Honestly I can say i enjoy the album. One of the main reason's is I am totally stoked to hear these songs live. Being at the ripe old age of 18 I find myself enjoying SYG and FYS and shows of that energy, although I love Mae to death I have trouble standing there and just listening to people play music (beautiful music) for an hour or so. I would much rather sing and move around to Hit the Lights or Devil Wears Prada. No doubt one day I will get into Radiohead and more mellow bands, but for me right now, im looking for the mosh, lookin for the singalongs, looking for the energy. And ADTR brings all that with every show I've seen them (6) and I am super stocked to see them in 2 months.

Reviewer needs to fuck off and grow some balls.

Mr. Highway's Looking for the End is the best song, fucking rules.

i really liked this album although i do agree that the genre is getting old/stale and they should be more experimental. but hey, they are what they are. this music is about being silly and having fun, so i find it hard to criticize.

DISRESPECT YOUR SURROUNDINGS!!!








lol

i thought the album was decent. i like FTWHH so i think its an ok cd (granted its very similar though)

not the best cd ever but its not the worst cd ever either.

if it comes on during shuffle i wont skip it right away is what im trying to say

why change whats really good? their catchy, their heavy at times. best of both worlds. they do what they do very well. its a very solid cd, a definite step up from FTWHH.

doesn't sound like a "filler" album to me. just a fun record to blast all summer long. "Have Faith In Me" and the last song are pretty awesome..as well as the opening song

100% DISAGREE, i have the album and ive heard all the tracks and its a REALLY solid album!

I downloaded the leak, and I couldnt believe they had outdone Heart with 1 spin.

The CD is great, and I have pre-ordered it.

Blake, could you give me some examples of songs that are so similar that you would give this record a 48%? I don't see where you're coming from at all. This album has 7 songs that are mainly just singing, which is a HUGE difference from their past records. A band's formula is what makes them sound like them. So you're saying you hate this cd 'cause it sounds like an A Day To Remember record? The heavy songs are heavier, and the the entire record is catchier. I just don't see how being in a similar place years down the road is a good argument for a bad review. I see plenty of difference in these records. They are a pop band that plays heavy parts. Most pop music has a pretty consistent formula. So, judging by what you're saying here all pop bands' cds are 48% in your opinion? Formulas are what being in a pop band is all about. I'm stoked to see how you handle NFG's new record.

You refer to a band you obviously do not enjoy do describe the limitations of a genre? Hmm..

Albums still good, still buying it

nice review to look at tho
:-)

i think a change in sound was not necessary and would have probably hurt the band. they are getting to be really well known. their sound is working, and their fans want a continuation of it. i think they are going to blow up this year within the scene.

but i think it is unfair that you failed to mention a slight difference in the general tone of this album compared to FTWHH. whereas FTWHH consisted of songs that all had a heavy over tone, yet catchy parts, homesick has almost two parts to it. it has a bunch of songs that are more pop-punk than the last record, written in major keys but still have breakdowns, and then there are songs that are way heavier than than FTWHH (see mr highway, welcome to the family, and you already know). the songs vary in tuning and overall, each song stands out on its own, more so than the songs of the last record

fuck this review. I have a copy of this cd and its by far the best mix of pop/punk and hardcore ive ever heard. Homesick is the best release i have heard in a very very long time

bottom line: awesome cd.
