The thing that makes the All-American Rejects -- the band JamisonParker bit so hard on their EP -- tolerable in some aspect is perhaps their bounciness and flow. What makes Number One Fan -- an inarguably similar artist with probably a cloned following -- so tolerable, and at times, enjoyable, is not only their ability to build songs, but nod a bit towards Clarity-era Jimmy Eat World. Sleepwalker is completely void of these details, and most any other redeeming qualities.

jamisonparker is one of the best bands ever! i love their songs each one reminds me of something in my life. i love Jamison Covington and Parker Case!! i`m going to marrie Jamison just watch! "Great album...it almost makes me cry that the junk posted on AP.net's forums is actually more intelligent than the retarded drivel here." Great album...it almost makes me cry that the junk posted on AP.net's forums is actually more intelligent than the retarded drivel here. Fuck that. What-a-Burger is where its at. Bullets too. The frat comment is actually very similar to the military. Everyone rags on the military... and as Paul stated, there are cool guys and there are assholes. Before joining up, we were normal people - and we still are. In the dorms on an AFB, you'll hear everything from 50 Cent to Zombie Apocalypse (though it was always me playing ZA..) i definitley have to agree with paul on a lot of what he said, but especially the 'paying for friends' part, which i forgot to address. it really annoys the crap out of me when people say that. like paul said, all that money goes to doing stuff for the frat, it's not like it all goes to one dude who then 'allows' you to hang out with him. FRAT STEREOTYPES BY PAUL i din't think you thought i had anything to do with AE-Pi, just wanted to make sure no one else did either. as far as the hookah, it was about 2:30 in the morning, we were all smashed, and i just picked it up from the kids room and carried it out. we called a cab a few blocks away, put it in the trunk, went back to the dorms, and sat there trying to figure out what to do with it. this thing was solidly 3 or 4 feet tall, so i can't just leave it on the floor in the middle of the room (our RA was a dick). so the next morning we gave it some kids in the building next door, they eventually got it taken away from them by their RD. I work at Popeye's so I honestly subsist on a 90% fried chicken diet and I feel like shit all the time. I'm gonna agree with the "fuck fast food" sentiment, I probably won't eat fast food more than about once a month when I hear back from someplace and get a new job. It honestly depends. so you guys, are all the stereotypes about frat guys true? The beer pong our Chi Phi guys played with Binghamtons was a lot of fun, we played 12 cup I think, and there was no rules against blowing, bouncing or anything, but nobody really did any of that. first and foremost, please don't think i affiliate myself with kids in AEPi, i hate them more than almost anyone, but they have thrown some killer parties. i just do my best to not actually intereact with anyone in the frat. i stole a HUGE hookah from their place once during a party, i consider that to be doing my part to bring them down (that and not paying for ups at parties). ah, i thought tehy would have a bigger place. AE-Pi had a huge abandoned warehouse downtown a few years ago, i remember there was a 12 kegger there one night, it smelled like piss and sweat, and it was packed to the point where you almost couldn't walk. one of the best nights of my life. i never really knew anyone who lived downtown. i stayed in a house on cleveland street for a while, 53 to be exact. the whole block was college kids, it was quite the shithole. we were robbed once while we were all upstairs, someone just walked in, took the tv and the microwave and walked out teh backdoor. we heard it, but of course no one had the balls to go downstairs and do anything. It's an apartment downtown, and it's right next to this small little place, it looks like a pizza place, but they have subs too, there's no sign or anything, just a counter in the back of it. It doesn't have the letters or anything on it, it's 3 story apartment, and next door is the bar that the guys have. i feel sorry for you guys who think taco bell is the best fast food around. on the west coast, we got del taco, tommy's, in and out and probably more i haven't found yet. anchors Pittsburgh sounds pretty ass-tacular. Almostpunkenough, yo kenjamin......shut the fuck up! no one wants to hear that shit mom. you will all envy my chiseled buttocks and once a month triple-bypass free lifestyle when you are old and fat. Sonic burgers are way overrated. They do have tater tots though. anchors? where in upstate NY are you? i wnt to binghamton university and the surrounding area had pretty much every chain resturaunt/fast food place that the rest of the state has, except white castle i guess. i'm not familiar with long island at all, but i know there's a checkers in co-op city in the bronx, a few blocks away from popeyes, i think it's all part of bay plaza. regardless, it's the only checkers i've ver seen, and you always wind up waiting at the drive thru for half an hour. Taco Bell is the best national fast food, but those of you in the West know the deal about Del Taco. Del Taco is even better. I think the Taco Bell fries thing was only in certain areas. Some of my family lives in Northern VA, and they didn't have them there, but Richmond (central VA) had them everywhere. Upstate NY has very little to choose from, just the regulars. McD's, BK, Wendy's, and sometimes Taco Bell, KFC, and Long John Silvers. A. taco bell had fries??? Fuck that. What-a-Burger is where its at. Bullets too. Can we talk about In and Out Burger? Thanks. Speaking of Taco Bell, I think I am one of the few people that sincerely misses the fries. Those Supreme Fries rule. taco bell is still the best fast food. They actually have Checkers