Can two bands following that formula sound alike? Absolutely, but I don't think it applies here at all.

Let's take, for example, a track that from each album that represents each band and their respective sound. How about we go with "Nineteen With Neck Tatz" (a pop-punk song that incorporates hardcore elements) from Enemy of the World, and "You Be Tails, I'll Be Sonic" (a combination of pop-punk and metalcore) from What Separates Me From You? Does that sound fair?

Do those two songs sound at all alike to you? I didn't think so.

I'm not trying to knock you, your opinion, or this review, I just completely disagree with that statement.

Well let's take that a different way and compare "Neck Tatz" with "All I Want" or "It's Complicated". All of a sudden the two bands sound pretty similar, don't they? I wasn't trying to compare them ultimately, I was just saying that they are somewhat similar and that I think FYS is a better band than ADTR. I like them both very much, I just think that the guys in Four Year Strong are a bit more talented, and noticeably the vocals are much more impressive in their music than on an A Day to Remember album. It's cool if you disagree with it or whatever. Neither of the albums in discussion will even be in my top five, this year is too good.

That's not really a fair comparison. "All I Want"/"It's Complicated" don't incorporate any of the band's metalcore influence at all, and if you look at their discography, I'd say it's fair to say that's a big, if not vital, part of their sound. The songs that were chosen before incorporate all elements of each band's sound.

I Just Dont Get Why They Only Gave Us 10 Songs!!

Too bad the top releases you have are awful. Those albums shouldn't be in anybody's top 50 list.

Great review Thomas. I still need to get around to checking this out.

I never said that. but they at least go outside the box with instrumentation, and some of the wittiest lyrics I've heard in a long time. It's not a life changing record, but it's a great one with plenty of lasting impact.
I listened to WSMFY, and the only track I could finish was "It's Complicated".

Best given score, totally agree. Just waiting for some 16 year old girl to review it and give it a 100%

That sucks.
That paper wasn't this review, was it?
