Granted, this album has some good hooks and is pretty upbeat, but how could you give it 5 stars? Whoever this vocalist is should realize that he lacks a quality scream-o voice. The best track here is"You'll never guess who died" because of the catchy guitar riff and good vocals. Everything else just seems... too planned. The screams lack passion, the lyrics are silly, and the attempt to marry pop with hardcore is nauseating. There is no doubt that these guys have talent, but this album (and their hardcore approach altogether) doesn't convey it. Save your 5 star ratings for Led Zeppelin II or Disintegration. Oh, and the reviewer who says this album has groovy 80's inspired hooks is probably on acid.
