atreyu's best. although that may not seem like much of a glowing review, it's the best way to sum it up.

no filler, no bullshit, and some excellent guitar playing. sounds like a good listen to me

Would have been better if it was a little longer
Throughly enjoyed it. Good riffs, some nice clean vocals from Alex came as a suprise.

Does that Will piece of shit still post on the site? You know, the know-it-all high schooler? Hahaha. What a tool.

I'm still kinda in disbelief as to how this album received a 9.

A few more songs would have been nice, but I thought Suicide Notes and The Curse were better

very good cd but the curse is way better

i really liked this album.
the music was harderrr.
"Our Sick Story" was a good song.

Great material from Atreyu. This may set an example on how consistent a band can be when developing a music style. The album is as good as they come. Kudos to crazytoledo for his review on this....

I've been an Atreyu fan since Suicide Notes..
but honestly this doesn't cut it for me.
The songs aren't as hardcore as they used to be, and for me, they've changed fr the wose. i liked the old atreyu the one who weren't afraid to use sick guitar riffss, etc, and now they have tried to be a bit more mainstream.. and I dont like it..

though i have said that, a bunch of the songs on the cd I accept of.. ..

cheers

"creatures" is a pretty strong song...I'd like these guys alot more is the lead singer wasnt completely full of himself. Complete idiot.

However, im not gonna be the typical person to say i dont like them because they dont scream as much as they used to. Thats redictulous, good songwriting is good songwriting

**creatures** all the fuckin way

**creatures** all the fuckin way

**creatures** all the fuckin way

fav of this yr

Atreyu never fails to impress me. I was introduced to them by a dear friend around the time "The Curse" -just- came out. I had never been a music buff, listening to mostly Disturbed, The Beach Boys, and country music (I was a loser, yes) But when that CD was laid before me in a CD player it was as if I'd found the Holy Grail of Rock ^_^

I could care less what all you 'put-downers' say, stupid emos...Atreyu will forever rock! They've already shown us that they can (slightly) change their style without fucking everything up (like A7X...idiots)

I'd have to say that my personal fav on the new D.G.O.Y. would have to be, "The Untitled Finale" or "Her Portrait in Black"

Atreyu forever!

This is one of those records that Atreyu should try to cover up kinda like Bad Religion did with Into the Unknown.

This is one of those records that should Atreyu should try to cover up kinda like Bad Religion did with Into the Unknown.

When are they just gonna stop putting out albums? Seriously, I'm sick of it, every release atreyu puts out is total and compete repetitive bullshitttt.

i have to say i was truly impressed with this albulm, it caught me off gaurd by how good it was, i was expecting that stupid "curse" shit

this album is so fuking bullshit, they stil writing songs for 12 year olds fuck that!

I found it funny you go off the site to insult my taste in music when one of your favorite rated cds is the Atreyu CD I gave a 9.

And then you called out my bad taste in music on Punknews and said I probably listen to Green Day (who I hate) when your favorite releases are by bands like Avenged Sevenfold, Hawthorne Heights, and From First to Last.

Now that made my day.

oh and Mr_Streetcore---do all lovers of CLick 5 look the same????

1. if your going to post something bad about a band at least have the balls to put your name
2. if you dont like atreyu then you havent heard music before
3. Atreyu is awesome and they write good music
4. I Love Sonny Moore
5. From First To Last and Hawthorne Heights are just as awesome
6. Sonny is hot

do all you lovers of atreyu look the fuckling same?

Hey I'm the one that changes peoples post like that.

Stop copying me.

"this band kicks ass so unless you have a desent comment keep ur mouth fucking shut and listen to ur pussy assed shit"

This band sucks ass. So, unless you have a decent comment, keep your fucking fingers away from the keyboard you inept smegma consumer.

JXS

this band kicks ass so unless you have a desent comment keep ur mouth fucking shut and listen to ur pussy assed shit

this c,d is sooo awesome.

Last commenter...I like this band too, but honestly...do you have ANY idea how stupid you sound?

Atreyu is f***in awesome and this album is the best one yet and anyone who thinks they suck are f***in stupid and they dont know what real rock music is !!! So f*** all those bastards who think Atreyu sucks!!! Get your head out of your ass because they rock !!! GO Atreyu !!! and please continue to make great music !!!

oh dear. modern rock is doomed i tells ya! doomed!

you know i actually like this cd alot and i thought i was gunna hate it cause i dont like the curse at all too 80's for me in some songs but i like the 1st 1 alot.

this reminds me of the 1st album with a more rock feel mixed in

This isn't as good as The Curse imo.

death grip on yesterday is a rock'n cd.
ex's and oh's is the best song.

The singing in this album is much better than the albums that preceeded it. Music seems like it is going towards the direction of rock instead of hardcore but the music is still amazing.

It's called being a fan. That's all THEY'RE doing. I can see why people get irritated. I mean why come here and comment on something you DON'T like? Get a job. I say again, it's called being a fan. Live, love, learn, die.

