This Time Next Year (Official Thread)

[DaveZeroZero]

I've been a fan of these guys since not long after their first CD, A Place For You, came out and they do pop-punk the way that it should be done. Now, with their new EP, The Longest Way Home is out, I can't help but feel the same way (though the vocals on the single do sound a little auto-tuned).

Anyone else a fan?

ptC0A7gwDlM

[ThisIsNotDan]

Alex in Wonderland is so fuckin catchy

[wewascontenders]

i wouldn't say they do pop-punk the way it should be done, but i listen to these guys every now and then. sweetest air is a good song.

[funkel]

Based on that video, I can't tell what separates them from the rest of the popular modern pop-punk crowd. Catchy, sure, but... They do say "fuck", which I guess makes them kinda edgy.

[makeasound]

Probably the best "new" band in the NorCal scene at the moment.

[!?!]

i love these guys
the longest way home is a great ep

[lenard27]

Gah, I came here for The Movielife album.

[notoaststereo]

never listened, but awesome band name.

[Punkk_Bitchh]

I saw them in orangevale when they opened for Dance Gavin Dance,
I thought they were good,
Deffinatly shouldnt have been there cuz they were the only pop-punk band there,
And all the bro guys didnt like them.

They opened for DGD? That's absurd.

[wewascontenders]

aka daves mad he missed it.

[11:11]

they remind me a bit of Asteria. good stuff.

[irthesteve]

i like these guys, they're pretty sweeet

[Just An End]

I know these guys got signed to Equal Vision not too long ago.. any news on when they'll be releasing a full-length?

[DaveZeroZero]

I can't find anything about it yet, I'm afraid.

[Heart-A-Tact]

Great band.

[Colorblind!]

The band in your avatar>all these bubble gum pop bands.

haha.. Bangarang! is good shit.. Its a shame they broke up, but I don't think enough people on this site know about them

[Heart-A-Tact]

haha.. Bangarang! is good shit.. Its a shame they broke up, but I don't think enough people on this site know about them

Such a good fucking band. I hate that they broke up.

[Colorblind!]

They were fantastic.
I can't say the same for this band, although it's definitely not bad. It's catchy and stuff, just boring.

Err'body listen to Title Fight instead.

[TheByrus]

i like them because they remind me of the movielife

[Just An End]

when is this new album getting released? I figured we would have a date by now.. they said summer

[softhands]

Alex in Wonderland is a great song.

[more heart]

Such a great band. Stoked for the full-length.

[prefix-core]

Great band, but I saw them at Bamboozle and their live set left a bit to be desired. Their latest E.P. is ridiculously great, though! They remind me quite a bit of First to Leave and/or Fireworks.

[FullCollaspe]

They remind me more of the Movielife. That's probaly how they got their name.

[prefix-core]

They remind me more of the Movielife. That's probaly how they got their name.

I'm almost positive that it is. Haha. And they remind me a bit of the Movielife too. But vocally, they're definitely more like the bands I mentioned. At least that's how I hear it. Shrug.

[PPunk]

Great band, but I saw them at Bamboozle and their live set left a bit to be desired. Their latest E.P. is ridiculously great, though! They remind me quite a bit of First to Leave and/or Fireworks.

so they didn't sound good at bamboozle? have you heard their upcoming EP?

[prefix-core]

so they didn't sound good at bamboozle? have you heard their upcoming EP?

They sounded GREAT, but they seemed to lack energy to me. I just got kind of bored during their set. I haven't heard the upcoming E.P. I really enjoy everything they've released thus far, though...

[PPunk]

I have heard bits and pieces of their new EP and it sounds awesome. I don't know why they didn't get on Warped or some other good tours. I looked at their myspace and do not see anything past mid June - maybe the new EP will help in bringing them to the masses.

On the Yeah Management website - http://yeahmanagement.wordpress.com/ it says This Time Next year will be releasing their debut full length. “Road Maps and Heart Attacks,” produced by Brian McTernan (Circa Survive, The Movie Life, Senses Fail) on July 7, 2009 with Equal Vision Records. A 7″ / EP featuring 2 new tracks “New Sensation” and “Alex In Wonderland” will be out on May 24th.

So I guess we will hear new music- “New Sensation” on the 5/24!

[ThisIsNotDan]

I was just wondering when they were gonna release a new album. love this band

[FueledByFrodo]

This band is amazing.

