Someone should have warned this UK band how tired and overplayed the pop-punk/power pop genre is in the US. If they did, this would never have been put out here in the US, and then I wouldn't have to review this godawful album.

It sounds like four high school kids got ahold of guitars and albums by Saves the Day/Hey Mercedes/New Found Glory/Dashboard Confessional. Then it sounds like they tried to mix all these bands into one bland and unappealing package. Not to mention the out of tune harmonies and shitty guitar solos. Look, unless you're Eddie Van Halen or Hendrix or whomever, don't solo. You just sound dumb. You're not as good as them. I have another question. Is there a Newark in the UK, or is this a reference to New Jersey? Because if it's a reference to New Jersey...

Song titles include such gems as "Can You Fly, Bobby?" or "Looking Back" and "Souvenir." Blah blah blah, boring boring boring. Why do people keep trying to write music like this? They have to know that at least a thousand bands have written this record before, and nothing good is ever going to come from you doing it again. Blah. I have to turn this off, it's making me sick.

Ah, much better. The lyrics are all about heartbreak and crappy stuff like that. Don't people these days have anything better to write about? Even that bitch Slug (ya know, the one from Atmos...I mean Emosphere) stopped writing his raps about social issues and only rhymes about girls now. I'm going to say this here and now: WE DON'T CARE. We don't fucking care if you're girlfriend dumped you. We don't care how mad you are. This is not an excuse to write shitty music and thrust it upon the world. Now I'm not saying that all songs about heartache are bad. There are just two ways to do it. And this album does not fall into either way. Suck it bitches.

Oh, they have a purevolume.com site if you're really that interested, but I'm too lazy and these guys suck so much that I don't have the effort to link it. I'm sure you could find it if you really wanted to.
