the song "Dream, Dream, Dream" is so fucking good. This album is more in my liking than their previous ones.

I liked this album....and all there other ones. Why does everyone hate a band that changes their sound? I think you all just love to bitch and complain about everything unless its Minor Threat or Black Flag...STFU! and change your music tastes if you can't handle the new stuff

It's not that they changed their sound...It's just that they lost their intensity. You could hear their passion in their earlier works but on this record they seem to be going through the motions. Why wasn't their producer saying "OK but this time with feeling".

Even Pennywise who hasn't changed their sound in well over a decade still manage to put out records with passion. I would have rather seen these guys break-up then ruin the (up until now) kick ass Bombshell Rocks discography.

Well, if you like a band for their certain sound, and then they change it for whatever reason, sometimes it just doesn't grab you the same way the original sound did, so you keep listening to the older cds, but move past the new ones.

it's odd that so many people hate an album that doesn't sound the same as the artists previous work. yet if the band keep sounding the same over the years that's not cool either.

Great album. Great band. I hope all the best for them

the D7 cover is worse, i'll agree. just... awful

"worst album cover ever...

looks like n'sync trying their hand at punk"

Nah... Look at D7s album cover... or that band that made "Been There, Smoked That"... Thats worse covers for ya, but this one sucks too... The Greatest Album cover of all time is probably PiL's first album... Ahhh... I love Lydon's face being the first thing I see every time I want to listen to a record.

Street Art Gallery blew me away and this album just blew me.

Bombshell Rocks rocks!!!

This band has some kick ass songs, but for some reason they can't put together a complete album.

To clarify, I didn't call Bad Religion poppy. I called out three different things that I think this album sounds like - Bad Religion, Millencolin, and the poppy whiny girlfriend thing. I like Bad Religion (and Millencolin, for that matter).

Give me the odds! dont mean a thing to me!

that album(s. A. G. ) is worth my time and listen. The last one sucked and this one sounds like it does too!

I had such high hopes for this. I wonder if all the Rancid comparisons got the best of them and b=made them change their sound. Biggest downfall since H2O Go.

-sickboi

Bad Religion poppy and singing about girlfriends?! hahahahaha, Bad Religion may play some "poppy" punk rock, but not "poppy" in the term thrown around today....and most of their stuff is more political punk, hardcore punk and just fast punk rock. They aren't anything like Millencolin. Greg's voice is amazing and the lyrics automatically throw off any "pop" comparison. Plus the band itself has more talent than a billion "pop punk" bands put together. Bombshell Rocks aren't al that great and the ysound NOTHING like BR.

I've got all their records an d I don't think this is a bad one. I like their new style and I don't think this sounds like Millencolin or something. This a great album.

"But when a band makes a radical change to their sound that just happens to make it more mainstream, it's hard to argue that it was done for purely creative reasons. "

Before people would complain about bands changing sounds for success, they might want to think about the impossibility of 80% of these bands ever becoming popular, before they say bumfuck band X has sold out when they're parents dont even show up to there shows yet.

wyzo

"Out of the cold" may be very derivative of bad religion, but how can you not find it to be a great song, regardless. This is a very poppy album, but considering the lack of consistency on there older albums, I think its an improvement.

"Next into "On My Way", and - what's this, Emo?"

If you think thats emo, bob dylan is no different than chris carraba.

WHEN DID POP-PUNK OR MELODIC PUNK BECOME INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM EMO?

I swear theres a guy who says the ataris are not pop-punk, there emo.

WAKE UP!

Being in love is not emo, being sad is not emo, being pretentious about both is.

its poppy, its not emo. And a good hook is not a crime.

wyzo

I have the first album, loved it, and now have a couple songs off of this album. After hearing "On My Way" and "Begging For Mercy," I'm pretty excited to hear the rest of it, even if it really isn't the Bombshell Rocks we all know and love. "On My Way" still kicks ass, I really like it, but I probably won't buy the album. I wished they had stayed on their street punk thing for a while longer, they were good at it, and fairly distinctive too.

-El Vaquero

look, it's vin deisil!

buy the first album. it's good.

i havent heard any of their albums, but i have to say they are a good band to see live...i enjoyed them better than millecolin when they toured together...just my opinion....

i saw them for free, and if i wasn't rushed out, i would have bought something from them. this was last april, and i've still yet to pick anything up.

which one should i go for?

cheesy artwork

I really love this bands last two albums and even considered getting the guy w/ dynamite logo on the Street Art Gallery disc tattoed on me. I'm glad I didn't. While I wish this album would have been better it seems like the natural progression for a band with a weak fanbase like they have. Fuck, this is a bummer.

I agree a talented band but Cityrats and alleycats didn't do justice to me. I'm glad I passed this release in a store a month ago.