[pacoroble]

On the Equal Vision website it says the new 7" is coming out on 6/9 :-) but now the full length is not out until early fall X-) here is the link - http://equalvision.com/news/show/434

[splitfinger]

I love this band.

[i_was_a_lid]

I haven't had this much anticipation for a punk rock record since Blink 182... everything they have done is awesome and the dual vocals make me think of TBS circa Tell All Your Friends.

[more heart]

Thought you guys might like to see the album art for this:

[hiya]

new song up on their myspace, love it, ttny have yet to dissapoint me.

[TheSkyline]

I hadn't heard them until now, but I like them.

[ThisIsNotDan]

if this album was done in March/April then why wait til September? huge bummer considering this type of music is best for the summer. anyways new song is good. stoked for the album

[PPunk]

I agree it is a big bummer that we all have to wait for the new EP. Think how TTNY must feel - way worse - they deserve much exposure.

[fly_guy]

I will now go listen to the new song. This band is great

[fly_guy]

New song is great! Just what I expected from this band

[delvec19]

anyone know where i can get the new 7"?

[pacoroble]

Cool photo of The Time Next Year playing Chain Reaction on http://www.hurley.com front page

[DaveZeroZero]

I am totally stoked for this album.

[ThisIsNotDan]

new EP is out there. I'm digging it. I really enjoy the new version of "Alex in Wonderland"

[pacoroble]

A B-side from This Time Next Year that is not on their vinyl nor their upcoming cd, "Father, Son, The Holy Hoax" is available on ITUNES and is also streaming on their myspace http://myspace.com/thistimenextyear (click on the free stream link)

[PPunk]

very nice

[zubinmoosa]

agreed

[Piss]

just discovered these guys, solid band

[MJSchmidt]

Saw them Monday, August 3 and I really enjoyed their live performance. I talked with Pete after the show and he said they haven't worked the logistics out yet, but that they are looking into a tour with Hit The Lights and Fireworks for the fall. Hopefully this can work out because that would be a fun tour in my opinion.

[Mikey216]

Album is out on October 20th. Be prepared for a fucking amazing record.

[i_was_a_lid]

What's the record gonna be called? Super excited to see that Equal Vision is finally letting this record be released because I thought it was finished in March.

[MySpaceHorror]

I saw them for the second time last Thursday. Great live set again.


SO stoked for the HTL/Fireworks/TTNY tour

sweet. Drew has the album apparently and, I'm quoting here, says "it shreds"

[Chris Fallon]

Midtown + a faster Yellowcard = Road Maps and Heart Attacks.

Pretty kickass, very fun, high-energy record. Really enjoy it. I think like Broadway Calls, this will be a sleeper hit and catch a lot of people's attention.

For some reason that seems like an interesting comparison to me even though they are both pop punk bands. I liked the new song they played live when I saw them and I liked both New Sensation and the new version of Alex in Wonderland so I am pretty sure I will like this release. A little off topic, but have you heard the new Swellers record yet Chris? Just curious what it is like.

I'd consider This Time Next Year nothing but pop-punk. :shrug:

"New Sensation" is a good single choice -- very much the standout "accessible" hit of the group here.

I have heard new Swellers and I love it. It's more melodic than My Everest yet very mature; this is a smalltown group of guys writing working-class songs for average people, ya know? It's definitely going to please people and I think it could be their shining moment, the record that people remember them for.

This makes me very excited.

Chris, better or worse than Fireworks' CD?

I think I know the answer already...

[ThisIsNotDan]

finally! a release date. super excited for this and The Swellers as well

Stoked to read it. This band is great.

[duffe]

this will be good.

[more heart]

EVR wants to send this to me for free...too bad I already pre-ordered it last week :-(

[fadedmemories]

So many solid pop punk releases this past year. Hopefully people will stop talking about how the genre died or was much better of during the 90s.

[zubinmoosa]

EVR wants to send this to me for free...too bad I already pre-ordered it last week :-(
how did you get in with EVR?

[more heart]

It was so random haha. I just liked their status on Facebook concerning TTNY posting a new song on MySpace and they commented on their post asking me to send them my mailing address for being the first one to "like' the status.

oops

[more heart]

I should be getting my pre-order package tomorrow.

