Taken for what it is, The Early November's first long player isn't all that bad, but for the life of me, I just can't understand everyone's infatuation with acoustic songs. Sure, songs like the album's opener "Ever So Sweet" and "Dinner At The Money Table" are pretty and all that, but putting them together with the rest of this album accomplishes nothing more than smothering any momentum that the rest of the songs built. "Something That Produces Results" comes out of nowhere, and has a fantastic breakdown that really gets the listener excited for the rest of the album. "The Mountain Range In My Living Room" is interesting enough, but is immediately followed by three songs that are bland in comparison to the songs before them. After the next acoustic song, I forgot what I was listening to. People who liked this also liked:           Please login or register to post comments.

this cd is a classic. This CD beats their previous CD. i dont know what this reviewer is talking about. the album rocks and the new triple disc is going to kick ass! no...they choose the wrong songs for this album. They dont suck they just killed all momentum with the acoustic songs. The word Idiot really hurts my feelings to...please stop (sarcasim) Because they suck. I knew this site would rip on TEN. Thank you chris you are the only one i have seen on some of the boards i go to that isnt a dumb shit. this is quite possibly one of drive thru's best releases. I enjoy that Something That Produces Results song. this is probably one of my all time favorite records...if you cant tell that ace(the singer and songwriter) doesnt write in a smart, talented way, then you obviously dont know much about music...even if you dont like the style, you should still respect him and the whole band for the way they go about writing music...they keep things natural, nothing is autotuned or click tracked...its just them and their instruments, the way it should be...so give them some cred even if you dislike their style... if you like pop punk/emo rock like the starting line and the early november, etc. check out this really awesome band called Stanley at www.purevolume.com/stanley T.E.N. fuckin rocks "I want to hear you sad" is a great damn song its very catchey and if you dont like it then your just to embarrassed to admit it! "Open Eyes" is also a great song this is a very talented singer and guitar player and he is fuckin awesome acoustic.!! The Early November rock. this is a good c.d. that i've heard in a while!!! They rock!!! I love them. they should be getting more recognition. this is one of my favourite bands, i love their music it really calming, i dont enjoy listening to screamo all the time so this band is refreshing. i know they arent the most original but i still love them. You guys are so funny. I hope you all contract herpes of the anus. Have fun arguing like 3rd graders over a band nobody gives a crap about. Don't bother replying, as I probably won't even remember posting this message. So long, and good luck on your middle school graduations. i thought this was a pretty good album but i did think "for all of this" was better. For the guy who made the "for all the shit being talked.. theres not much to back it up.." comment below: Wow - I must say, I missed this gem first time around. And I say GEM because of Jesse's comments. funkisdead has to be one of my favorite people on this freakin' website. whereas this score is for hot topic. i can see its merit in smaller towns where kids have no alternative but to buy records from their mall. This score is for kool keith, jesse, and icapped2pac!!! fucking yeah!!! i'll tell you why people talk shit about hot topic. think about it for one second. if you've got half of a brain then this will come to mind. what is one of the majoy premises of punk? anti-establishment. what is hot topic? an establishment. what is punk rebelling against? pre-packaged mass-sold clothes and music. hot topic, the worst store in the world, does a friggin wonderful job of bringing punk music and clothes to the mainstream where it never should be bought. it packages conformity which is another main thing that punk music is totally against. punks do not conform. and hot topic represents utter conformity. my suggestion to you is stop being biased since you work there. and look at the real picture. hot topic is no better than abercrombie or american eagle. in fact it is worse, becuase at least those stores aren't trying to deny what they are. Who said anything about Hot Topic? I love how you kids always talk shit about Hot Topic, when I know you all shop there...I don't see why anyone wouldn't wanna shop there, or at least stop in and check out the music... it's either critics controlling coversations or it's money blind robots "I'd Rather Have My Balls Put Up On A Dresser and Beaten With a Spiked