Advantages: Finally reappearing with their 3rd album Disadvantages: Just not quite as good as before
...Two years in the making…Hell is for Heroes have finally released their third studio album, rather unoriginally self-titled, on Golf Records. For those that know them, and I can’t imagine that’s all that many too be honest, you’ll know them to be classified in the “emo/alternative/rock” genre (if such one exists), with two previous albums – “The Neon Handshake” and “Transmit Disrupt” that were highly thought of in the circles of rock music critics, especially their debut which saw them as a shining, promising light in the new music world. However, many would argue they’ve failed to scale the possible heights they could have attained. The reason? Well, there isn’t one, as this album proves…they may just be one of life’s unlucky bands……

Advantages: A fun alternative and eclectic sounding album Disadvantages: None
...A good album from gym class heroes released in 2007.I liked the sound and style this whole album had to offer.I feel that it was and still is very creative and alternative,it mixes r'n'b, hip hop and pop all together to create contageously catchy and distinctive sounding songs.
I really liked alot of the songs used on this album from the chart ready track: clothes off to my favourite slow sounding track: On My Own Time (Write On!)
The whole album was just enjoyable and fun to listen to. It took you through a wide variety of emotions and feelings which for me makes a good album.
Definately one of my favourite albums of all times and definately something that I would highly recommend to anyone,you will not be disappointed with this album,it has a quirky and fun high school poppy sound that just makes it even better to listen to from...

This is a very very good album which includes both upbeat track and slower songs. It is of typical sum 41, mixing chuck with does this look infected, which seems to of come out a winner! although there are less guitar solos, because of one of there original guitarists leaving, you can barely tell, because the awesome riffs and great lyrics take over. I would definitely recommend this album to anyone who likes punk music or heavier music. The track march of the dogs was the last released single, and you can...
