Hellogoodbye didn't have much going for them on the six-and-a-half-hour drive to Chicago to attend the 2006 Vans Warped Tour. My travelling companion and fellow tour-goer pleaded with me that we needed to see them, telling me they were kind of like an Atom and His Package ripoff. That was strike one. Their name alone drew the wrath of the musical elitist in me who was appauled that they could get away with associating with one of my favorite songs by the Beatles. That was strike two. I also knew that they were on Drive-Thru, and their name wasn't Rx Bandits or Homegrown. Strike three. I already hated this band.

i love Hellogoodbye. I can't wait for the re-release that comes out Tuesday. I want to see all the remixes of their songs that will be on there. Score is for CrazyToledo's use of "aight". "Touchdown Turnaround (Don't Give Up On Me" is amazingly awesome. Scores for that song. ChokingVictim: Grammar police: you misspelled "apalled". i dont fucking get hellogoodbye lets just make 3 new songs and remake all the other good songs into shit! the hole cd is over prodused! that hear in your arms song is good i like to dace to it but ummm but the old songs got killed! Posted by rkl on 2006-12-16 12:09:56 Atom & His Package > this shit Great album from front to back. I thought this was one of the better albums of 2006. i love atom and his package, i don't like bad ripoffs of him....though i wouldn't describe hellogoodbye as one, that's just the way my friend described them. A 6/10??? I mean there definitely is something to the argument that, technically, Jesus was a zombie. As soon as you ripped on Atom & His Package I quit reading. The fact that you are reviewing a Drive-Thru album and have the balls to rip on Atom makes me want to puke all over your head. so Dante believes in zombies and vampires? Posted by Dante3000 on 2006-12-15 18:35:50 Hellogoodbye is now one of my favorite bands. They are very, very unique. Like the style. So, Dante, you believe in zombies, aliens, and vampires? Seems like you wouldn't have an issue with believing in an imaginary friend in the sky. Call and Return was a good song. The album should be titled: I actually like Hellogoodbye because I like dorky fun pop music. Though this CD is a mixed bag. I'm so glad Drive Thru realizes that their pop punk kids moved on to shitty synth/indie pop (they even seem to be trying to imitate the crappy minimalist album art style). This stuff isn't even pretentious. It's just bland badness. my only response: You Like The Vengaboys (You're Gay) ps: you confused homegrown and the movielife. This is my pretentious hipster friend's new favorite band. Score is for him. sydbarrett420 is a joke acct, right? This album title is the very definition of why I hate this sort of music. CORNY! I don't understand how the review and the score match. You seem to hate the album (though less than expected, but you give it 3 stars. Huh? "....nearly singlehandedly saves this CD from being permanently taped upside down to my ceiling fan." I about threw up in my mouth when this came on last night while i was getting high. back to the new ...Trail of Dead oh my friend. if the first listen isn't irreparably destructive to your day then i'm sure the next spin will surprise you. this band bleeds stupidity. a 6 misrepresents this as decent. do yourself a favor and dont give this a shot. this shit gets stuck in your head way too easily. trust me. its not even worth a taste. damn that was generous. Touchdown Turnaround is incredibly annoying How does the review match the score? Fuck this band. |