[dancelukedance]

How is it? im thinking of getting the album

[ThisIsNotDan]

LOVE it

[ikikwe]

Very impressed with the album. I was afraid I was getting another Fireworks' CD where it has some really strong songs but is bogged down with filler. This is not the case with Road Maps and Heart Attacks though. Every song is incredibly solid. I only wish they chose a stronger closer than "Cheers To A Late Night."

[ThisIsNotDan]

can't stop listening to this. "Rise and Fall Curtain Call" and "New Florence" are probably my favorites as of now. this has been a great year for pop-punk, it seems like the trendy neon crap has taken a backseat to honest, gimmick-free, great bands

[Wait_For_It]

I just download Road Maps and Heart Attacks. This is good stuff.

[fadedmemories]

Random bump

What're everyone's favorite songs from the new record?
For me, it's a tie between New Sensation, Liquid Diet and No Bed Of Broken Glass

[PPunk]

New Sensation, Rhyme and Reason, Rise andF all Curtain Call, New Florence, Calling in Dead, Out on Eastern

[fadedmemories]

I'm starting to like this album even more with every listen.

[more heart]

Rise and Fall, Curtain Call is great one for me. A lot of solid songs on this record actually.

[Yellowcard2006]

The album is so great. I'm listening to it all the time since it came out. "Out On Eastern" is my favorite I think.

[duffe]

it's out ?

[Yellowcard2006]

it's out ?
Yup, available as a pay-what-you-want download (even $0)

http://thistimenextyear.bandcamp.com/

Enjoy

[hitormiss92]

There's no song on the album I dislike. Solid all the way through

[fadedmemories]

By-the-numbers pop punk at it's best

[ThisIsNotDan]

album is solid. "Rise And Fall Curtain Call," "New Florence," and "No Bed Of Broken Glass" are my favorites. still a bit iffy on the rerecordings of the EP songs

[ramomcferno]

This Time Next Year flew under my radar. Because of this site I checked them out and I love them. Their full length is amazing.

[xtheaudition]

they were $olid last night in chicago, finally got to see them! their coming back around here to mad maggies in elgin il in a couple weeks, might check 'em out again if its cheap!

[RockTheWalls]

Having the guys in TTNY on the show tonight for a Interview on Rock The Walls LIVE on Train Rek Radio from 4pm to 7pm EST. Tons of great music and Farewell will be on as well! Check it out: http://www.trainrekradio.com

Huge announcement in regards to next weeks guests as well, you dont wanna miss out!

[ThisIsNotDan]

good band, but dude can't sing live AT ALL

[Jaimehere]

good band, but dude can't sing live AT ALL

yeah their main vocalist can't really dish out what he does on the record live, though the backup vocalist nails it every time, but hey i still like em xD

[BigG1392]

"New Sensation" music video is out

Check it out here: http://altpress.com/fridaynightvideos/

You may have to select the actual video from the side menu on the right.

[snowboarderkid]

Good job on the video for New Sensation, and great song.

[Avalanche1]

I've been listening to them a lot lately. Sweetest Air (both the electric and acoustic versions) is so good. Can't get enough of that song.

[kwik-silva]

I did an interview with them for The Sound Alarm, hope you like it! - http://thesoundalarm.com/?p=4690

[BigG1392]

I've been listening to Road Maps And Heart Attacks nonstop lately. Band is underrated in the pop-punk scene right now, but these dudes can bring it. Probably need to improve their live performance a bit, but I definitely enjoyed their last album over Fireworks or The Swellers efforts... can't wait to hear new stuff.

[Girl Vs Ghost]

Amsa

[Girl Vs Ghost]

Amazing*

[Girl Vs Ghost]

And yes Road Maps And Heart Attacks in under rated!

[Avalanche1]

Sweet triple post.

[DylanPPPP]

"I've grown sick, slick bullshit!"

Been in my head all day. This band needs more recognition.

[BigG1392]

Listening to the A Place For You EP now... forgot how good it was. Can't wait for new TTNY material next year!

[jakeknockout]

love when the singer falls down in the "new sensation" video. great band.

[PerfectChaos337]

I love this band so much. Awesome dudes too. They destroy it live too.

[beesy]

I picked up their CD at warped tour but i missed their set :'( road maps is a really catchy album, but its a bit too poppy for my taste

[Hand Solo]

Been obsessed with them ever since I heard A Place For You.