Wow, how many ignorant minded, oblivious idiots will come in and try to act like there all that and hate on anyone that hates the band. They complain about how you should say how you hate the band, they then go on and say they hate you. Come on? Please grow some brains and have enough maturaity (sp) and post something with reason, not just a throw away message no one will aknowledge except when they're trying to prove a point.

i liked the cd a lot, and if you don't,
i suggest not commenting if you hate the cd because you look like a bunch of illiterate morons.
did you guys get out of fifth grade yet?
fuck you.

awsome cd better sream better guitare !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's hilarious how some people say, "These guys are fake hardcore, so they suck."

Then others say, "Hardcore sucks so Atreyu sucks."

Am I the only one that can see that they are BETWEEN Rock/Hardcore. You can even throw the word Metal in there if it makes you happy. These guys can play, they can write music, they stay in time, not all of their music is in 4/4, they aren't the greatest band ever, they are not the worst band ever.

Yes they give off a glam rock image, but since when haven't rock stars done this. Does the band Van Halen or Kiss suck solely because DLR wore tight spandex pants and acted flamboyant on stage or because Kiss wore makeup?

I think half of the arguments in here cannot be justifed because they are simply hipocritical. How can someone who "loves good music" hate Atreyu because they wear eye liner or tight pants? How can someone think Atreyu is the best band ever when you haven't heard every band ever?

My Opinion: From what I have heard, I like the album. Not as over-produced as "The Curse" was and definately a step forward. I think as long as they continue to evolve and bring fresh new material to the table they will be on my play list. No not everyone has to love them, musical taste is completely subjective so there is no point in trying to reason with anyone that their musical taste sucks. The skill of a band is an objective way of deciding how good a band is technically, but since when has that ever been THE deciding factor in a great band?

holy krap atreyu is the best band and i love their new cd.... death grip on yesterday is an awsome album and should be loved across the world..... atreyu rocks.....

Here's the deal if you don't like Atreyu than you don't like real metalcore. The premiere metalcore bands are...Atreyu, Bullet For My Valentine, Trivium, and A7X...most other metalcore bands are weak

Is it just me? Or do the people who really really like Atreyu bash everyone who doesn't like them? Meh, that's Atreyu fans for you. Booo yeah!

This premiered at #8 with 70-75k sold.

Sweet.

These arguments are really pointless. I'm only contributing because I believe that this album, like many others, only gets better the more you listen to it. I was never big into Atreyu but I saw them live and decided to pick this one up along with Suicide Notes...Not exactly my top 10 but there's no need to hate. We all have to get that paper

And if you dont like the band dont post it on here.
Noone cares.

Atreyu=best band in the fucking world
anyone who disagrees is an asshole.

Fuck you all, Atreyu is awesome. Go eat shit and die in a fucking hole you homos.

Sincerely, James

I'll sum up everybody's feelings on this CD to save anymore comments.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Oh my god this album is absoutely horrid.
I reviewed this for my schools paper and i really could not get through the entire thing. I just gave up after track 6.

This album is going to cause a whole new legion of black haired,girl pant wearing assholes. I never got this metalcore thing, i just thought it was a transitional period between wearing collar shirts and listening to saves the day to throwing on mesh shorts,a flat brimmed hat and spinkicking your teen angst away to first blood.

listen to darkthrone.

_bryan styles"

Okay first off...anyone who refers to an album as "horrid" probably shouldn't even be listening to any thing related to Atreyu in the first place. Go listen to the Brittish version of American Idol or something. Also, this album isn't going to cause a new legion of people like that. Its already happened. but whatever.

"i jus wanted to say that there r sum ppl out there that still like atreyu such as moi and to all u atreyu haters all i ave to say is FUCK OFF atreyu is betta than ull ever be"

Ahahahaha, if I wanted to be commercial sissy hardcore I could do it. So could lots of people, but we actually have respect for ourselves. That was kinda mean. Meh. Just cuz you like Atreyu doesn't mean that anyone who doesn't like it is a douchebag. The same goes for people who like the band, it's people who say"fuck off" to people who don't like the same bands that need to "fuck off". Like you. Scooooooooore.

You are right, this doesn't diserve 9. It diserves 10. In my opinion Atreyu is different from other victorys bands and Atreyu is doing good music, though it's fasioncore and MTV orientated and what ever you say. If Atreyu would be on European MTV, then I would finally watch it.

The first time I listened to this album, I hated it. After a few times listening to it, though, my opinon changed, it's pretty good. I have a lot of respect for Atreyu for making this album.

amazing album.

Personally, I think this review was the April's fools joke (albeit a rather early one)

i jus wanted to say that there r sum ppl out there that still like atreyu such as moi and to all u atreyu haters all i ave to say is FUCK OFF atreyu is betta than ull ever be

clown rock

Definitely a solid record, but I can't say that it's necessarily a 9. Good review, though.

- P-Fresh

S´m noz quite 20 yet and why is no band able to produce hardcore on the level of negative approach, ssd etc. I thought is was so easy to play....

i´m so sick of this kind of bands

"I feel it welling up inside and Robert Smith lied
Boys do cry and with blood tears in my eyes
I'm an Anne Rice novel come to life
I can't hide the monster anymore"

In all fairness, the 'Crimson' is a vampire styled song lyrically and not a serious song.

