Foul, Yellowcard.

Recognise them? If you don't, then if you've heard the song "Ocean Avenue", then you'll definitely know them (that song is one of my personal favourite).

Yes, they are Yellowcard, with the electric violin in their music that makes them uniquely them!

Personally, I feel that they're one of the best pop punk bands ever! And I really mean it, 'cause their sound is so much better than other pop punk bands such as Good Charlotte. They have more daring guitar riffs, nicer songs, better lyrics, and more importantly, they have one hell of a good drummer! (:

They got into commercial success because of their hit "Ocean Avenue" (and album, released in 2003), which peaked the charts at #1. Not forgetting other songs that went into the charts such as their hit rock ballad "Only One".

Their album Ocean Avenue has sold over 2 million copies in United States alone!

After Ocean Avenue, Yellowcard then released their follow-up album, Lights and Sounds.



But sad to say, this album was a huge disappointment. Even with their best sounding song, "Lights and Sounds", I think the album had lost much of its intensity compared to their previous album Ocean Avenue.

It was really a bore listening to Lights and Sounds, where it lacked guitar riffs and sincerity in their songs.

Haha, and I find it damn weird that this album did better than Ocean Avenue in the Canadian charts!

Damn weird!

And now, about less than a year after the release of Lights and Sounds, I'm anticipating their new album Paper Walls which will be officially released on 17 July 2007! Yes, can't wait, can't wait! (:



Finally, after much torture thinking about how bad Lights and Sounds was, there's Paper Walls to compensate for whatever music they have composed for Lights and Sounds!

Thanks God, this album has brought back the intensity of their Ocean Avenue album, and their songs are definitely nicer and more sincere.

The songs, "Fighting" and "Shadows and Regrets" are two of the best songs I personally like in the album. Oh, of course there's "Dear Bobbie" which is also one heck of a nice song!

Many critics have given positive reviews of the album! (:

Seriously, this album is very much more sincere, and from the very bottom of Yellowcard's heart. I'm glad they're back on track!

I'll put up the lyrics and song, hopefully, another time.

Meanwhile, I'll anticipate. (:
