haven't reviewed in ages so this definitely isn't one of my best. I just had to get this out though because I haven't found
an album that's inspired me enough to write about it since...well, since my last review. Helpful criticism is welcomed.

Definitely needs a rewrite, but you've convinced me to pick this up.

Half time. 0-0. HEJA SVERIGE.
After you've listened to the stream of this, tell me what you think.

For sure, man. I've been told time after time to listen to these dewdz.

I've been addicted to this since it leaked.

great review, and i totally agree with it, although your idea of this "taking critics by surprise" is a little unfounded, as there's been a ridiculous amount of hype behind these guys in both the press and on the internet (practically the whole userbase at punknews.org has been furiously whacking over this band for a good year now, and kerrang put them on the cover without any prior mention in the magazine). still, one of the few bands who deserve said hype.
review gets my vote for sure, and i might actually review this myself soon, after a few more listens. it's currently bordering on a 5 for me, i figure a week or two of further listens will decide...

I actually had no idea about the hype, grimbo, although I'd heard about the Kerrang cover but wasn't sure if it was true. I figure this'll probably get up to a 4.5 for personal enjoyment within a week or two.

grimbo, I'd like to read a review by you on this one. This rating is likely to go up. This and The Loved Ones' Build and Burn are reviving pop punk / rock for me.

This is some good stuff. I enjoy Sink or Swim a little more at this point but that could change after more listens.

Initially, I was still favouring Sink or Swim but after a few more listens this really grew on me. Just wait.

I'll take it over Sink or Swim so far.

I was thinking of reviewing this after i listened to the stream a few times a couple of days ago, but i dont think i like the album enough to do so. To me its an average pop-rock record with a few really good songs (especially Old White Lincoln and Ferris Wheel), and a load more average ones that sound very similar. It has quite a cool 50s vibe to the sound which i like, but i think in the end theres too much reverb on everything. Overall, its quite good but not great in my opinion. I saw them on the front of Kerrang the other day, and though I was surprised I can see why, its accessible catchy music that non-metalhead Kerrang readers will like.This Message Edited On 08.18.08

Fair enough but I think the reverb is essential in putting across that cool 50s vibe you were talking about and, at least for me, it doesn't get overwhelming.

I enjoyed Sink or Swim so I'll check this out. Great review too.
