great review, but the album is a 5 or a 6 in my mind. Too sappy and sugary, despite it's extreme catchiness. loved it at first listen, thought it was good for 2nd and 3rd, couldn't listen for more than 5 min at a time after that.

i agree, but I have put a good amount of time in between my listens so it doesn't become redundant or empty. i try to save it for the sunshine days.

haha it was for having a fake. of course there were thousands of other people with fakes too, my roommate and i just happened to be "those guys" that got arrested for it. sucks though, because we got into the same club the night before with the same fakes, it was just the bouncers that were more anal the next night i guess. we posted bail and we won't go to jail, it just sucks because of the money and the fact that it's on my record now.

I love this album, but I loathe the album cover. It almost makes me not want to buy it when it comes out.

Lol. I had water in my mouth and I was stretching when I read then, therefore when I laughed... poor computer screen. Luckily it was water.

"Well oh no this won't be a sad song, there's gonna be CLAPS AND SINGING ALONG!"
I really like it, though it isn't THAT lasting, it's still really fun.
It does go down over time though.
Ashame too. Some songs are really great.

this has nothing to do with your quote, but its directed to you.... northstars not playing bamboozle right? cuz that would be fucked up if they did after they broke up like 3 weeks before
on subject, i havent heard any of the new cd except the 2 songs on pv, but im really excited for it. the review got me convinced to buy it

from the samples on the webpage, this album sounds pretty shitty.

i agree with just about everything in that review, except where you call it simple pop-rock. i wouldnt really call it simple, the rocket summer is much more complex musically than a lot of other bands posted about on this site, especially since its all coming from one mind.

I have no idea, it still shows them on the Line-up on the site. But the website doesn't get updated very often. So i'm guessing they're not playing.

It has its complexities I guess, but you never listen to it and think, wow that's technical or anything. It's mostly just riffs and stuff you know?