I hate this band. Just plain shit. Boo on 4.5 stars, serious boo. I can't even talk about this anymore.

This review should be taken down; this album does not deserve nine stars, nor does anything by this band. What you forget is how easy it is to reproduce bland shit like this - high amounts of stars should be given to truly unique albums, not some teen's fetish of the week.

3/27/2006 by Kris from Jacksonville, TX Rating:
InterPunk, you guys rule. This cd is really good. It is a little different than Atreyu's other stuff, but just as good and just as amazing. This cd made me want to go to practice with my band (ABBESS) imediateley after hearing it. I recomend this cd to anyone who enjoys strong, well writen, and well produced music. This is a cd you can listen to over and over and over again.

^ someone needs to end atreyu. pronto.

When I see the dumb-ass scenester kids at my school looking sad, I ask them if they've been feeling particularly D.C. post-hardcore lately and they look at me with vacant eyes, and then yell and insist that post-hardcore sounds NOTHING like "emo". Then I tell them they suck. Fools.

hardcore dancing is for total losers.

You know whats funny about that Toledo? I bet you have never even heard the band he mentioned. Kind of like when you pretended you knew what post hardcore was even though the only example you could come up with was that Orange band who are more nu metal then post hardcore. Theres a world outside your bubble.

I may be mixing them up with some other band...

But I rather listen to any of the previous listed bands I stated.

Well yeah, CrazyToledo, that's because you have a crappy taste in music.

Anyone who claims to know anything about metal, then utters the words "Darthrone isn't anything too special" has just lost any credibility they thought they had.

-Will

no way, darhthrone is krieg

Darkthorne isn't anything too special.

I'd rather listen to some Darkest Hour, Between the Buried and Me, Killing the Dream, Ed Gein, Absence, God Forbid, or Nile.

"This album is going to cause a whole new legion of black haired,girl pant wearing assholes. I never got this metalcore thing, i just thought it was a transitional period between wearing collar shirts and listening to saves the day to throwing on mesh shorts,a flat brimmed hat and spinkicking your teen angst away to first blood.

listen to darkthrone"

Uh... As if Darkthrone isn't just as fashionbased as this band.

But better music, definitely.

-Will

And no, I'm not trying to prove my "punk cred"...I don't buy new records...

...I think this week has the worst reviews yet. Who thinks I should review another Crass album? Or maybe "Gang of Four- Entertainment!"?

Funny Story:

This band was never good!

old atreyu was better

To the one comment, Atreyu has had 5 releases; two EPs and 3 full lengths. I was only referencing full lengths.

Also, the CD is $9.99 snd the Aiden reissue is for their full length before 'Nightmare Anatomy.'

I interviewed Kittie once...and their drummer said this band was killer...I downloaded some songs, they sucked...then Victory sent us an album, it sucked...this album...sucked. This band...sucked. Sure, the one little hispanic guitar player shreds, but so do the guitarists in the local hair metal cover bands...

Taking a character from an influential kids movie and dragging the name through the mud by playing mediocre hair-metal revivalist garbage show be punishable by sterilization...when I rule the world, this will be so.

OFF TOPIC- for those of you who care, the "Weight" era Rollins Band has officially re-united. And, more slightly ON-Topic, they would murder these pansies.

"horrible comments"

thanks for contributing to the problem.

"if you like atreyu. buy the album."

i like atreyu and i still think this album is shit

so it's not that simple asschap

if you like atreyu. buy the album. simple as that. its a good album for atreyu fans. if you dont like atreyu.. dont buy it. this site gives horrible reviews accompanied by horrible comments the majority of the time. doubt any one would ever judge buying an album or not by reading the shit thats posted on here.

this album is worth listening to even if your not a big Atreyu fan, the way in which they play their instruments is impressive

Oh my god this album is absoutely horrid.
I reviewed this for my schools paper and i really could not get through the entire thing. I just gave up after track 6.

_bryan styles

Hey GreenVandal, aren't you old? I mean, do you really have to get so upset about a 17 year old's Atreyu review? It's not as if it means the album is ACTUALLY good, and that it will trick anyone into buying the album. Even if it did, the type of person that would happen to really deserves to lose the $9.99, that'll teach them a lesson they'll NEVER forget.

Oh, and to people complaining about the Atreyu bashing; Have you ever thought that maybe the reason so many people are making fun of them is not because they are trendy snobish scenesters, but because the album/band is not very good..or really,really,really bad for that matter? Well, you should.

And to the guy trying to get Will to book a show for him; Calling him "young William" all the time is creepy as hell and that's probably why he won't book your band. I mean I know I wouldn't invite anyone I thought was a dangerous sexual predator into my town.

"Go jerk off instead."

Yes sir. It's certainly more useful to humanity then this review.

I saw a bunch of 16 year old kids play a 10 minute set of powerviolence songs last night. They had demo tapes with them and "posters" made from silk-screened grocery bags. They had homemade Spazz t-shirts and called the crowd pussies for not knowing the slayer cover they ended the set with (we actually did know it). It made me think - THIS is the future of hardcore punk. Not Atreyu.

