Here's the order of the tracks

1. creature
2. shameful
3. our sick story (thus far)
4. the theft
5. we stand up
6. ex's and oh's
7. your private war
8. my fork in the road (your knife in my back)
9. untitled finale

the clean vocals are definitely better in this album than the previous.

ew.Atreyu.

The "Atreyu" sound? That's a joke.

Only 9 tracks? That's kind of bogus...lest they're long.

Long Atreyu songs? Let me express my opinon on that...


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The songs are longer then before, but still only 3 and half minutes for most. Brandon really improved his singing on this album, Alex still doesn't have a good scream but he uses it less.

lol at cravinov13

I hope this "new" sound is a good one.

The album itself in total is roughly 33 minutes long.

Its definately a improvement over their previous releases in my view.. its more of a enjoyable listen to 'The Curse' and 'Suicide Notes....'...

And also, yes the 'clean vocals' are better, I've noticed that there was a lot of angst towards this in the reviews I've read haha... but all in all... its a improvement, but nothing revolutionary.

there is no new sound, if anything they just went for an even more accessible sound than before. Stay far away, it sounds like they scrapped this together in a couple of hours.

Their past albums were ok but 33 minutes? and atreyu with a new sound? dunno if its going to be better than the curseThis Message Edited On 03.07.06

i hope some progress was made.

Eek, more Atreyu? *break up. PLEASE*

They have a slightly new sound, it's not completely new like A7X going from WTF to COE, but it's different. For an example listen to Ex's and Oh's, that shows a huge amount of improvement.

Nope still slightly emo look at the song titles, Ex's and Oh's, and Your Sick Story. They aren't true emo, but slightly.

Ex's and Oh's isn't that bad, but it does feel oddly like something's missing. After a listen or two, it becomes pretty bland and forgettable.
They seem to have lightened up a bit in terms of heavyness, so I don't think we should expect anything like Bleeding Mascara or You Eclipsed By Me on this album.
Oh yeah, and I saw them live last year, and Brandon was fat. Norma Jean opened and just completely blew them into another galaxy, despite their songs being terrifyingly loud and vicious. I swear, afterwards Atreyu looked scared to come out onstage.
Made me giggle. Then bang my head. Good times.

I got the atreyu cd since 2 weeks ago; and I have to say that though the album sounds more emo it have a lot of great elements like alex melodic voice (that I never had listened before) besides the theft is (though is a completely emo song) a new sound that they havent experimented before.. I know that is a little bit short... but they made their biggest effort and the lyrics are great less of course (exs and ohs...)
