hmmm i should probably have a listen.

This album seems so far away. I can't wait for 8/26.

Great Review! I am excited to listen to this album, I am not fond of the title though it sounds like the new X Files movie title

fast? raw? emotional punch? count me in. you sure know how to tease a man, drew.

Excited to hear this. Hope it lives up the hype. I need a refreshing pop-punk album.

Solid review Drew. Looking forward to hearing the album.

Hit The Lights deserves some credit also for creating quality pop punk in this scene

I agree with you as well. Skip School was an album I thought was excellent. Anyways I think Drew wrote a nice quality review here. I was not expecting him to say that this hits fast the whole way for the most part. I was kind of expecting there to be one or two slow numbers for some reason. I also agree with the person who said This Could Be A Possibility had its moments. From the couple songs I heard live, the demo of Holiday, and now this review, my expectations and anticipation have risen. So stoked for this now. Maybe this and HTL can tide me over until New Found Glory comes out.

im still excited!

Pop punk for life yo!

Thanks I never listened to these guys but now I'm gonna be sure to check this album out.

I really cant wait for this album. Im gonna explode. I loved TCBAP and I think im gonna love this album even more.

nice review especially the last paragraph

good review. whenever i hear these guys i remember what it is i LOVE about pop-punk. they just nail it and make me think about the first time i heard albums like Leaving Through the Window, New Found Glory, and Say It Like You Mean It and was just floored. i can't wait for this album to drop.

there is much truth to this statement. it's bands like HTL and Valencia, who place an emphasis on being great dudes that make honest, compelling music, that will take pop-punk back from a lot of the other newer bands who are (much) more style than substance.

There are plenty of bands infinitely better than Valencia keeping pop-punk alive. Most of them are older, seasoned bands though, or new groups formed from the demise of previous bands.

It's a well-written review but honestly, I cannot understand the buzz surrounding this band or Hit the Lights at all.

the difference between hit the lights and valencia is that the htl buzz isn't deserved. valencia's new album is 10x better than htl's