Bat." for all the shit being talked.. theres not much to back it up.. Oooh...I need a one up.... YEAH BABY! Funk is Dead? More like, The Early November Sucks Balls! jesse had waaaay too much time on his hands. i dont what all of you guys think but this record wasnt emo enough for me personally The Room's Too Cold? More like This CD is Too Shitty. The Early November? I heard this band was supposed to open for Andrew W.K., but he thought they were too hardcore. This is the same record The Beastie Boys put out 15 years ago. Fight for Your Right to be a Shitty Band! BWAHAHA! Drive Thru Records? More like The Dollar Menu Records! Drive Thru Records? Talk about Corporate Thru Records! The Early November? They're just riding the Kool Keith wave. Drive Thru Records? More like, Crap Thru Recrods! The Early November? More like, The Minions of G.W.Bush! WOOO!! The Early November? More like The Shitty McShit Shits! ZING! The Early November? Talk about trying to rip of the Blood Brothers! The Early November? More like, The End of October! HA! The Room's Too Cold? More like, This Album is Too....COLD! HA!! The Room's Too Cold? More like, This Album Sucks! The Early November? More like The Shitty November! ZING! The Early November? More like The End of This Band's Career! BAH! i would just like to say the early november kicks coheed and cambria's annoying talentless ass any day of the week. hahahaha absolute punk dot net is the biggest fucking joke on the net, at least the people who regularly post on this site have good taste, and you know what allister is a fun band, fun pop punk that doesnt take itself to seriously, better than this corny shit hahahaha absolute punk dot net is the biggest fucking joke on the net, at least the people who regularly post on this site have good taste, and you know what allister is a fun band, fun pop punk that doesnt take itself to seriously, better than this corny shit the people who come to this site are the biggest douche bags who make fun of everything that isn't cool to like. at least absolutepunk has a better community that is only half full of douche bags (most of which come from this site). This score is for the bigot. Rot and die. And leave this site, please. I could comment on your lack of intellegence but that is too easy and i'm sure you already know that. haha you are all a bunch of 15 year old niggers. this band has more fuckin heart than you will ever have in your shitty fuckin hardcore bands. if you have noticed, they dont give a fuck what you say, cause they made a good fucking record, way better than any of the shit you listen to, svaes the day, tbs, the new SHITTTTTTY thursday, the SHITTTY coheed, youre all fags. their music is sincere and honest. and if you havent noticed they dont give a fuck about money, at their shows all their shit is always cheaper than every other band there. get your faggot head out of your ashsole and take a look around. youll realize how much of a fag you are soon....you will. dude, homegrown has been around like, forever. dude, i think you missed the point. homegrown haven't been around that long at all. yeah homegrown have been making records since before that moron was born... since before most of the kids that are into this band were born, probably. "crappy and unoriginal?? too bad they're not more creative like allister, huh? and to the people that they didn't like them live, who did you prefer at the show: allister or homegrown?? give me a break, i saw them and thought they were the highlight of the show." he is also the person who threatened to sue kids on a message board for making fun of him. Thus making him out to be a bigger tool than once thought and spawning the term "tate-core". jason tate is a cool guy and you guys are a bunch of douchebags. "they are completely unoriginal and are just crappy in general...The only good things on drive thru are Rx Bandits and Allister" this score is for the word "grundel" I call my grundel a tate sometimes. lets vote on changing the name from tatecore to tardcore. jason tate is probably flattered that he has his own genre of music They did do it on purpose, and they got permission for it from the Get Up Kids themselves. No biggie. crap.crap.crap. e11 is officially the gheyist abbreviation for a band name, ever. How can you trash allister then state that the early november or as some of you dorks have called them"e11" is different from the rest? e11, hahahahahahahaha...hahahahahaha guy down there who said the only good bands on drive thru were the rx bandits and and allister. uhh if you like allistrer then you must like every other band on drive thru and every run-of-the-mill pop-punk band around becuase thats exactly what they are. how canb you trash a band with TALENT like E11 and then claim to like allister. i just wanted to let you all know that this cd gets respect