"and with rash of disappointing releases thus far in 2007, you might"

am I hearing different music than you

fall out boy, anberlin, relient k, bayside

those are all great albums

I dig the album art, but I think this review is pretty well on point.

And here is another reason why I consider you a mentor. I consider this review a bulls eye but it did motivate me to rehash So Long Astoria. For that reason, I'm thankful.

yeah, the album art reminds me of that painting "night hawk". But the way I imagined the music that goes with that image is way different than what Welcome The Night sounds like. spot on review

Maybe the ataris will change back to their old sound if enough people hate this album. I do not think it is that bad, but it is definitely different. I also think the musicianship deserves higher than a 5.75.

Great review and I agree with the score.

Are you serious? Great albums? So because a band can make a cd full of pop jingles that automatically means everyone should don it as a great album?

As for The Ataris, they have been less of a band since the millenium. Although I must admit this cd surprised me, yet not in a good way.


Bloc Party was not a dissapointing release, how about you start there.

I heard a couple songs off of this and seeing how much theyre trying to change their image is joke, maybe it dosent help that I never really was a fan of their, but Im sure this review is accurate.

With the line of dissapointing releases, Ive heard FOB once, that was enough, heard Anberlin yesterday and thought the hype was way over blown and it was decent but just another Anberlin to someone isnt a big Anberlin fan, the other two I havent heard, but Bloc Party, not as good as Silent Alarm but certainly not dissapointing.

I still don't know how I feel about this album.

One hand thinks it's okay
The other hand is asking where Bite My Tongue v.2 is

I cared less about the other three, but the new Anberlin is amazing.

short sweet and to the point.

This albums sucks soooo bad, I thought I downloaded a wrong version or something, but apparently, it's true that this band is dead.
I'm going to see them in april, and I hope they'll only play their old songs!

Nice review Russ.

nice review? it sucks as hell
i'm one big fan of the ataris and allright, it sounds not that good as the other albums but you really have to listen more to it with the intention of "they changed, give them a chance" and not immediatly "they changed, they suck". far from the last last call and the cheyenne line are goddamn beautiful tracks, just like cardiff-by the sea and whatever lies will help you rest.
welcome the night is a album that only a true ataris fan can love so let this review than be write by a real fan