-Ken

On an unrelated note I saw a bunch of 40 year old former heshers in Iron Maiden shirts drunkenly moshing to facedowninshit and Municipal Waste, it made me think-old people in my town have better taste than the youth.

4th release not 3rd.

This is a solid cd. I still like their first the best but anyone that liked the Curse is a dickhead with no taste, it was a terrible followup. I'll just say for the record that hating on Atreyu is such a cliche. STOP CONFORMING AND PANDERING TO YOUR COOLER THAN THOU PEERS.
Only classic cds deserve a 9. This is only average. I like tracks 6 and 9.
Another thing, if you haven't heard the cd and you are commenting based upon stereotypes, you have no crediblity. Go jerk off instead.

good to know ken's not a pussy....gimmie a break

i liked thier first two albums
i guess you could say they are guilty pleasures of mine
but this album is just flat out boring
sounds like it's a comp of b-sides and tunes that didn't make it onto thier last album
shitty release

it's funny how much push thier last album got by the label versus how much push this one got
guess even Tony Victory can smell a real shit album when it comes along

Fuck this band.........trendy, non-threatening, safe pop garbage that outsells every great band out there today. Wanna know why the music industry sucks today? Loo no further than this and all of it's imitators.

just curious, how much is this at best buy? i know alot of times, best buy will have this type of album 7.99-9.99 opening week. if its 7.99 i'll prob get it, and mayube even if its 9.99

"Posted by Anonymous on 2006-03-28 18:35:09

at least he gave a one to the aiden's album

If all goes well their reissue should get a just as shitty review.

:)"

Wait...Aiden is reissuing there album? That would be like a sequel to The Ringer...sigh...

I know weve had our duels in the past...but you hit the nail right on the head here. This CD is amazing and I would definitly give it a 4 1/2...I would have given it a 5 but I think it lacked one more song.

"keep it up and you guys will really regret the next spam attack."

this guy actually thinks hes seriously "getting us" with his spam. NEWS FLASH ATREYU SUCKS HORRIBLY, AND HAS FAGS FOR FANS LIKE YOU AND YOUR BOYFRIEND

I don't particularly enjoy this style of music.

My Score:

some of what people say on here is ridiculous...all they do is criticise the revewiers like they always suck no matter what they do, its so fucking sad that just becuase this is atreyu floods of scene police come on here bashing the shit out of it. it makes me sick, can u not get a life and some sort of intellignce? how about having an opinion on the actual album, not the band or the genre (which so many of you just plain hate in the worst form of bias) this is actually not a bad album at all, its not spectacular but decent, if nobody can agree with that then its obvious your just a bunch of shit stirrers who cant satnd anyone who wears more than two peices of black clothing, has arm tats and a fringe, fuck off

aaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahhahaahahahahahhaa

aaaa aaaaaaahahahahaahahah

how can you even compare Lawrence Arms and Atreyu? It's not even a similiar music genre. Atreyu take themselves and their cock rocker-image way too serious in the first place.

i call it it...reissue in 3 months. album color inverted and HUGE FUCKING STICKER announcing the 2 bonus tracks and victory sampler.

this cd is better than lawrence arms new one. hands down more fun

OMG! Look at this guys! We have a real professional on the site! He gives things the same average ratings as such fine publications as Alternative Press! Rolling Stone! (insert other "music" magazines that dont know anything about music)

You are such a fucking tool. Cant you pollute some other site?

I've got one, possibly both coming....

I have almost no interest in this Atreyu review, but why no review for Love Equals Death or The Sainte Catherines' new albums?

-phdecontrol

This band is absolutely fucking terrible, and some 17-year-old's poorly-written, hype-smattered review isn't going to change that.

Years from now, these guys will be lying to their kids about what they did with the best years of their lives so they don't risk said kids finding an old Atreyu CD. 'Cause, hell, if I was in Atreyu and my kid heard the music I spent serious time and money making, I wouldn't blame him for never respecting me again.

"I feel it welling up inside and Robert Smith lied
Boys do cry and with blood tears in my eyes
I'm an Anne Rice novel come to life
I can't hide the monster anymore"

The above could only POSSIBLY be considered good if it were about masturbation.

Holy shit? Have you lost your fucking mind!?

How dare you give this shit a decent review AND read this site?

Fuck off, all of you. Fuck off. This band is a pox, a fucking cancer on music.

wheres the review from devil dogs 30 sizzling slabs
Atreyu hoho

i swear, the majority of the atreyu supporters must never come to this site.

so far, the .orgers have been called "emo girl-pants wearing fags," and now, "hipsters."

i can't wait for the first person to tell us to go listen to our falloutboys and cry about ex gf's. it's going to happen. you just wait.

It's a good CD. It won't change anybody's life but it's not supposed to. Not everything has to be Interpol, or Pelican or Minus the Bear, or whatever it is you have to listen to to have "cred" these days.

It's just one big chocolate sundae of a record. Very enjoyable.

