Wow you lucky bastard. That is a pretty bold claim to make my friend ! Did you like USAD?

Yes, I'm good friends with Will.
Loved USAD, new album is definitely going to be a success

That artwork is really cool. Highest of hopes for the record.

i don't get the hate for the artwork, i think it's so awesome. this record should be fantastic, im glad it comes out before their tour stops here!

I haven't been this excited for an album in a loooong time.

Most anticipated album of 2013 by far. Fantastic news.

I have HUGE hopes for this album. Can't wait at all

Not digging the artwork but it's still cool.

Stoked!

Potential to be one of the best pop-punk records of this year. USAD was crazy good.

Absolutely terrible artwork. Hoping this is better than Under Soil and Dirt, the instruments were great on that record but the vocals could use improvement. This band has the most annoying fans though.

most anticipated number ONE

stoked

You start by saying they're more hype than anything, diss them because of their fans and their attitude, then go on to state you enjoyed their record? What the fuck is wrong with you? The band sounds exactly the same live as on album, and their live show is intense. What more could you ask from a pop punk band?

Songs I heard were great.

The album was good for a debut LP from a pop-punk band, definitely quite a few notches above a lot of their 'peers'. What makes the album stand out from other albums is the crisp production. Live, however, the band does have a weird stage presence/attitude. The only way i can describe the crowd is that the kids at a TSSF show are usually the same kids "hardcore dancing" to the "breakdown" on Montrose by Man O.

Crisp Production vs. One Dimensional instruments and overpowering vocals is what is the downfall of this band live. If what you are into is hearing vocals, noise, and the crowd singing, that's cool, but i think the instruments are a big part of their sound on-record.

Also, the what more could you ask from a pop-punk band point is simply stupid. What keeps you from expecting more from a band simply because of genre? Maybe a live show like The Wonder Years or Fireworks? Maybe some more passion like Forever Came Calling? I don't know. Pop-punk is not a cop out for anything. Some pop-punk bads can put on amazing shows regardless of genre, and even skilled Metal players can put on a bad show.

Edit: the one thing I worry about for these guys is backlash from fans for not living up to the praise of USAD. It was truly a remarkable album during a time where there's a lot of bands pulling off a similar sound, and many have suffered from not being able to pull off as good of a follow up.

Yep I agree. USAD is the epitome of a catchy album, it'll be tough to top.
