woah. this CD is awesome! everyone should buy it! and the band members are so sweet! i just saw them last night and got to meet all three members and got my picture with each!. but anyway buy this CD! its a must have in your punk/emo collection! if you like the old blink thats what they kinda sound like!

i actually stumbled upon this cd by accident. one of my friends left it in my cd player, so out of curiosity, i listened to it. and it hasnt been out of my cd player since. all eight songs are totally awesome. it has a pop/punk sort of vibe...kinda sounds like blink 182 but better! the lyrics are very catchy and the songs will be playing in your head for weeks. i cant get enough of ATM...i love them! i totally reccomend this cd!

amazing transparent man or ATM has a unique pop punk sound. They seem to be a combonation of ALKALINE TRIO and BLINK 182. First of all anyone who has ever heard of alkaline trio know that they write perfect pop songs and then they purposely distort and basicly [mess] them up for a nice unique punk sound which comes out quite nice, ATM seems to follow the same routine, what could be considered pop is turned to punk. People always say that certain bands sound like blink 182 and well i always seem to disagree, but in this case it's true, first of all most of the songs are about girl problems which i enjoy. Also with nicely timed guitar riffs, catchy lyrics, and with that poppy blink sound their a piece of work. Everyone knows Toms squeaky vocals in blink well rick (lead singer ATM) strangely sounds exactly like him in everyway. Then with ATMs other vocalist tony, brings a harder metal edge into the their music.

Overall if your looking for music that will stick in your head for weeks theres no doubt this will do it. Plus if you want to hear a kick [rear] punk cover of "girls just wanna have fun" buy it And who doesnt like blink 182 and alkaline trio. I would recommend downloading a song first see if you like it i recommend "edit undo"

What do you say about a band that sounds like Blink-182, but have been around since before Blink was big? Amazing Transparent Man, or ATM for short, has been together for about 3 years now [I think], and while they have a tendency to sound like the whole goofy pop-punk sound that Blink has popularized in recent times, they've been doing it for a while. This is by far the strongest outing for this Dekalb, IL three-piece. They plow through 8 songs in a little over 20 minutes, and it makes you wonder where the time went. They keep the listener attentive and energized the whole time. Being produced by Mass Giorgini doesn't hurt, as their vocals [both lead and backing] sound absolutely incredible. They also cover the Smoking Popes and Cyndi Lauper and do respectable jobs with each one. If you're looking to get into a new pop-punk band that writes great songs about girls and wears little pink shorts at most of their shows, give ATM a listen.