"Board your windows and lock the doors, and stay the FUCK away from me."

[more heart]

It's really a shame that whenever discussion is brought up about the "best up and coming pop punk bands", this band fails to be included.

[david1money]

It's really a shame that whenever discussion is brought up about the "best up and coming pop punk bands", this band fails to be included.

Not right at all - they deserve much more attention and credit. I am still listening to Road Maps and Heart Attacks. Why are they not on tour with all the other bands?

What? They've been on plenty of tours with "these bands". They toured with Four Year Strong/Title Fight/Set Your Goals/The Wonder Years etc. And they're playing with The Wonder Years again late dec. early jan. Also played a bit of Warped Tour 2010.

Where has TTNY been since their short stint on Warped Tour? And where were they before? Nowhere except England for a week or so- Look at all the other bands - they are playing all over all of the time - 1 show with The Wonder Years? Bands that are unsigned play more tours than they get. I do not get it.

[BigG1392]

Stoked they're recording with xChadballx, hope he can produce a killer record for these guys. Road Maps And Heart Attacks was such a good LP... I listen to it more than The Upsides, tbh.

[JJW319]

Yea, those band are literally their "crowd".

I really can't remember how I started listening to these guys, but it was around fall 09 I think. "Sweetest Air" is one of the only songs I would ever consider stating as my favorite song of all time. It was also one of the first songs I tabbed out for guitar. Every guitar part. All rhythm, all lead - every part. Awesome band

RM+HA has such a great lasting value - one of the best in the genre in the past few years.

[hiya]

http://www.altpress.com/aptv/video/ap_sxsw_exclusive_this_time_next_ye ar_play_new_song_acoustic/

This Time Next Year performing an acoustic version of "Drop Out Of Life" from their new album, Drop Out Of Life, coming out this August on Equal Vision Records.

sounds so freakin good.

[ThisIsNotDan]

they recorded it in January why the fuck are they waiting til August to release it?

[Thomas Nassiff]

#dropoutoflife

[BigG1392]

such a good song.

[gjpinizz]

new song sounds like an nfg song

[Thomas Nassiff]

I'm excited to hear what the full record sounds like. This band will always be kinda special to me - I believe they were the first interview I ever did and they were so nice to me. Before I even worked for this site.

[GloryIsDeadx]

It's really a shame that whenever discussion is brought up about the "best up and coming pop punk bands", this band fails to be included.
I think its cause there name is rather generic and easy to forget. i have like 4 or 5 bands on my ipod that have similar names. it is a shame though.

[PerfectChaos337]

New song is totally awesome. I will rep TTNY to the fullest, always. Easily one of the best, most real pop-punk bands in the scene today. I've been into them since around the time A Place For You came out, but then I saw them on that Swellers tour and my love for them was multiplied a ton. I've seen them pretty much every time they've played Long Island since then. Road Maps and Heart Attacks is a great record; It flows well and is always a good listen. I'm very stoked on the new stuff, because it seemed like they definitely stepped up their game. Plus, the drop out of life "movement" is something I can definitely relate to.

They are also so damn cool. They've always been down to chat with me at shows and even sent a song out to me once. Shit was crazy.

[BigG1392]

^^Agreed with everything. I was into TTNY way before I heard about The Wonder Years/MO/Transit, etc... These guys are for real. Surprised they didn't get on Warped Tour though.

[Lemmi!]

so i listened to the new song earlier and have to say, i'm really into it.

[Farva2]

I want some new album details already

[Just An End]

New song sounds awesome.. can't wait for the studio version

[ThisIsNotDan]

New song sounds awesome.. can't wait for the studio version

but...that is the studio version?

[Just An End]

but...that is the studio version?
Apparently I missed something.. I only saw the Alt Press vid of them playing a new song acoustically on the side of a building

EDIT: Nevermind.. I'm an idiot.. studio version sounds awesome

[JJW319]

I know DOOL is out in August (last I heard..) but what's the date?

[ThisIsNotDan]

I know DOOL is out in August (last I heard..) but what's the date?

probably won't be out til September/October, which is absurd considering it's been recorded since January. same thing with the last album; recorded in February, didn't come out til October.

[PerfectChaos337]

Yeah, Equal Vision needs to push these guys harder. They're easily one of my top/favorite bands in the modern pop-punk scene. They just write awesome and creative songs, and I'm sure the new album probably rules.

