Track Listing is as follows
1. Weightless - 3:18 5/5 Because: This track is great; it starts off with a slow-ish tempo and picks up as the seconds tick by. It has a good chorus, well catches the listeners attention. It has a great music video to it, played some days on Kerrang! The music channel
2. Break Your Little Heart - 2:52 5/5 Because: I love this song, its just got that real catchy rhythm to it, Great vocals
and as said by many, including Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy) All Time Low are a lot like Fall Out Boy and Blink 182, most people don’t like that, but its just one band looking up to another, for inspiration. I think that this song is great and is totally a recommendation if you want to see what they are like.
3. Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don't) - 3:07 5/5 Because: This track has brilliant lyrics, and the beat to it gets your foot tapping. I listen to this track a lot mainly because of the vocals, they are just immense. I think altogether it is a really good track and you can say that this track is deffinatley All Time Low material.
4. Lost in Stereo - 3:48 5/5 Because: So far I have not found a fault with this album and this track again does not have a single fault with it, it has everything brilliant tempo, lyrics, vocals, drums, rhythm, lead and Bass. I think this is one track I would love to hear live. Backing vocals really give it that touch that it needs. You can tell by the accents of the vocals that they are a typical American pop punk band, but they have added their own little touch to their stuff and I think that’s what sets them apart from most bands.
5. Stella - 3:24 5/5 Because: Now I really do like this track and I don’t know whether it is the vocals or the bass or the rhythm of the vocals and lyrics that pulls me in, I just couldn’t tell you. It has that beat that gives the track a strong pulse and makes it so you cannot get bored of this track, and I have listened to this track about a million times and I’m still not bored of it.
6. Sick Little Games - 3:36 5/5 Because: Its got a slow tempo to it but its one of those that gets stuck in your head and the lyrics are the type that you will find yourself thinking an it will bug you because you cant remember the name of the song…that’s what happens to me with this one. It is honestly one of the best tracks on the album, the bass line is nice and sturdy and the beat tops it off like icing on a cake.
7. Hello, Brooklyn - 3:30 5/5 Because: This is the type of song you just want to jump around to, especially if you have had an energy drink a few minuets before. Vocals are excellent as are the backing vocals they set the track perfectly and the rhythm guitar is amazing, im currently trying to learn this track just for the fun of it. This track also reminds me a little of Yellowcard…without the electric violins.
8. Walls - 3:11 5/5 Because: This track has an extremely catchy start. The lyrics are like the typical words to come from a teenage boys mouth, research the lyrics an you’ll know what I mean, not so much the ‘I wanna feel so in love’ part I mean there’s a specific line which I prefer not to write.
9. Too Much - 4:15 5/5 Because: Theres a great tempo to this track, they kind of take on a metro station/Go Audio for this one, but add their own personal touch. The vocals for this track are awesome and the lyrics are amazing.
10. Keep the Change, You Filthy Animal - 3:20 5/5 Because: Now everyone has heard the saying ‘Keep the change you filthy animal’ before at some point in their lives, I heard it on Home Alone. So I thought it rather amusing when I read this track title, this track as nothing to do with giving money and keeping change , its about a girl knowing her best friends secret and her boyfriend wants to know because she has been saying stuff about him to her. The beat to this track is amazing and I would love to be able to have the time to learn this one but I cant get to the schools band room, The rhythm is great and blend well with the vocals.
11. A Party Song (The Walk of Shame) - 2:59 5/5 Because: [Still haven’t found a fault!] This track is amazing, I love it to bits, listen to it everyday, know every word and note to the vocals. This would be great if they also had an acoustic version. The rhythm is pretty easy to learn, I got it in 2 weeks, would have been earlier but one of my strings broke. The lyrics are really amazing, I love them, they are the type of lyrics I write all over my school books when I’m bored.
12. Therapy - 3:44 5/5 Because: This track has a brilliant acoustic rhythm that sounds great with the vocals, this band are [I am admitting willingly here, so don’t laugh] a band that I do look up to in the way of vocals because Alex Gaskarth has an amazing voice and as backing vocals go so does Jack Barakat. This track has an awesome beat to it, it tops it off nicely. The bass lie when played on its own is a great tune. Deffinatley a recommended track.
Overall this album is deffinatley worth getting, I have given all tracks a 5/5 but that’s just my opinion, you could think different, you may not like the band, the style they are, the vocals but you will never know if you don’t give them a chance, so youtube them. I think that this album was well worth the money, I bought it off amazon for £7.98 and I don’t regret spending the money at all, but I do regret lending the CD to one of my friends, huge mistake, im getting it back but im having withdrawral symptoms o.o
