The Original Yellowcard
Though they may share many of the same members and the same name, the band you will hear on this album is miles away from the Yellowcard known to people by Ocean Avenue. To understand this album, you have to understand that this is not the "Ocean Avenue" Yellowcard.

This was originally released several years before "One For the Kids," the modern Yellowcard's "debut," if you will. When this was released, Yellowcard was a very talented punk rock band. Too many reviews either say this is a bad album, or the newer ones are. It is simply important to realize that you are not truly talking about the same band. I personally prefer the way they are on this album, but I also liked One For the Kids for what it was (I wasn't a big fan of Ocean Avenue, but that's just how it goes sometimes). So please understand: on this album, you will hear Yellowcard as they were in the late 90s: one of the best punk rock bands around. They had a lot of heart, a lot of energy, and very good lyrics. But as I've seen suggested, I would also suggest checking out the samples on this page to be sure this is really the type of music you're looking for.

If you are a fan of Yellowcard's more recent releases, this may not be for you. On the other hand, whether or not you like their newer music, if you like bands like The Vandals, Screeching Weasel, The Lookouts, the Descendents, or other fast-paced punk, you may want to check this one out.


the worst piece of crap to ever hit music stores...
i liked there other 2 cds, but i knew there was a different singer. i was skeptical when buying this cd. i thought. . . ok so it'll be a little different. different was RIGHT. it sucked. song after song of screaming vocals, messy tempos, and pure vanilla, meaning that it ALL sounded the same. what were they thinking? well, at least they've improved by dropping their ex piece of crap singer. and now they're but more appealing. but NEVER EVER even think about buying this cd or you will sincerely regret it.


some good old school yellowcard
If you don't believe then listen to those 30-second samples. to this reviewer:"Ugh! This is very bad!", June 11, 2005
A Kid's Review

"I wouldn't suggest for those who are into Yellowcard's Ocean Avenue (which I am), then DON'T buy this. I hope their next album is not like this. It seems that in 2 years, they almost lost all their talent. Get something else by them-I don't know, just maybe their last two albums. WARNING: THE CD CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE (they forgot to put (Explicit Lyrics) beside it, I'm serious, I've seen it in stores and it may not be suitables for persons under 16 years of age. )"

I can't help but point this out. . . . this is not a new cd this a re-release of an old CD back when yellowcard had a different singer named Ben Dobson. Personally I like this better than ocean avenue. It has a better flow and it's not near as poppy, although all the songs are great my favorites are Sue, On the Brink, and Anywhere But Here. I really reccomend this to any punk fan. This is true yellowcard!.


This is what Yellowcard should've stayed as!
. . of course, money is the ruling factor of everything, so if they had stood wtih this type of rock, then they might have just stayed more underground-ish.

This is the Yellowcard that I miss very much. Ben Dobson had "the voice" that made it unique and very different from regular punk rock bands. Their ability to mix super good guitar riffs with violin solos and energetic vocals is just outstanding in itself. Taking that characteristic, Ryan Key easily turned this band from a super energetic punk rock band to "MTV sellouts" (coming from a person that does not like MTV that much).

About every song on this album is flowing with energy and just plain goodness. People who have been introduced to Yellowcard with Ocean Avenue WILL notice a HUGE difference between the current Yellowcard lineup and this one, hence the negative reviews.

It's sad that Yellowcard has changed. At least they have their older albums to be remembered by.


horrible
this is a disgrace. if you buy this album you should be shot. . . ocean avenue is an ill album. . . this is simply garbage.
