Yellowcard-Lights and Sounds The Album Yellowcard have recently released their latest album Lights and Sounds, it was due for original release in Fall 2005 but was delayed for unknown reasons.There's a special edition version with a DVD where you can see them playing live and producing the album but I couldn't find it in HMV. This album is a lot heavier but also features some acoustic songs, I think they’re trying to push their sound into new directions but not forgetting their old style and from what I’m hearing it’s awesome. Artwork: Songs Three Flights Up: A short instrumental track with pianos and violins, great build up to Lights and Sounds. Lights and Sounds: Their first single off the new album is hard hitting and shows Yellowcard still have their unique sound, it was also featured on Burnout: Revenge, back in September. Down On My Head: Slow start with a catchy guitar riff but a great chorus, everything you expect from Yellowcard. Sure Thing Falling: Awesome guitar in this. City Of Devils: Their first acoustic song off the new album and is very peaceful with harmonic violins. Rough Landing, Holly: One of the best songs on here and is the second single, really great lyrics. Two Weeks from Twenty: Really calm second acoustic, funky trumpet. Meaningful/Anti War lyrics. Waiting Game: Really heavy guitar with some awesome drum parts. Martin Sheen or JFK: Just another great song Space Travel: Love the lyrics in this really cool. Grey: Really great song one of the best, a great addition to the album. Words, Hands, Hearts: Slow yet heavy. How I Go: Acoustic guitars, pianos and violin. Really great build up in this with a female singer and Ryan (Guitar and Vocals) Holly Wood Died: A really great song to end the album on it has something of everything. Awesome solo in this too and a calm end. Rating They share the same sound as Blink 182 and other alternative punk bands out their but somehow come across more unique with a violinist. A great follow up, amazing lyrics and ace guitars. 4/5 Resource(s) Wikipedia
This album is amazing, and exceeded my expectations from this band. These guys are my favourite band. And I can't wait for them to come back to Toronto in May. Their concert was one of the best ones i've ever been too.
I was left pretty disappointed with Ocean Avenue. The only tracks I liked from OA were Only One and Way Away. Is this any better, or should I skip this one?
this new albums sounds ----ty i bought ocean avenue and loved it....but now that yellowcard is going through all these band member changes they dont sound like the good ol ways
I was seriously going to post this a few days ago but had to go to work. I personally would give this album a 4.5/5 I love the sound of the whole thing!
