Great Seller
I ordered a CD the day before I ordered this one, and this one arrived a few days before the other CD I bought. Fast fast fast delivery.


One of the Best Alternative Albums Ever
Great album. . Only One, Ocean Avenue, Way Away, and Back Home I have listened to over 100 times each.


yellow report card
I love music, play in a rock band myself as a female drummer. I've been listening to music probably longer than some of you have been alive.

The pop structures and guitar riffs in this cd are darn good and catchy in a good portion of the songs. SOme of these songs realy rock. However, the vocals remind me too much of boy bands, not powerful enough to carry the good songs behind it. If I close my eyes and imagine these songs with more powerful and deeper vocals there would be no stopping this band. Too bad the whole package isn't there.

A gem among many
I was just about finished with high school and all i tended to listen to was hip hop/rap and country. A made a transition in my taste in music about four years ago. Basically two opposite ends of the spectrums I know. The I noticed i started to lean towards a lot of pop punk/screamo/emo/rock (who the hell cares what the genre is here, its all good music) songs. This was the second cd I bought that fit a different type of genre I wasn't very used to. It was a purchase im glad i made. This cd is one of very few you can put in and just let it play through front to back and enjoy every bit of musical talent this group has. The vocals, violin, and catchy songs will mezmerize you. I was able to relate personally to many of the songs and Im sure most people will say the same. Personal favorites are Breathing, Only One, Believe, and Back Home. But they are all good.

As for the rest of yellocard's cds, i have sampled all of them, and there are a few diamonds in the rough, but none of the albums come within miles of this effort. Ocean Avenue is gem in their collection of efforts. .


Okay, I suppose...
The chord progressions for many of the songs aren't that great. I don't know, this CD just didn't really do it for me. That's not the case for "Way Away", "Ocean Avenue", "Only One", "One Year, Six Months" and a few other very listenable songs on this album. But it's not really worth it to buy the whole album, in my opinion. I guess I could see this being more appealing to some other people, you know, the scream-my-heart-out kind, who don't really need music, they just need a way to vent their anger. Of course, as the afore mentioned songs will prove, there IS some real music on this album. Just not as much as I think Yellowcard is capable of.
