Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Does anybody remember The Real McCoy? I’m amazed how quickly they disappeared! They had brilliant songs and I still listen to their album today. Songs like 'Come and get your love', 'Love and Devotion' and 'Another Night'. Remembering that these guys first came out right at the very beginning when ‘techie’ music was coming in so yes you can still dance around to this music! Back then, it was very clubby, very in but now, the Real McCoy have been forgotten! If a member of the group should read this little opinion, I got your Album! I still listen to it!... Read review

...does and spitting killer lyrics certainly seems to be his forte. Throughout this album it is the slickness with which the vocals are pulled off that really appeals to me and makes this album so enjoyable. Without Travis McCoy at the centre of their sound, Gym Class Heroes would be nowhere near as effective and excellent a band as they are. Much like Patrick Stump's inclusion in the track 'Clothes Off', William Beckett of The Academy Is... is another vocalist that makes a guest appearance on this release. '7 Weeks' features a sweetly spoken vocal from the man, and once more I feel that this is something that is pulled off to an extremely high standard.