because none of the vocals or guitars were put through auto tune, and its pretty fuckin hard to sing in key like that. so prop E11 correction, You guys are all too critical. Open your eyes and ears and shut your dumb fucking mouths. Music is about music, not about categorizing, disrespect, and ignorance. I dont give a flying fuck if you dont like the CD, just have some mother fucking decency. you know what? This band sucks, they are completely unoriginal and are just crappy in general. Stop defending shitty bands, im not punk nor do I claim to be. By the way these guys are also complete assholes, you can tell their just in it for the fifteen year old girls to bang in their van. The only good things on drive thru are Rx Bandits and Allister heeheehoohoo doctor phil had the worst tv show ever, but this score is for ranch flavored fritos. they're corn chips, for christ's sake. this shit is ridorkulous. they should change the name of this website to hottopicnews.org Backstreets back alright!!!! "The Room's Too Cold, but you're so hot" is the worst song title ever. it took me ages to find the comment with the "u". but it's really not a big issue. when people will start putting effort into changing things that really make a difference i don't know. "Why do people care if others spell you like "u"?" oh yea, the ep was better, i agree perfect review, my thoughts exactly. i'm not a member of the 'i hate all that is drive thru' coalition,nor do i worship all that is drive thru. this band has a lot of potential, and the singer has a great voice, for being 19/20 these guys wrote a great record. i'm looking forward to the next album. but opening an album w/ an acoustic track is a bad idea. i saw them live and they were terribly bland, average poppunk fare. It is essentially what you would expect from drivethru. get the new larry arms instead Why do people care if others spell you like "u"? lol who cares if people are lazy and don't want to look intelligent since they care so much about what people think.. besides that the album in my mind was great. i actually like the cd.. more emo than the ep.. but still good. i do agree that at point its only the singers voice that saves the song.. but its still worthwhile.. pick it up or just dont bitch about it untill you listen a few times.. get past the Drive Thru thing.. there already is a TEN acoustic CD and it is by far their best release to date. it has an earlier, and might i add....waaaaaaay better version of Ever So Sweet. this, i believe its an 8 song CD can only be purchased online or at one of the shows, if there are copies still around. "I was a little disappointed in this album. I thought the E.P. was alot stronger." actually Steel Train is the best band on shit thru. their live show is amazing. "every band except for finch and TEN on drive thru suck horribly" Damn it all. I was going to defend this cd. I was going to say that this cd was really good and shouldn't be judged based on the fact that drive thru released it becuase the fact is every band except for finch and TEN on drive thru suck horribly. But then that fucking 10 year old kid down there using his 'u r 2 kewl' type speech had to try to defend it first. Kid, go back to middle school, shop at hot topic, listen to avril and good charlotte, and keeping talking how you do. But your attempt to defend the early november for the rest of us early november fans failed miserably becuase now everyone thinks that little kids like you are the only ones who like them. I hate how every time genres like this are attempted to be defended, it has to be some fifteen year old using the "u" abbreviation, if you want to call it that. Am I the only person here with bad taste that bothers to type out "you?" I agree with the person a few posts below. This album was disappointing. I think the EP was a lot stronger. It had more edge to it as well. I waiting in anticipation for this album and I was very put out with what it turned out to be. I saw this band live, and it was boring to say the least. This score is the average of the cover art (2/10) and the grammatical and logical skills of the kid below me (0/10) y the fuck does everyone rip on emo or pop punk, u really need to get lives, u probably never even heard the cd. fuck that, what do u listen to that's "punk?" you really don't have to be fucking gay all the time and rip on bands that are signed on a record label, i'd like to see you make it that far. assholes what the fuck makes this emo? What makes this "punk"? This album should be titled "The Album Is Too Shitty" Worst band name ever. I was a little disappointed in this album. I thought the E.P. was alot stronger. AH i hate this...it seems like everyone who reviews on this site are emo/pop punk haters. to much start stop mombojombo on this album for me, the pace is to fast they just wont last |