[BigG1392]

Damn, I know the album has been recorded forever. Get this shit out before it becomes lost in the shuffle with the NFG/Blink/Saves The Day releases!!

[PerfectChaos337]

From EVR's blog:
"This Time Next Year will release their sophomore full-length album, Drop Out Of Life, on September 27th through Equal Vision Records"

[ThisIsNotDan]

Damn, I know the album has been recorded forever. Get this shit out before it becomes lost in the shuffle with the NFG/Blink/Saves The Day releases!!

or at least in early summer, when their music is most enjoyable haha. on the real though, nice to finally have a date for this shit

Agreed, that was a big mistake on the labels part (or whoever made that decision, I have no idea)

I only recently got into these guys, can't wait to hear this new album! Although, again, come Sep.27th, I'll be listening to Neighborhoods for weeks on end..... so Drop Out Of Life will have to wait.

haha yeah, trust me, I'm one of the biggest TTNY fans you'll find (check my avatar), but nothing gets in the way of Blink that week. Although, I mean, if people are going to the record store to buy the Blink album they could pick up this one as well. So it maybe could work in their favor if played right.

[JJW319]

I'll try and be fair to TTNY?

[duffe]

who is the producer for the new album ?

[Avalanche1]

who is the producer for the new album ?

Chad Gilbert

[PerfectChaos337]

Just wanted to say that I'm counting down the days until Drop Out Of Life. That shit is going to rule so hard.

[Farva2]

Just wanted to say that I'm counting down the days until Drop Out Of Life. That shit is going to rule so hard.
Right there with you. We've still got some great releases, TTNY,man overboard, Transit, and a loss for words!

[PerfectChaos337]

I'm torn about pre-ordering the album. I really want the vinyl, but the package for the CD are pretty awesome. I'll probably just grab that and then snag the tour-only version vinyl. Very surprised at how awesome the packages were for this album. Sometimes you never really know with pre-orders.

Yeah, the fall is going to be awesome. So much awesome stuff dropping. IATA, MOB, TTNY, AL4W, Transit, etc are all going to knock it out of the park.

[Avalanche1]

They are playing the new album now, almost half way through: http://turntable.fm/dropoutoflife

[phaynes1]

Thoughts?

[PerfectChaos337]

I missed the stream, but I'm currently scouring the internet to see if it's out in the wild. I've heard it's awesome though.

[BigG1392]

Wow. The Blink album was easier to find than this sucker. I wanna hear this

[brandon_260]

I really hope MerchNow doesn't fuck me over with the notebook. I really want it, and they already screwed me out of the TWY stencil.

[Farva2]

It sounds like people have been able to pick up some physical copies, so this should fully leak within a day or two, we wont have to wait long.

[JetpackJesus]

A day or two is too much for me! haha

I couldn't access the stream because I'm not in the ol' USA, so I've only been able to make do with the 3 songs released so far. Spoontonic is absolutely amazing though, the chorus is awesome! Considering Neighborhoods leaked nearly 2 weeks ago, I've been able to enjoy that and get over the shock, if you will, so now I'm fully prepared for this monster! :D

[xshitsweakx]

Has this officially leaked yet?
Already got MOB's new album, now I'm just waiting on this!

[JetpackJesus]

Bah yeah. Man Overboard leaked, Proper leaked, Neighborhoods leaked, but THIS MANAGED TO AVOID IT, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD AN ALBUM STREAM! Haha

I'm getting so impatient, but I gotta say - bravo, TTNY. :-)

Considering Man Overboard just leaked, they did pretty well. I would expect TTNY to come leak some time tonight, but this is pretty good for these two bands. Lets see how NFG and JM hold up between now and Oct. 4th.

[PerfectChaos337]

I think I read somewhere that AOL Music or something like that is streaming the album tomorrow. I guess tomorrow is the day. But seriously, as much as I am dying to hear this, it's incredibly commendable that this didn't leak, and I hope tons of people preordered it.

Awesome. I was so bummed out when I got all ready for the stream a few days ago, clicked the link to turntable.fm, and saw a big "NOT AVAILABLE OUTSIDE THE US" screen thrown in my face. Tomorrow's going to be torture at work, because getting home to this will be all I think about.

