1. "The Takedown" (5/5):
I expected here after "Lights and Sounds" with another intro. None. Yellowcard knock something from the strings that one might think the devil was after them. Geiler punk song, harder than before, yet very catchy.
2. "Fighting" (5/5):
Another song with a very hard (for Yellowcard ratios) guitars begins. But this song is becoming a real hit. The vocals in the verses begins to hypnotize immediately. The chorus is reminiscent of "Way Away", but clearly shows another musical track that have chosen Yellowcard.
3. "Shrink The World" (4.5 / 5):
Begins with a very anschaulichem Chorus, nice to sing along, but it takes less than 10 seconds before the next crashing guitar riff. Despite a somewhat weak interlude towards the end of the song yet convinced by the playfulness.
4. "keeper" (5/5):
Now correct memory are monitored, namely to "Ocean Avenue", which one has missed so miserably in the second album. A simple melody, tempo, and you can just lay back and enjoy this song.
5. "Light Up The Sky" (4/5):
When I'm listening to the rest of the album so, I wonder why the boys have just chosen this song as the first single. Of course the song is keinensfalls bad, but the album has better songs.
Still acceptable.
6. "Shadows And Regrets" (4.5 / 5):
The Whole World is Sleeping And I was there ... you know the still ("Words, Hands, Hearts"). This is the same in green, like guitar and vocal melody. But like the previous song from Lights and Sounds is this track without dangers ear stick.
7. "Five Become Four" (5/5):
This song is in my opinion the best song on the album. Fast punk riffs and a hammer melody can be 3 minutes at full gas the song. Here, the strings are also really good advantage. Also lyrically one of the best Yellowcard songs !!!
8. "Afraid" (5/5):
Also belongs to the highlights of the album. Starts with uptempo and somewhat reminiscent of "Down On My Head", wobie here the chorus clearly more going on. See for yourself. This song would be the first single. ("I Am Afraid Right Now ...") ...
9. "Dateline (I am Gone)" (4.5 / 5):
Here Yellowcard have devised something very cool that really catchy melody follows shortly after (!) The chorus. Later, she is but much more stressed and stressed and the arising genuinely successful uptempo song.
10. "Dear Bobbie" (4.5 / 5):
Starts with an acoustic guitar and a robot-like voice that tells a story and shows up repeatedly in the song. Musically seen a small tick faster than track. 6
11. "You And Me On One Spotlight" (4.5 / 5):
Slow tempo wear this song, which reminded of good old times Ocean Avenue. Only One sends his regards. Otherwise, just one can in this song just to travel and sing.
12. "Cut Me Mic" (4/5):
A good up-tempo number otherwise there is not much to say. Nothing special.
13. "Paper Walls" (5/5):
The title track has a cool drum beat and a melody undwiederstehliche. This song Yedllowcard prove quite a lot of courage, but therefore also your musical skills. The song would have seen experimentally, may also be on the Lights And Sounds plate. Hammer-track !!!
Highlights:
Five Becomes Four, Afraid, Paper Walls
Yellowcard deliver with PW my opinion from an album, what is ebenwürtig Ocean Avenue. Of course it's not quite as cheerful, but produces musically top and polished. Ocean Avenue had a hand vol more cheerful hits, but which the caliber of college band were the same. Thus, this album makes Yellowcard for real guys (well, that they were already ...)
Pretty awesome ...
