3.0 out of 5 stars An honest, non-bias review, June 14, 2006

By 

G$ and the Maverick Goodtime band "Graham" (Kingsport TN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: If Only You Were Lonely Version B (Audio CD)

You know, I've read all kinds of reviews of this album, but I thought the best review was by a guy who really didnt like the band, but gave a completely neutral review...a true honest interpretation of this album. I am a huge Hawthorne Heights fan. I loved SIBAW and fell in love with all their songs and literally counted down the days til I could buy the new one..

But, I was very disappointed when I actually listened to it. I will admit to everyone right now, that if you are looking for guitar-efficinado (sp?) then this is not the cd or band to purchase...but I love the drums and bass, very much so. It seems that HH is becoming the band that draws all the teenage-girls to the emo/screamo scene or whatever, all over MTV.

Now, once again, I am not saying that HH has "sold-out" or anything else as lame..Im just saying that the reason that SIBAW was sooo good was because they tore it up and Casey ( the screamer ) did his thing. Now he is a rarity, he's mic is always turned down and JT, a mediocre singer at best is the backbone of HH. I love this sorta music...but this album didnt do it for me.

Before you read another brainless, run-of-the-mill emo fan review of this cd, just know that if you're a fan of HH, de pick it up...but no one should buy this with the expectations of musical genious and the next greatest album ever...but enjoy it for what it is : a decent follow-up to their debut...nothing more and nothing less.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!!!, May 14, 2006

bleed4u "A. Thiele" (H'ville Tennessee) - See all my reviews

This review is from: If Only You Were Lonely Version B (Audio CD)

I love this cd! at first listen I liked it fairly well, but now it is one of my favorite cds, and I just cannot take it out of my cd player. Hawthorne Heights deals with heartbreak, and anyone who can relate will love this cd.
my favorite songs are "who We are," "Language Lessons," "Dead In The Water" and "where Can I Stab Myself In the Ears." All the other songs are great too. The only song that I didn't really care for was "decembers." It was just okay.
I recommend this album to anyone who loves emo/screamo music or has a broken heart. And to everyone who says Hawthorne Heights sucks, go phunk yourselves, because that just means that you have no appreciation for good music.
Anyway, go buy this cd, cause it rocks! (oh, and cd version A is exactly the same, except that it has a different cover on it. This one has the girl, that one has the guy.)

L. Boogie (West Tennessee) - See all my reviews

This review is from: If Only You Were Lonely Version B (Audio CD)

Wow, if you liked The Silence in Black and White, you will love this. These guys have gained so much more musicianship. Disregard anything you might read in other reviews: there are only 2 songs that sound quite similar.

They use the screaming in a creative way this time. In their freshman album, most of the screaming was ok to have, but it was unnecessary. This time, it is placed and done very well and adds to the song nicely.

Guitar riffs have grown much stronger. There are a lot of picking/palm muting mixes right next to each other.

The last song sounds like it has a little bit of sventies rock influence. They broke the rules! Finally a trendy, heavy band knows they're actually allowed to borrow from another genre.

The only beef I have is that the Version A/Version B thing is a pretty lame marketing ploy that will probably disappoint them in the end. I thought it was great when they re-release The SIB&W with EIGHT extra tracks and a DVD with SEVENTEEN chapters (That was actually worth watching) for the same price (rather than a rediculously higher price), but who's gonna buy 2 copies of one cd to follow an entirely staged story?

With the progression of this band and their talent, this CD deserves five stars. Pick it up if you have ANY liking to this band.
