Don't Listen to the Nay-sayers Yellowcard has a much more polished sound on this CD, and they continue to wow me with their punk-roots sound incorporated with a classic touch of violin. This CD is certainly different that Ocean Avenue. AMAZING!!!.
Great Album
If you like all of their other stuff then this album is for you. Nothing disappointing here about yet another great yellowcard album. I bought this CD two weeks ago and havent stopped listening to it. .
Best of Yellowcard
The lyrics are meaningful and the music is (as always) amazing. Paper Walls is Yellowcard's best CD yet. My favorite tracks are "Paper Walls", "Shadows and Regrets", and "Dear Bobbie". The first time I heard "Dear Bobbie, I wasn't sure what I was listening to and thought the CD was damaged. But then I started it over and listend more closely and I was blown away. "Dear Bobbie" is such a sweet and endearing song. This CD is amazing and I highly recommend it for anyone who loves Yellowcard or has never bought one of their CDs.
Thank Captial Records for giving this an underrated album!
Captial Records gave them a one more go on this to see where this album will go, boom! Paper Walls shows up and not many people even knew Yellowcard was still around nor a new album. Yellowcard bounced back from a disapointing Lights and sounds album where it declined the fan base and the popularity of the band. I bought this album looking to see where this album would go, the first track "The Breakdown" brings a older past of the band's first major record "One for the kids" which really got me into this album and more excited to hear more of the tracks.
The single "Light up the sky" was a poor choice, I mean to be honest there was other tracks on the album that could of killed that song like "Afraid", "Paper Walls", "You and me and one spotlight" or "keeper". I am very very very disapointed that Captial Records didn't promote this record, infact gave up after the first single.
Now that the band is broken up and Captial records let them go, this band in many eyes are labeled a "one-hit wonder" but really in my eyes a Very UNDERRATED band that showed the world what true music is about and not bunch of MTV wannabes.
Buy this record cause it's worth every penny of it.
Best cd by Yellowcard, in my opinion
Ocean Avenue either had really good songs, or really bad songs. Yellowcard has always been that band that either has a really good song, or a boring song. Lights and Sounds was just awful and a waste of my time. This cd, however, is much better.
