Yellowcard

2003

This is another "been-there-done-that" romance culture album. The second lyric is "I'm gonna leave you now." That pretty much sums it up--which is nothing against it musically.

I looked desperately inside the album jacket cover for something worthwhile to cover. All we have is a band haunted by a womyn.

Yellowcard gave a track to "Rock against Bush" vol. 2 and is thus involved in the "rock the vote" effort to get youth out into the voting booth November 2nd 2004. However, the song "Violins" is not on this album being reviewed here.

We do not agree with rocking the vote, but we're sure that whole discussion is more interesting than this album.
