If you're the kind of person who notices the lyrics of a song first, prepare to be depressed. Park's second full-length album for Lobster Records will not make you smile after reading the lyric booklet (which has two songs that are number 5, apparently). Topics such as suicide, anger, rage, and depression fill every corner of most of the songs, yet each one manages to clearly and effectively convey its message without seeming depressing just for depression's sake. Songs like the hauntingly graphic "Which Wrist First" paint quite a picture, and prompted the band to add a very appropriate list of organizations that can help people in upsetting times. The eerie-sounding "Conversations With Emily" is something most of us can relate to, as lead vocalist Ladd Mitchell is comforted by being told that "it won't snow where she is going" (New Jersey?).

I love park...and Ladd haha. I was incredibly impressed with this work of genius. I'm in a band myself and when my fellow members and I took a listen of "It Won't Snow Where You're Going," we were blown away. Ladd's uniquite vocals only add to the wonderfully played guitar riffs and amazing drum work. My band and I suggest anyone and everyone who has heard of Park to give them more then a listen. the greatest midwest mathrock ever Awesome cd, park deserves more than they get this cd ispure brillance. i love it. i was amazed when i first herd it. i can listen to it over and over again and it never gets old,this cd is cream your pants good, its pure ahhhh My band has opened for these guys once and they blew my mind out of the back of my head. they are amazing "i was incredibly stoked on this album when i bought it, but it found its way in to every other cd in my library. once good and then it's old and you just don't really HAVE!! to pull it out anymore. track 7 is definitely the best. the gunshot sound effect is brilliance." not about a chick going to florida. going to hell. yes, Ladd can hit all those notes live, the only complaint I have is that they got rid of Gabe Looker(the screamer/bassist on IWSWYG), other than that,they are amazing live, and also they started here in Springfield,IL where I live i was incredibly stoked on this album when i bought it, but it found its way in to every other cd in my library. once good and then it's old and you just don't really HAVE!! to pull it out anymore. track 7 is definitely the best. the gunshot sound effect is brilliance. The only people in NJ are greasy Italians and mopey pussy emo fags. no. you're just in denial. Here's the thing about people who make fun of NJ: they are simply jealous, because they have to resort to unfounded insults involving trash and the NJ parkway, but in reality they know that where they live can not compare to the amazing state of NJ. it's ok, really. i'd be upset if i wasnt from NJ, too. 1) Superdude, you're an idiot. Find a hobby. You should'nt know that he knows that. You fucking kill my boner. You make me want to vomit. cock is the new pussy you shouldn't know that...now leave. if that actually is a reference to a girl moving to florida, that's way too similar to that song by nfg it'll never snow in florida or whatever it's called what does that mean? peas? Did you mean Please? as in please buy? or maybe Peace? Or just peas...like cool. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2575127816&ca tegory=2262&rd=1 "the screaming is awesome. they are one of few bands that should have had screaming all along and it helps add to the emo of the music." I'm listening to this CD right now, it sounds amazing. "Park rocks. This album's been a long time coming, and for me, it's well worth the wait. Best track: #7 (Dear Sweet Impaler). I also was taken aback by the use of occasional screams, but I can handle them. I wonder who's screaming though, it doesn't really sound like Ladd. I hope it's not the beginning of a trend for them though..." superchoade needs his ass kicked real bad. Actually, to clear things up, the review says "'It Wont Snow Where you're going' is a nice SOPHOMORE release from a band..." As if anyone cares. "the screaming is awesome. they are one of few bands that should have had screaming all along and it helps add to the emo of the music." the screaming is awesome. they are one of few bands that should have had screaming all along and it helps add to the emo of the music. Park rocks. This album's been a long time coming, and for me, it's well worth the wait. Best track: #7 (Dear Sweet Impaler). I also was taken aback by the use of occasional screams, but I can handle them. I wonder who's screaming though, it doesn't really sound like Ladd. I hope it's not the beginning of a trend for them though... I know Park has more than 2 albums, but if you'd read more carefully, you'll notice it said "second full length for Lobster Records". Oy. I guess me. Like I said, I don't like this band. But that type of reference is idiotic. Let me guess, the girl left him and his hoodie all alone? Actually, it's a reference to a girl moving to Florida. Who's the retard now? The guy below is a retard. I don't like this band, but its a reference to HELL, you jackass. This might be the worst title for an album EVER!!!! It Won't Snow Where You're Going Ugh. Come on guys. I'm sure it has some special meaning, but take a step back and look at it. And does it have a wadding pool? what the bloody hell is hoodie rock?a better description is needed please and also that term should be boycotted. Haha, I didn't even notice that the first time I read this. That is pretty bad... are you people SERIOUSLY using terms like 'hoodie-rock?' is 'emo' out already? It won't snow where you're going: hell. Pretty sparse review. I think this is a very good CD by one of the best hoodie-rock bands out there, in my opinion. If you liked their first record, you'll like this one, too. I was taken a little aback by the screams at first listen, but I think the one in particular on "Dear Sweet Impaler" after the breakdown REALLY works. Most of the cockasses on this site will hate and mock this stuff relentlessly, but if you're as big a fan of this style of music as I am, you'll love it. Between these guys, Over It, and Staring Back (and old Whippersnapper), I'd have to say Lobster fucking rules. This review was pretty good, but here's how I'd make it better: hooded sweatshirt rock? is this what reviewers are stooping to these days? I got this in the mail a couple weeks ago, it's pretty dull, oh well, not like I paid anything for it. yeah im goin to the cd release show with mock orange and the junior varsity. rock Meh, I saw these guys live once....not impressed. Lobster is becoming waaaaaay overrated. It snows in Jersey. |
