious.

But I still think I'm gonna like this album...I just love the band. It's a personal thing...that's music.

I have nothing against anyone showing their opinion, it's the great thing about this country...the review was well written, although i don't necessarily agree, to each is own....i was only chapped at the way i felt tate attacked the record on a young band just playing music and doing what they wanna do, just saying i think the record is nothing special or i don't dig it would have been fine, but calling it generic trash was weak.

[1000shadesofred]

totally not into the new cd... its only half as passionate vocally as their first cd, and the songs are just boring, very disappointing

[emkvetwin]

heh heh... love reading these threads. overreacting is fun to read when i'm bored...

songs i heard didn't do a lot for me.

Lots of people care about spelling mistakes - because they're fucking words - spell them right if you're going to use them. Doesn't matter if it's the internet or not.

And how am I a hypocrite this time?

album is a worthy follow up same ol just surrender with a twist theres only a few songs i was like wtf on but the rest is worthy of spending time in my ears!! gotta love jays voice and dans together and with a little slice of colins...bam!!

[Juneau_87]

*please dont hurt me* XD

[bluemach1]

i love the new cd and band :)

[jimboj917]

i've seen this band live and honestly, they are incredibly generic, incredibly predictable, and incredibly out-of-date. hate to say it, but if you like them, by all means, don't get in a music conversation with me.

does anynoe know if there will be a special or deluxe or extra tracks or special price any where?

[thisisrightnow]

You're fucking nuts if you don't think We're In Like Sin is a great album. I've watched those dudes progress since they were A Second Chance, and they have definitely come a long way. So everyone do yourself a favor and don't rely on the dumb reviews on this site to decide if you're going to check out an album or not. Chances are if you were a fan of If These Streets Could Talk, you will be a fan of this. Just don't go in with the attitude that you're not going to like it and/or it's going to suck.

So everyone do yourself a favor and don't rely on the dumb reviews on this site to decide if you're going to check out an album or not. Chances are if you were a fan of If These Streets Could Talk, you will be a fan of this. Just don't go in with the attitude that you're not going to like it and/or it's going to suck.


Hi, I wrote a positive review of this album. What did you think a post like this was going to accomplish?

How did you manage to use two different forms of "you're," for the same phrase, in the same sentence - only one word apart?


LOL!I actually enjoy a couple of songs on this album.

"something that im not" is a fantastic song.

I remember going to Warped Tour a few years back, I barely knew any of the bands. So I just randomly picked one, and it happened to be Just Surrender. One of the greatest ideas of my life. Love this CD.