up in New York? God damnit. Why have I not known this? Fuck Checkers. Rally's crushes that shit. Florida kids and some other kids will know what I'm talking about here, but Checkers fries are where it's at. Mcdonald's fries? No way. so whos' excited for hockey!?!?!?! i'm a simple man. gordita's and tacos. Three words: Cheesy Gordita Crunch. Score's for that. god i've eaten so many crunchwrap supremes in the last week, i think i'm getting sick of them. bring back the chicken enchilada grilled stuft burrito, that was the best shit t-bell ever had. Score is for my luck in never having heard this band. "this site is turning into gossip column. score is for an opinion of something else entirely from the album... such as a crunchwrap supreme." great record this site is turning into gossip column. score is for an opinion of something else entirely from the album... such as a crunchwrap supreme. I think its funny in that sad kind of way. BSD IM'd me, with what was supposed to be a parody of how I review. That's was supposed to be written "from me." He's trying to be clever, and cut down my writing style, and failing horribly. Anchors: what the fuck are you talking about? who the hell wants to read about this crap!?!?!? WHERE IS THE ADOLESCENTS REVIEW!!!???????????!!!!!????????!!!!!! In case there was any discretion as to whether or not BSD is obsessed with me, I came back from mowing my lawn to find this at my away message; fuck every last one of you haters. if you can't appreciate good, solid songwriting and the subtle and poignant lyrical obscurity confined with their impeccably diligent song structure, than go beat yourselves (or beat off) to minor threat and the bad brains. i'm 6'5" 240 lbs. try telling me shit like that on the streets and i'll tear your ass apart. fuck every last one of you haters. if you can't appreciate good, solid songwriting and the subtle and poignant lyrical obscurity confined with their impeccably diligent song structure, than go beat yourselves (or beat off) to minor threat and the bad brains. fuck every last one of you haters. if you can't appreciate good, solid songwriting and the subtle and poignant lyrical obscurity confined with their impeccably diligent song structure, than go beat yourselves (or beat off) to minor threat and the bad brains. haha, i know, i'm just being sarcastic about it...its hard not to in a situation like this no, paul. i'll give you everything except "ok to use gay as an insult". no no no,,, in this case it is totally ok to use gay as an insult. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Dudes kiss other dudes to this music, whack. Omg angst jones totally wins. Oh and anchors, your reply made me quietly chuckle to myself. to the guy two posts down. i know i'm beating a dead horse here. wow my comeback was already made by your amazing spelling :p cheers buddy So what I'm hearing here, is that a very generic copy band is being compared to ... i think Brian was generous by giving it a one star review. the Punknews staff should have negative scores for shit like this. wait a second... Anchors- i hate myself for liking this as much as i do....and i think it's merely catchy derivative shit. the only redeeming quality is the slight catchiness. Ken; "Everyone needs a good cry album sometimes So on absolutepunk.net it says "fans of my bloody valentine should take note..." Would I, a huge fan of MBV, find enjoyment in this? What brought about such comparisons? Was it written in the press sheet? Is Jason Tate a fucking moron? i think this is a really good band!! u can realte to the lyrics in dif ways!! i just embarrassed myself... "All American Rejects mixed with The Early November. totally bent but I like it as I like both those bands. Everyone needs a good cry album sometimes whether you all will admit it or not, yes punk rock will always kick its ass but it doesnt stop it being tolerable to change your taste from time to time." I'd rather cry while listening to American Football. It's still blatantly homosexual, but in a manly-construction-worker kind of way. Everyone needs a good cry album sometimes All American Rejects mixed with The Early November. totally bent but I like it as I like both those bands. Everyone needs a good cry album sometimes whether you all will admit it or not, yes punk rock will always kick its ass but it doesnt stop it being tolerable to change your taste from time to time. Oh black people have had their share of musical embarassments, too. as soemone below said ...this is the gayest sex in the butt. This makes me embarrassed to be white more than likely because everyone over at absolutepunk creams their pants at the sound of their name. I'm glad that this is the first thing I read this morning. I got this album from interscope for a review but this shit fucking stinks... it's awesome when the headlining review gets one star oh and this band is shit. tied in first with all-american rejects for being the gayest sex in the butt. or something. "I really liked this cd, this is probobly one of my fav of the year so far. "I really liked this cd, this is probobly one of my fav of the year so far. I really liked this cd, this is probobly one of my fav of the year so far. you realize this alone will give somersets new album a bad review over there (if it wasnt gettin one already)...not that you should lose sleep over it or that this should have gotten a higher score...just sayin queers songs for the queer guy ah damnit, i always forget to score the album after previewing my comment. DTR wanted this dude to sign to rushmore so bad... ummm scott... you said boys night out is one of the best records of 05. you have no right to bash this. ummm scott... you said boys night out is one of the best records of 05. you have no right to bash this. I thought they were gay emo fags. I get the feeling that the guy in the background on the cover really regrets hitching his wagon to the guy in the foreground's star. |