You hipsters can go choke on your PBRs.

**bleeding through**

A majority of my 'hating' reviews are reviewed by someone else first...

My Bleeding THroh and In Flames review that each got 2/10 were done by Aubin and my Hawthorne Heights and From First to Lasts 1/10 were handled by Brian.

A fucking 9.

Cram it in your cramhole.

I haven't listened to much of this band, but I've heard enough to understand why some of their fans are rabid, but this isn't "nearly perfect". Its tolerable at best, with hints of excellent musicianship.

well, we both can submit a review and depending on how different/similar they are, the .org could post both, one, or neither. worth a shot.

I already wrote a review, but it comes out the 18th I think.

fine. i'll write my own review for it. when's the re issue coming out?

Well I listened to Aidens pre-Victory release and it has the un-f'd up version of 'Knife Blood Nightmare,' but there are still loads of problems.

'I Set My Friends on Fire?' Please...

And while it is better than 'Nightmare Anatomy,' my tastes have changed slightly since reviewing NA, and that'd def. get a 1/10 by me now instead of a 2/10.

the greatest thing about all the spam and hate comments are the "girl pants wearing" slander. apparently the "hardcore" atreyu fans don't realize that the majority of their fans wear girl pants.

and i'm allowed to say that because two years ago i was listening to atreyu while wearing said piece of clothing. oh the shame.

and crazytoledo, while you're allowed your opinion, don't you think that a 9 is just a bit much for this album? i mean, shit, it would be the same thing if i were to review the next My Chem album and give it a 9 1/2 or 10.

also, i read a comment of yours and how you're going to review Our Gang's Dark Oath and give it a "one." now, i realize that Aiden's new album deserved around that score, but their previous, non-Victory release was at least somewhat decent and deserves a better score (around a 4 1/2 or 5 out of 10).

so please review with some objectivity and not just to cater to the casual readers that come to this site.

although i must admit, it took some balls to post this review.

let me be the first to say that everything you spit in this review is absolutely bullshit.

Score is for the review. How about you actually review more than two songs off the album. One of which is the single we have all already heard. No one cares how much you like Atreyu. Stick to reviewing the material not giving your opinion on the band as a whole.

I have heard the entire release and I do review the entire release, you dont have to name drop every song to cover it. Covering influences or the style is the equivalent of going over songs.

And boy is that spam sad as hell.

note to anyone who likes this band: Stop.note note to anyone who likes this band: Stop.note to anyone who likes this band: Stop.

Can we just ban that dickpig's IP already? This thread now has more code than fucking windows XP.

Generic music horrrrbile!!!, bring the mosh bahhh fuck this shit. Total posers in the real sense. To the idiot spamming you have terrible taste in muisc so why don't you shut the fuck up.

fuck that, this cd is amazing, it shows how a band can change and make it sound amazing, so fuck bashing this band, they're doing better than you'll ever do

Dear Will,

I doubt you actually went to the website. Because right on the bottom of the page, right below (like, the next line down, you would have to be brain dead to not see it) the MP3 you would have had to listen to to decide we blow is an e-mail address. it in fact says "e-mail chris at blahblah@blah.com" so please shut the fuck up.

You cunts are faggots, almost as bad as those losers with myspace accounts. Every CD that gets review you talk shit. QQ more emo fgts

aubin, adam, or justin-

could we get an admin to delete the spammed comments below? it's far less censorship than it is common decency to the rest of us.

we're all doomed.. DOOMED! DOOOMED!!

holy shit. now THAT is spamming.

and this album sucks.

what the fuck?

doomed fucking doomed.

hahaha word.

atrey-who!?

omgz! i rule.

Darkstarm,

You left no email. And I didn't see one on your web site. And your band blows. You get no help setting up a show from me.

-Will

Atreyu is shit. Pure shit. A big, fat, swirly, bad musical turd that took wayyyyy to long to digest to begin with.

if this is one of 2006's top albums then we're all doomed.

doomed fucking doomed.

ew

This is sad. Let's have a fallout over something so pointless.

Some people really don't have lives...

sweet

"The album art definitely SUFFERs from unoriginality..."

nice. haha.

"darkstarm -- did they sign to "get the message out"? That's a good one. Or is it "I wanted to make a living on music." Did they say "What's more punk- working 2 jobs, or being able to live off playing music". You know how I know I'm not punk? -- Real punks starve."

Again keep in mind this is not something I would do. Just not something I will condemn:

Imagine if you will, you're approached by a kid who has tattoos of your band's lyrics on his body. He admires your music in every way, and he happens to be in a band that is really shitty. He is however, very rich, and without your band his probably would not even exist. He says to you he'll give you all the resources you like and all the freedom you like to make a record. What do you say to that? Fuck off kid, no I don't think I deserve to finally make money off of my band that's finally gotten its dues almost a decade later? Or maybe yeah sure I'll take your money, and make a bitchin' new record. Again, this is just hypothetical so whatever. Starving sucks, by the way. By the way, as far as I know most of the guys in Lifetime are over 30, married, and some of 'em have kids. So take that into account as well.

