Admit it, there's something really quite satisfying about proving someone wrong. The only thing better than proving someone else wrong, though, is proving YOURSELF wrong. Let's say one of your favorite bands has a new release coming out, and you're completely psyched for it. You go to the record store the day it comes out and you buy it. You come home, and you rip the packaging open, and you put it in your stereo. Shortly thereafter, a look on your face appears, akin to the expression you've got on your face after you've finished watching the scene in "Waterworld" where Kevin Costner drinks his own (albeit, filtered) urine.

i good cd tho i think walking on glass was the best song this time next year is their best material this ep was ok...i really liked 'walking on glass' at the time and my roomate loved 'hang grenade' ( i think we even covered it at some point in our old band) "this sounds like everything else on drive thru-records, the kind of music girls listen to when they pillowfight" I saw these dudes live. They were energetic and I only knew one or two songs I had heard on comps. I knew them when I saw them live, so they were catchy enough. This Time Next Year was practically their best album. They completely lost all that energy with the release of this EP. Too bad, they were pretty good at what they were doing. boogie noogie bunch is da bomb... Their fatal mistake was signing to drive-thru. The score is for Vinnie's new band I Am the Avalanche. The Movielife was so damn good. Great EP! Hand Grenade is so damn catchy! this cd always seemed like they just gave in, like they were a pop-punk band pretending to be a hadcore band and they one day they just said fuck it, lets make a pop record. wonderful results actually. they were actually one band that i thought just kept getting better as time went on, though they weren't getting any bigger. they would play detroit and have an amazing sold out show in the shelter when capacity was 400 and then play to 200 people in st andrews, then sell out the shelter again 2 months later. it was really weird actually This time next year is one of my favorite albums ever. Pinky swear is such a tune. he look. the two kens posted one after the other. cute The 19 year old girls who live below me eat this shit up. They don't seem to like World Burns to Death, however. my friend knew this kid that wrote a letter of thanks to the movielife saying that he was extremely depressed and suicidal and Vinnie's lyrics helped him out of his depression. The Movielife sent him a whole bunch of free shit and a personal letter of thanks in return. Weird, I've had this album forever on my shelf, and I don't know if I've listened to it yet. I'll have to get around to that. Thanks for bringing it back to my attention. "[PFresh is] the cutest muddah to eva put on a mask!" - Crossbones "why would you go home THEN listen to the cd. you are obviously young and/or poor..." wow, i did the same thing, i hated this at first, now its a gem why would you go home THEN listen to the cd. you are obviously young and/or poor... in which case, you opinion means nothing. this time next year, and 40 hour train back to penn. what was the other? Good pre-breakup interview right here with Vinnie. The first time I saw them live was in a dive in downtown KC, and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Tons of energy. saw them live a couple years ago. not too impressive. i remember the singer being really stiff... not much crowd interaction. they also played a cover of some song that i remember thinking "these guys have no business covering this song". if anyone knows what i'm talking about, please tell me the cover song. good album. Average pop music. Another band that never reached its potential, due to signing to a shitty label. This Time Next Year was classic, It's Go Time was good, but the others were definitely lacking. This EP was far too poppy, though there are a couple great tracks on there. And Forty-Hour Train, while not bad, was definitely a disappointment and way overproduced. yuck this crap sounds like alien ant farm.. - no The only real decent song of theirs was Hand Grenade. I just spent the last few hours listening to the Mummies, the Spaceshits, Teengenerate...but all that really matters it that P Fresh and PBR rule. this time next year is a great album No, they never ever did top This Time Next Year, I really liked that album. I was so bummed when they moved to drive through, recorded this and I popped it in...it was straigh up bland drive through pop punk. All the edge was lost. 40 Hour Train was decent, but really overproduced and nowhere near 'This Time'. They put on a really good live show though. They never topped This Time Next Year. Score is for that album. yuck this crap sounds like alien ant farm.. i agree about his voice, but i think the i am the avalanche stuff is the best work he's done. Never really liked Vinnie's voice all that much... |
