Cotton candy is nothing but sugar and food colouring whipped up in one of those fancy machines to look like something substantial. When you get it wet or squish it, it shrinks down to just about nothing, but damn, it’s tasty. Most people grow out of cotton candy. “It’s for kids,” they say, as they venture far from the sticky sweet goodness of the floss. Me, I still love the stuff. American Hi-Fi is kind of like cotton candy: a guilty pleasure to some, a treat to others. It’s sweet, but not substantial.

hahaha..this album SUCKs.. I have to admit that I liked Art of Losing..but this Cd is horrible I can´t belive how they change their music from great to this. horrible review..horrible band...who's idea was this in the first place? The first singles off their last two albums were fun, if completely brainless. This shit right here is downright horrific. I couldn't even get all the way through the album. It just sounds completely lifeless and devoid of any passion, whatsoever. was this review even neccesary? Jones, Yeah..it was a joke (hence the 1 star score). It seemed funny when I was drunk. Fucking garbage. If you're over 13 and listening to this, you need to immediately commit suicide. someone told me bad religion is pop punk Some people call the Ramones pop punk, while people also call NFG pop punk..........I honestly don't see ANY similiarities between the 2 bands. The Ramones play fast, raw, simple songs with a catchy chorus. NFG (and their kin) play shitty, over-produced pop songs....nothing more....just like this shitty band. American HiFi aren't pop rock, The Beatles were pop rock and they were great, these guys are MTV bubblegum pop and nothing more. Pop-punk and/or pop-rock doesn't have to suck. There is no reason for pop to be a "guilty pleasure" unless it all sounded like this shit, which is does. I can pick up some good pop bands and not be ashamed like I would be listening to this. 4 stars? WHAT? I know comparisons are crucial and all... I want to fuck Erin Jackson's lights out. Pop punk, girls and crushes? Who did that? I thought pop punk was about nonsense and sniffing glue and hating the man. this site is punkNEWS not punkREVIEWS, the reviews aint punk just the news so stop bitching about the reviews, its not wait , this is the teenage dirtbag group? jesus christ this is whack Oh man, I'm so psyched for this album! "Teenage Dirtbag" was such a great song!! you're so PC you're blind. swingline is right. look at the people you know. god damn. there are exceptions but it's largely accurate. i used to like flavour of the weak, so i checked these guys out just for old times sake... not quite as good as they used to be in my opinion. Hey swingline, Erin Jackson disproves your theory. She's all about the music and I love her for it. Sure, she likes a few bad bands, but we'll forgive her for it. Wow......I hope that kid was joking.But, then again, some people really are just that stupid. I mean, look at the percentage of racists and homophobes we have in this country! It's alarming and depressing. I feel like Apu in that episode of the Simpsons where Homer invites him to the Civil War re-inactment to "be one of the Indians that we shoot"- Apu simply replies "I don't know where to begin on how that sentence is wrong!". I think his theory is funny, although really stupid. But then again, thats why its funny. In fact he was intentionally being funny. But just in case he wasnt.... Hey swingline. Women are people not generalizations i know my position is very unpopular but i just have to mention once again that i truly believe most women do not care about music, but mainly the aesthetics of the band members. how many women do you know that listen to good but unfashionable bands? think about it. my theory claims it will be a fraction so small that it's pointless to estimate and safe to assume all girls need and love to cook steaks and/or iron shirts. What the fuck were you thinking???? hey maybe I should start doing reviews! ...naw... This score is for the band, review and reviewer. Sometimes you have to draw lines in life: no to racism, no to sexism, and no to MTV pop-rock. He's too stoned....NINTENDO! Lo-Fi beat Hi-Fi any day of the week and No-Fi trumps both. wasn't this guy in veruca salt? Shut up, Erin. Are you serious? this is really bad. stuff like this is why i still don't trust a lot of the reviews on this site. pop rock. nothing punk about it. terrible. Is that guy on the cover doing the Dr. Evil thing with his little finger? What a douche. Is this a joke? Like that Mest review? YES... golly, I sure love American Hi-Fi. They're the band that got me into PUNK RAWK!!!! calling this "pop punk" is ridiculous, this is just candy coated MTV pop, there's no creativity and it looks like it was tailor made for the masses. where's a terrorist when you need one? the music industry could use a good jolt. i fuckin' hate sugar......drink your coffee black or don't drink coffee at all. fuck cream and milk as substitutes as well. you should like your coffee the way life is- bitter. This band should probably give up, and the frontman should reform Veruca Salt and stay behind the kit, where he fucking well should be. Amercan Hi Fi : Hearts On Parade - 4 Stars you have to give the reviewer props for having the balls to come here and give american hi-fi 4 stars... hot damn! I didn't know there was a such thing as "a classic American HI-Fi" song......blech. Fucking can't stand this band....and unless this is a 360 degree turn, with a different singer and everything, I'll hate it. Generic, genetically engineered plastic pop music- nothing more. -Brandon Sideleau fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band fucking rubbish band hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha homosexuality I'm sorry, but the cavity inducing pop punk kings in my world are still All American Rejects. Oh, Erin. I thought you were really something, then......... American Hi-Fi? Sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky sucky Art of Losing is one of my favorite guilty pleasure CDs. i havent heard it, but if its anything like the art of losing i wont like it much. wait......how does this get 4 stars? fuck...american hi fi? who are they kidding The blood is so xXxCoRexXx. i heard that single geeks get the girls and it is possibly one of the worst songs ever this cd must blow.....btw i kind of liked flavor of the week for some reason I wrote an analytical paper about My Big Fat Greek Wedding (don't ask) and one review that I cited used the same cotton candy analogy. I don't like the movie, I don't like American Hi-Fi, but I do like cotton candy. |
