I agree with everything said except for the Nelson Hawk thing simply because I don’t know who he is. I did notice that Ryan sounded different in Dear Bobbie. I’m not too crazy for that song as well as light up the sky lyrics.But I wish there were none to that song. It’s classic and foo fighter-ish all by itself. I skip it. The worst thing about skipping songs though for me is that every time I do the song plays in my head first. Shrink the world is addictive, but I had fighting on my page. I knew there was a children’s choir. All boys? Their voices are purest at a young age. I think D major is their favorite key because many of their songs are in it. Underdogs go! ha, Jamie.

I have had the album since it leaked (June 23, I believe) I love the songs, but I have been reading a lot about the album and I read that someone said its the best album since Brand New’s “The Devil and God are Raging Inside of Me.” Thats quite the lofty comparrison or whatever because that record STUNNED me. Whats my point? This cd stuns me in a different way. As a whole, the cd doesn’t seem as cohesive as Brand New’s latest effort, but I don’t know, maybe there are too many rules to rock and roll that people have made up over the years. Who says the cd has to be cohesive? It just seems like a lot of big people in rock are making a big deal out of when a record sticks with itself. What this record says to me is that Yellowcard is a band who doesn’t care about the “rules of rock.” This record is a record of good fucking songs, not a record that is an art project made by pompous pricks that needs to be listened start to finish. You can turn on track 3 and then turn it off, and get the point, which is that Yellowcard can write good fucking songs, put them on a cd, and find an audience of many.

Paper Walls, the new 2007 album from Yellowcard, in my opinion was absolutely amazing. Ive had it for a couple of days now and basically take it with me everywhere. The track Shadows and Regrets is probably my favorite, followed by Keeper, and then other songs such as Afraid, Five becomes Four (which im pretty sure is about the former guitarist, Ben Harper) and I also agree that Light Up the Sky isnt exactly broing for me….but it could use some chageup in the chorus and the bridge. Keepers verse is incredibly catchy, and although i havnt heard the last 2 tracks, Cut me Mick and Paper Walls, I’m sure they’re great. Thanks for the Reivew!

I think you have a pretty solid review, however, I think some of these songs (Afraid, especially) sound more like One For The Kids than Ocean Avenue. This album, in my opinion, is their most solid yet, and has a great variety. I love it already.