"Well it's hard to set up a show for a band whose name I don't know. I guess you're just proving how uninvolved and out of touch you are that you think the idea of people setting up shows in their hometown is so outrageous."

My band's name is Scream Poet, Scream!. We play in the style of Chicago Jawbreaker influenced pop-punk meets the DC post-hardcore sound, pretty much. Our website is www.screampoetscream.com. We need a show in the first week of July. If a band needs a show in return, I currently run/help book three all ages spaces in Chicago. And.... GO.

The album art definitely SUFFERs from unoriginality...

Score is for my joke.

darkstarm -- did they sign to "get the message out"? That's a good one. Or is it "I wanted to make a living on music." Did they say "What's more punk- working 2 jobs, or being able to live off playing music". You know how I know I'm not punk? -- Real punks starve.

fuck this shit, get the new ghostface

C'mon people...let's stop the fighting. Just because one person likes something you don't, doesn't make it bad. Now, Atreyu makes this music because that's their favorite kind of music to listen to. From their (metal-based?) musical background, it's alright to steal from children. They're okay with that. They think it's cool. If you don't like it, then just...don't listen to it. You can't get rid of crap-core, but you can ignore it. "Your only choice is to spit or swallow", but you still have to suck the cock. I, for one, choose to spit it in their eyes.

"How's that tour date coming along, young William?"

here is Atreyu's formula. Catchy choruses shitty inaudible roaring grunting verses=$$$$

...yet other reviews for the band got also got an 8 and 9.

I think its more "retarded" that you post reviews on a website where no one does anything but talk shit on them.

i think the reviewer just said he was in 11th grade..

i guess that explains why he likes this LP... this stuff is geared for high school kids. he'll grow up one day, its all good.

"Probably the only Victory album I've been able to get into in the last 5 years. Some instrumental parts remind me of SST. Yes, the vocals are bad, but the music itself is impressive.

-Will"

Ha, ha, ha.

The fact that you think I suck because of my opinion on music is fucking retarded.

So bitch about my opinion if your going to, not that I really give a crap, I don't write reviews to satisfy the user base for a certain site, so why should I curve my opinion to make you happy.

I could honestly care less what you think about my review(s).

"As for reviews I saw in published magazines, AP gave it a 4 out of 5 and Outburnl gave it a 10 out of 10. And via that one body mass scale I'm right at the top of 'average' weight, so I'm not fat. And I've either played basketball, had something planned to do somewhere, or it's been bad weather almost every day the last few weeks, I don't live on the computer."

I dont even think this quote needs explaining. How fucking stupid are you? Well thats great, your par for the course with alternative fucking press.

PLEASE STOP SUBMITTING REVIEWS HERE, NO ONE LIKES THEM.

Go find some other stupid metal core site so you can at least have some bros chiming in about how much they agree with you about how killer Atreyu and Twelve Tribes are.

Score is for you.

at least he gave a one to the aiden's album

If all goes well their reissue should get a just as shitty review.

:)

i mean cmon... this dude isnt some A&R exec... hes a fat kid who posts reviews of shit bands. his opinion means nothing, he knows nothing about music.

"while i do hate atreyu, who the fuck do you think guides pitchfork?"

Dude, what's worse is that this crazytoledo guy is gonna probably graduate 10th grade, get into Neutral Milk Hotel and become a full fledged hipster by grade 12. Then, in college, he will begin writing for Pitchfork hyping the latest trend.

Probably not, considering that I'm in 11th grade and am going to do something in the computer and networking field.

"I asked Dan Yemin yesterday and he explained that "integrity is just retarded." Shouldn't you be glad for the signing, though? I know you were all super hyped about Against Me goin' Sire, and they were previously an actual underground band."

First, I was never "super hyped" about Against Me! going to Sire. I saw WHY they did it, and funny enough in the post-signing interview I read with Warren he gave the exact same reasoning I proposed about that signing. Against Me! was structinized with every single step they have taken as a band, got fed up with it, and took the money because they realized there was nothing they could do to please the underground punk-rule book crowd like you.

This has not been the case for Lifetime. They broke up before they could do anything too be scrutinized about, yes, but the fact remains that the majority of their fanbase is NOT the Fall Out Boy crowd. However...

My initial comments about Lifetime were made in haste. Much like the Against Me! situation I can see why Lifetime has signed to FBR. I wouldn't do it, but I understand the motivation. It isn't something I would do, true, but I can see how it happened.

How's that tour date coming along, young William?

funny that someone talks (negatively, i think)about girlpants while defending atreyu

I'm going to go listen to the lawerence arms now.

I'll admit it. Their first album on Victory was pretty decent.

But they are heading straight towards glam-rock. And it's not a good thing either.

Ramo

better then The Curse, a step down from Suicide Notes. really not that bad at all, the ballad is really something awful though. i usually don't mind songs like that from metal bands, i liked Line in the Sand off the new bleeding through disc, this one don't float though

hahaha fucketeer was just using emo as an insult against people for ripping on atreyu...god i love irony

at least he gave a one to the aiden's album

oh, and for the record, this album is no potemkin city limits.

umm..fucketeer......if you like the band so much, then you shouldnt give a fuck if people bash them. if you like em, you like em, who gives a fuck if people on here voice their opposing opinions. your letting that make you a bit too mad i reckon. and perhaps this site might not be for you. we all talk shit on here. and most the time its just fun and games. dont take it all so seriously duuuuuude.