Until then: Spoontonic. Meet Repeat Button. <3

Yeah, here's the quote from their facebook, just to confirm.
"AOL listening party will have it up the following Monday. http://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds#/1"
I don't know which following Monday they meant though, since the comment was posted in regards to some responses to the Turntable FM thing. I'm assuming they mean the Monday following that turntable thing, meaning tomorrow, but It's worded weird.

[Thomas Nassiff]

Good for Equal Vision that this didn't leak.

[brandon_260]

It's so awesome that this hasn't leaked. I wonder how many of the October 4th releases will not leak.

[BigG1392]

This album is so fucking good. Wow.

[hiya]

About halfway through the album and it's very good so far. Not gonna lie though, I miss the grittier dual vocals that made me like the band so much and made tracks like "Sweetest Air" so amazing. just think that was more of a unique sound. The stuff they're doing now is still really great though.

[JetpackJesus]

Haha, I'm only like a quarter was through "Better Half" and I already love it. I have a feeling I'm going to fall head over heels with this album!

[gjpinizz]

the breakdown on better half is awful. the rest of it sounds alright so far though

[PerfectChaos337]

This album is absolutely spectacular. It shattered all of my expectations and just rocks so hard. I'm a little bummed at there being only 3 Brad appearances, but I don't hear many places for him anyway. Pete is an awesome singer and holds it down regardless. Loving these lyrics as well.

[JetpackJesus]

Well, I love it. Plain and simple. I still think Spoontonic might be my favorite, but Modern Day Love Story and Better Half are also super fabulicious! And not to beat a dead horse, but I'm also a little gutted that Brad didn't sing as much on the record. I was hoping for at least one Alex In Wonderland-type switch vocals song, but alas... 'twas not to be. Still, this album is alot better than I had hoped! Blew me away!

...unlike Man Overboar-- I MEAN.

[Avalanche1]

I love My Side Of Town so much.

[So-Crates]

Ohhhhhhh Gotta Believe Me When I Sayyyyyyy!!!!!!!

edit: caps are broken for some reason haha

[Micah511]

so the intro to living hell sounds like a really sped up product of the 80s by set your goals. it goes without saying that i like this song better.

[Star Slight]

Fell off with this band but loved A Place for You. Listening to the new one now.
Vocals sound different

EDIT:
Yeah not feelin this. Oh well, there's always

[Sakarazu]

Did I post here about this yet? Don't think so.

Love this album, so much more than old TTNY. It's so awesome. In the review, Thomas said it seemed like a summer record that had come too late but to me it seems like a perfect fall album.

[Jaimehere]

Production on the new album is miles better than on road maps, but I still find that album to have the catchier songs.

[PerfectChaos337]

I love all those awesome gang vocals on this album. Going to be so much fun to shout them live.

[phaynes1]

Excited to listen!

[Turkelton8]

Album is awesome! Can't wait to see them on PPND. I just downloaded a copy of the album (no money right now to buy it) and it came with two untitled tracks. I can't find any information on them. Anyone else get the same thing and figure out if they have track names or anything?

[brandon_260]

Waiting on this album to show up in the mail before I listen, but all the positivity has me excited. Doubt I will like it more than MO's newest though!

[phaynes1]

It's pretty decent. I prefer Road Maps. Wish there were more vocals from Brad, but other than that, I can't complain.

[Alligator Blood]

I've heard a lot of hype for this record. Worth giving a listen?

[phaynes1]

Definitely worth a listen. Don't really agree with the hype though. I feel its worse than the debut.

[Alligator Blood]

Listening now, and I do quite like it. The songs aren't sinking in too well though. I'll have to give this one time.

[JJW319]

Pretty good pop punk record. Excellent production on Mr. Gilbert's part. Some catchy gems as well

[ramomcferno]

My thoughts exactly. Not sure where it stacks up against Road Maps yet though.

[maxswellrevenge]

did anyone the two bonus tracks on the physical copy? their excellent, i checked itunes and they aren't on there.

"This Afterlife" & "Whiskey And Coke"

[JetpackJesus]

I personally think this one is better than Road Maps. For me, the only advantage Road Maps has over Drop Out Of Life is that it has more Brad vocals, but other than that, Drop Out just 1-ups everything else. I love the new record, and have no doubt that it'll be in my top 5 albums of this year, right up there with Neighborhoods and Suburbia :D

And dayum, I haven't heard these 2 bonus tracks yet. THE SEARCH IS ON!!!

