I really can't understand why Kevin left Four Letter Lie to join this band and basically waste his vocal talents. ADTR has two singers in their band but only one of them sings. It makes no sense to me.

It sounds like they were listening to Scary Kids Scaring Kids "Holding On" when they wrote the song "If I Leave."

i agree with that right there,
hopefully in the future kevin's talent will show up on an ADTR record

the only problem in the album is jeremy's screams..

People who hate = haters.

Edit: Also, I'll stop using "haters" when you stop overusing commas.

lol yeah i suffer from an over usage of commas and usually i use a lot of "..."s but the whole"hater" thing in every discussion is really annoying and then you get people with the whole "i hate (or love) haters" and its just stupid. just another fucking stupid word made up by idiots. another that bothers the shit out of me is "ight" or "dat" like right and that are short enough to begin with?

My review of the album portrayed as an ADTR song:

Chugga chugga chugga yawn chugga chugga snore chugga chugga chugga mehhh breakdown FIGHT

they've had poppy melodies and heavy chugging and screaming on every single record they've put out, as well as piano and other similar effects.

i'm not saying this is album of the year, but i know personally i've listened to it a looooot and i think most people hating on this record have listened to it maybe once through at the most. just saying.

the album could've been longer, and i think maybe if it was, people would find a bit more they like about it.

for those who have heart was amazing, but it's not coming back.

im a die hard adtr fan, and i was ready to love the shit out of this album and say fuck off to everyone who said otherwise, even if it wasnt as good as it should be...but i mean come one, this cd is weak, it's a huge dissapointment

I had positive things to say when I went through the entire album almost track by track.

The thing with AltPress is that their reviewers are reviewing under the name AltPress. So they give sort of a rounded opinion of the magazine, not just their own personal criticism. That's usually what I think when I see such a high score for an album like this.

Lol'ed, although I love the new Kanye record.

I think that's what made me have some standing in the review, I genuinely enjoy this band so that's why this album was a disappointment.

This is the Internet, I shouldn't have to say that things are my opinion for it to be implied that they are my opinions. And honestly if you don't want to read that then go to a different website.

If it was at all appropriate I would tear apart your writing and any aspect of journalistic ability you have. If the criteria was up solely to me none of your user reviews would be published.

Lol'ed, I know you hate them though. I actually thought about you when I was saying nice things during this review.

These are huge words coming from you haha.

I meant that his vocal melody in the chorus just ruins the song.

The chugga chugga's aren't as obvious and forward as they have been in the past. I mean there are some straight up pop punk tracks here that I thought would be right up your alley.

Also, in general, thanks for the kind words about this review, everyone. It seems like a lot of people think this is one of my best reviews if not my best. I'm flattered.

This is about to get heated.

Depends on how butthurt kidchino is I guess.

Hmm I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about this record
I feel like it's better than Homesick but I'm still not digging this new ADTR

Not butt hurt about anything. I know my reviews are not good which is why I don't write them and do other shit for my own website all the while taking courses to get better. You should adopt that policy until you get better as your reviews are on par with mine on shittiness.

Gave up on the band. j14 can keep them.

Decent album, but it didn't have the same appeal Homesick did on it's first listen. I know this will grow on me in due time though