Ok I shouldn't really care this much about correcting a whole fucking lot of blabbering vaginas but I do. Obviously all of you have your tight emo girl pants on too tight because your bloody pmsing is stinking up this post. Get fucking real girls. Comments shouldn't be made to talk shit about a band and then attempt to tell everyone why you are right. No body reading this post gives a flying fuck what ratings you fuck hats gave your little shitty bum shit bands that only you know about. DO you want a mfing cookie? because i seriously could care fucking less. So if you all are going to sit in your dark reefer infested shithole rooms and bash anyone who takes the time to read a good review about a great band how about you take a 5 minute break and go masturbate to your latest issue of (gay emo mag here). If you don't like Atreyu then don't come here and try to convince us sane persons that Atreyu sux. And go bloody fuck yourselves already.
Album: 7 solid stars bitches (would have been 8 or 9 if Her Portrait in Black was on it)

Atreyu has evolved.

They keep getting shittier and shittier with every record.

is it just me, or are people settling for shittier and shittier music? but then again, that is all relative to one's opinion. but still. it seems like people are to me.

"while i do hate atreyu, who the fuck do you think guides pitchfork?"

Isn't Atreyu that band that signed to Havoc Records yesterday?

Oh no, wait, that was Lifetime... signing to DeGAYdance.

"In regards to Lifetime: what happened to integrity?"

I asked Dan Yemin yesterday and he explained that "integrity is just retarded." Shouldn't you be glad for the signing, though? I know you were all super hyped about Against Me goin' Sire, and they were previously an actual underground band.

My Score:

I'm never taking another review on this site seriously. This band, this record, this label is everythung that is wrong with "indie" music.

I will only read pitchfork reviews from now on. Fuck this teenage bullshit.
while i do hate atreyu, who the fuck do you think guides pitchfork?

"Jesus Christ you are all a bunch of fucking babies. Who knew that the "punk rock" thing to do in 2006 would be to use the computer your parents bought you to go on line and bitch because someone has a different opinion than you... You aren't punk you pussies, get over it..."

anyone find the irony in this post?

Fuck this band, Fuck Victory records...I seriously cannot believe that people would actually like this heaping pile of horse shit.

Same review on absolutepunk.net

FUCK etwiels88!!!!!

hey, i still like their first album a bit. sort of a guilty pleasure but they weren't that bad for what they were doing. i would never really need more than one album of cheesey iron maiden-ripping metalcore and why would i want more from the group when they get cheesier and cheesier. still stand by the enjoyability of the first album. i'd have to give it a 5 or 6.

believe, i have friends that like this shit, i hear it and it gets worse and worse.

why do people on the internet make a big deal about what some kid who posts on a 'punk' website thinks?

i mean cmon... this dude isnt some A&R exec... hes a fat kid who posts reviews of shit bands. his opinion means nothing, he knows nothing about music.

damn! i was too late for that joke..

a 9 on this? come on, now this is the real april fools joke.. fuck the lifetime stint!

once again, i like atreyu.

....feeeel the hate.

atreyu hasnt changed that much in the last 2 years? why the change in opinion about the band?

yeah, its gay, but who isnt nowadays?

K = place(A,B,[-.3 -.3 -.4 -.4 -.5 -.5 -.6 -.65]);

This album has been getting good reviews everywhere, so there is no need to talk shit on punknews about it. it might actually be decent, even though a 9 is probably a bit much. i have a feeling it will be a solid 7.

and to those people talking shit on Victory, sure, tony seems like a jackass and the way the promote sttuff and jump on trends is ridiculous, but to be honest, aside from the roster of crap, victory also has a small group of really really solid bands

it's a bit too early for this april fool's joke

you guys are the worst babies ever
this is a very solid cd and I enjoyed it alot
8 for me

hhahahahaha.
remember when he gave lovehatehero 4 and a half stars?

Hey hey, kids! 9 points? Yeah, hey, man, buddy, right here buddy. Blow me. Atreyu doesn't even deserve a 5.

Err, you just gave that shitty boysetsfire a album 9.

You're just a fan boy to shitty bands that are "acceptable" to the people on this site.

i stated i wasn't a fan of boysetsfire in the review, especially prior to the record.

the bsf record takes many different influences and - with almost complete success - merges them with their sound.

i could go on defending my score, but i think if you actually take a second to read my review, you can try and pick it apart in that thread. i'm no fanboy.

This is ridicoulous, 4 and a half stars?!! Yeah right

hey i bet this is worth a 9! sounds right!

Is this guy working for Victory's street team?