[maxswellrevenge]

maybe brad held back on back up vox because hes doing Misser (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/problems.-problems.-problems./id464995398)with the singer of transit?

:shrug:

& the new album is excellent, even with a new rhythm section!

Not Transit's singer.

[maxswellrevenge]

Not Transit's singer.
yeah he sings, not main vox, but he sings and plays guitar, i dont care, i think transit sucks.

Solid though.

Love this album.

[Dre Okorley]

Found this album to be incredibly boring. :\

[Farva2]

Took a few spinse but im starting to get really into this album but as everyone has mentioned, the lack of brads vocals really do hurt the record's sound. Still like road maps better but that may change in time.

[a3s1g1]

"This Afterlife" & "Whiskey And Coke"

I bought the cd from a Hot Topic yesterday, and both those tracks are on my CD. They're not listed on the packaging or booklet, but they're on there. Nice surprise.

[dannylololol]

It feels like there's less energy on this album. It's still good though!

[Charlesieiy]

Found this album to be incredibly boring. :\
There's something off about the singer's voice. Dunno what it is. Still haven't listened to it properly though.

[Is A Cult]

Sad that I don't love this one. Its solid but its a lot more generic as opposed to Road Maps which, as everyones saying, a lot grittier. Not bad by any means, but not on Fireworks/TWY level this year

i thought so too! they are quite enjoyable!

[BigG1392]

Better Half, Last Call and This Is An Airport Train are my favorites by far. Really solid album

[maxswellrevenge]

so good.

I'm still really enjoying this album a lot. I can't wait to see these guys on Pop Punk's Not Dead.

[theotheryabs]

Really dig these guys, can't wait to see them.

I'm gonna be honest though: As much as I do hear a new found glory comparison, I don't think they sound EXACTLY like NFG. I've still heard people dismiss this album because they think it sounds exactly like them. Anyone else hear this?

I think those people need to listen more to the album and they may feel like you and I do do

It does sound a lot like NFG, but that doesn't turn me off at all.

Prime example of NFG sound: On the Title Track, during the bridge the "Here We Go" scream reminds me so much of All Downhill From Here when chad yells "YOU KEEP PULLING ME DOWN".

I don't think they rip off NFG, just with the production and the same genre, it sounds a lot like NFG, but a little slower and with less nasally vocals. Love both bands though.

[phaynes1]

Wish Brad sung more on this. That being said, I like it more than I did initially.

Like this better than the studio version. Good tune.

[ThisIsNotDan]

really liking the new album lately, really satisfies my pop punk fix. I think it's weird how they're still relatively unknown considering bands like Man Overboard and The Story So Far are blowing up in their scene

[DylanPPPP]

And the fact that they are on Equal Vision which is a relatively large indie label.

exactly, I feel kind of bad honestly, especially when I saw they were bottom bill on the PPND tour

[DylanPPPP]

Because on the recorded version he sings like he should on an acoustic version. If he would have taken his voice the extra mile on the recorded version it would be better.

[DylanPPPP]

At my date only a few people knew TTNY but nearly EVERYONE on the floor knew ManO. I love ManO, but the fact that no one really knew TTNY didn't really sit with me well.

Probably because that's Chad shouting on the TTNY track haha.

yeah it's really strange, they had a pretty small draw when I saw them on the FYS tour like two years ago. oh well, hope this album brings them a bigger following, "Matchbook" is one of the catchiest songs I've heard in awhile

Did not care for Drop Out Of Life. I hated it at first, but it grew on me slightly...just slightly though. I (like phaynes) think that the songs where Brad sang quite a bit are their best, and he is criminally underused on the new album.

that's my one complaint, there needs to be a lot more Brad, but the production is so much better on this album than Road Maps it's unbelievable. so much fun to blast while driving

I actually like the less polished stuff more, but that's just me.

[brandon_260]

I don't listen to this album enough.

[xHoodieWeather]

Probably because that's Chad shouting on the TTNY track haha.

Holy shit. That makes so much more sense now. Awkward.

[Farva2]

I think this is an airport train might be my favorite TTNY track.

[brandon_260]

The hidden tracks on Drop Out Of Life are better than most of the actual album.

[ramomcferno]

I know its mine.

They were really good. Glad they included them on the actual CD.
