4.0 out of 5 stars Radio-friendly, power pop-rock at its finest, June 21, 2005

The Good

Two fools that need each other is what "All that We Needed" is about. This track shows off De'Mar Hamilton's drum skills more than Tirio/Lopez's catchy riffs, or Tom Higgenson's smooth vocals. The pounding drums return on "Revenge", a catchy tale of a scorned lover's retaliation. "Take Me Away" is what Higgenson proclaims when he sees his ex-girlfriend at a party with a new boyfriend by her side. The song is loaded with great vocal melodies and just enough chugga-chugga riffage. "My Only One" is led by a muddy bass line and an infectious repetitive lick.

"Breakdown" is quite thought-provoking as it explores the emotional damage that fighting parents can inflict on their witnessing child. The track's appeal is due to its memorable and tuneful execution that will help you remember the seriousness of it. A thick bass line makes itself known on "Anything". This song of betrayal is also comprised of repetitive licks and driving drums. On "Sing My Best", Higgenson proclaims that all the negative aspects of being on tour are temporally erased when he takes the stage to perform.

The Bad

Nothing notable

The Verdict

Radio-friendly, power pop-rock at its finest. Not just catchy, but relatable too.

This kinda reminds me of the way saves the day had their sophomore effort which blew up and became popular. The mixing is about the same. Every Second Counts does not compare to this album. This defines their sound and original composure. They kinda varied off into commonville with the release of Every Second counts, but this release, is distorted enough to not get annoying and crafted beautifully. The pop nature of Plain white t's is becoming popular and this album is one of the contenders in that category. And to set the record straight, there is only one acoustic number on here and it is Hey There Delilah.

I had never heard of the Plain Whites T's until I listened to "Take Me Away" on Fuse. It was awesome so i listened to more of the stuff on their CD All That We Needed and loved it. It is a light version of punk with cool yet simple guitar parts and catchy lyrics. I deffinatly reccomend it! If you like "Take Me Away" you will love the rest of the CD!