What exactly is so punk or hardcore about thie piece of shit album? Give me a break, these guys are the ultimate throw away band. You can interchange them with FATA or any other horrible sing / scream band and not miss a beat. Bottom line bands like this bring nothing new or even credible to the table.
LAME

Kid Dynamite's s/t deserves a 9

AFI's Black Sails in the Sunset deserves a 9

Refused's The Shape of Punk to Come deserves a 9

Guess what doesn't deserve a 9?

Err, you just gave that shitty boysetsfire a album 9.

You're just a fan boy to shitty bands that are "acceptable" to the people on this site.

With that being said, this band is awful.

I see your point Colin, but we don't all sit down and discuss the ratings of individual reviews together. My ratings are relative to myself, and that's about the only way to manage it because otherwise, every review would turn into a big ordinal debate (is X better than Y, if so....)

We'd end up with weird fractions, that's for sure.

i agree... but i still think a hint of objectivity should come into reviews. scores of 8, 9, and 10 should be for bands that are reinventing something - whether it's their own sound, or a sound in general, or a way of approaching music... or, if it's just sort of the 'epitome' of what a band is about.

maybe for an atreyu record this is a 9, but then you have to put atreyu sort of in the bin of metalcore bands that aren't really pushing much of a sound. i've heard this record a few times, and i do think it's better than previous efforts, but it lacks in the way a band like PMFS reinvent their sound but still keep it real every album.

even if you're just comparing it to albums within the genre, "hidden hands of a sadist nation" only got 3 1/2 stars (by you, aubin, for shame!)... whereas it carries a much more aggressive and equally creative sound, except three years earlier.

i've regretted scoring albums before, but this seems like a much more absolute punk review of nonstop hype than it is any sort of objective look at a record.

ps, rubyx you suck too

Dude...crazytoledo, you seriously have awful taste in music

booooo!

the editors of this site should exercise some editorial power.

Is your dick covered in mascara and black eye liner cuz someone in Atreyu must have given you a Blow job for that score.

ONE!

I'd be angrier about FFTL getting a 6, but that's just me.

I don't base my opinions on this website. I've heard this record. It sucks. Maybe I'm just pissed that Lifetime signed to Fueled By Ramen, or maybe it's that the 'org just gave an Atreyu a 9. Or maybe it's both.

In regards to Lifetime: what happened to integrity?

*wouldn't flame you*

Well at least I dont base my opinions around what the people think on a site. It'd be easy to write a bad review just so people would flame you, but that wouldn't be honest. People have their right to an opinion, so ya.

and people game me shit for giving the curse an 8.

(i deserved it).

Crazy Toledo is a braver man than I.

If only they would have used my From First to Last or Hawthorne Heights reviews. Each were 1's by the way.

Why was this published on this website? I'm serious. There is no fucking way that this record is a 9, even if the reveiwer LIKES it. I say... bullshit.

wheres the devil dogs review from 30 sizzling slabs
PS: Atreyu sucks

this is probably the worst band, and I agree this record together with hawthorne heights are the best examples whats wrong with so-called hardcore, it has become lame metal-mtv shit and victory, trustkill and ferret are members of this bullshit club

i burned a copy of this off a friend a few weeks ago. i thought it sort of fell into the same trap as the last cky record, its not bad and they haven't radically altered their sound, which leads to the problem with it, no growth. they didn't take any chances, just more of the same

This is a serious low for this website

rabble rabble rabble rabble

Dude..The Bon Jovi cover is totally their best work to date.

albums given four stars or less on this website

I see your point Colin, but we don't all sit down and discuss the ratings of individual reviews together. My ratings are relative to myself, and that's about the only way to manage it because otherwise, every review would turn into a big ordinal debate (is X better than Y, if so....)

Very good album.

Punknews.org needs new reviewers.

I'm never taking another review on this site seriously. This band, this record, this label is everythung that is wrong with "indie" music.

I will only read pitchfork reviews from now on. Fuck this teenage bullshit.

Comparing aspects of an Atreyu record to Iron Maiden disturbs me greatly.

Can this site just do the world a favor and ignore Victory Record's existence?

Victory is on a slight little role, with this release, Dead to Fall and Sinai Beach reissue next week, but then AIden's reissuing 'Our Gangs Dark Oath' on the 18th.

LOL, this is funny shit!!!

Soo....I'm stumped.
I thought The Curse licked balls and I'm sure I'll feel the same way about this.
But hey, to each their own. I like way shittier music probably.

lame

This is easily Atreyu's best work.

Im buying this today (even though I already have a copy on my computer) and Robot Chicken.

wtf? i don't remember you fuckers doing april fools on reviews before.

albums given four stars or less on this website:

just in case the reviewer wanted to adjust that score.

Ironically, the reviews on Punknews for Atreyu havent been to bad:

http://punknews.org/reviews.php?op=reviews&banddirect=Atr eyu

'Suicide Notes' got a 9 and 7, 'The Curse' got a 8 and 4.

It's supposed to say 'Saller's strong singing.'

It's typed that way on my computer, maybe I re-proofread it after submitting it.

this band is on victory records....nothing more really needs to be said

I'm planning on buying this later today. I don't care what anyone would say, this band rocks and is the BEST BAND EVER!

I am going to be hated for this one.

Yuck.
