Fuck yes!

Does anyone know who they're recording with?

A less sucky record? Hope so

I feel like I've seen this posted four or five times now.

If they stick to making songs that are more in the vein of "Guts" than "I Feel Like Dancing" or "Time Bomb", then they will regain my respect.

Hope it will be better than Dirty Work, I'm always ready for some good and catchy pop punk...

Here's something that Rian mentioned on reddit before to give you an idea of what they're aiming for:

"I hear you man, and I'll even agree that the cohesivness of the record was lacking. The 'problem' lies in the fact that we jumped around to different producers, so even if songs were similar, sonically there was a difference. We won't be doing that this next record so that won't be the issue. You know Avron mixed Dirty Work right? Hell of a guy."

Also he said this to me after I said mentioned how I didn't exactly like the direction the band was taking:

"I think you'll really enjoy the new record, I mean that, not just saying it. I appreciate the candid comment, and I understand where you are coming from."



So I am definitely looking forward to the new record.

I've been wondering as well.

Mike Green.

Apparently they're recording in LA...surprise, surprise. I'm hoping either John Feldmann or Matt Squire is behind this.

Just want to mention that this was in reply to yours truly. You're welcome...

Can't wait. I want an album full of 'Keep The Change...', but will be perfectly content with anything from them!

High hopes for this one. I feel like it's gonna be something incredible, that will not only earn back the respect they had before, but wil pushl them into 'that place' where they should (and could) be by now.
I even liked Dirty Work for what it was. I feel a good part of that negative reception could have been avoided if "I Feel Like Dancin'" didn't exist. It's a decent pop rock album. But it's not ATL.

These guys are incredibly talented and deserving of everything they have earned so far. DW was just a bad move. Next one's sure to blow away everyone's balls.

Time Bomb and one of the bonus tracks are the only songs from this album I sync to my iPhone. I'll give their new stuff a listen, but I think I've moved past ATL.
