this album is s so terrible. im also not down with the face that ur so gay is about chris carrabba

Katy Perry is absolutely horrible, but well written review.

isn't she on warped? if so, need to review this.

as i've said before, though, fuck katy perry.

on the album, on a well written review. Dont let the haters hold you down my man.

I bought this album the day it came out and it has since grown on me. I do understand the validity of your points regarding it not making sense as a whole, but why does an album have to be cohesive? I mean, I see a definitive correlation between the majority of the songs bashing an ex-boyfriend...just read the lyrics to Ur So Gay, Mannequin, Hot N Cold, One of the Boys, and even I Kissed A Girl.

Additionally, I don't really see any reason to bash Katy Perry's lyrics. Ur So Gay's "You're so sad you should buy a happy meal" and "you're so skinny you should really super size the deal" are phrases that I text my friends on various occasions. No, they aren't deep. No, they don't change the world. But they comfort and relate to the teenage drama that is (well, hopefully was) mine and many others lives...messy break-ups.

This is an album review, not a single review. Absolute Punk doesn't do single reviews (as far as I know). Thus I've gotta look at it as one unit, not separate songs. There needs to be some sort or link other than shallow lyrics.

"You're so sad you should buy a happy meal" and "you're so skinny you should really super size the deal" are lines that make me cringe. Teenage drama-related lyrics are trite and thus obnoxious. No offense.

Didn't mean to come off as such a grouchy, unappreciative old man; I sincerely appreciate your constructiveness.

I am a girl, and I am not loving this shit.

It seems like the 75% rating gives the impression you like it more than you do. I'd have thought below 60 was closer based on the text.

Good call. I don't see why one would think girls in particular would be "loving" this. It's terrible.

And I agree that it seems like the score is too high based on the opinions expressed in the review itself. I mean it's a well written review but I can't really say I agree with it.

Yeah, but he did a really great job of it.. I bought this one on iTunes last week, and I agree with what he says. The songs stand alone just fine, but there is no flow to the album as a whole.

The most important number is the reviewer's tilt. Since there's a predetermined formula to calculate the score, the numbers don't always match the words.

Thank you!

imo, this record has a few great tracks, but I agree about the whole cohesiveness problem

Is it really a 9 on lasting value?

bad album, but jesus christ is she hot.
