This CD is incredible. As described in the other reviews, every single song is catchy and complex, and not a single one is skip worthy. It has quickly become one of my top 3 favorite albums of all time. I hope they keep giving us great stuff. This is a fantastic CD!

This CD has been on repeat in my CD player since I bought it. The choruses are catchy, the melodies are infectious, and the singing is phenomenal.

Fearless Records' pop-rock bands never disappoint me, they only get better.

If you like Mayday Parade or Just Surrender or any other bands on Fearless Records, or any label for that matter, that sing music like that, you'll love this CD and you'll love this band; because I know that I do.

The Good
Every Avenue decides to kick things off with the anthemic track "Day of the Old." I think many listeners can relate to a good 'remember when' song. Muted guitars and faded vocals jumpstart "A Story to Tell Your Friends." The track is anchored by a catchy chorus and heartfelt lyrics. Electric fuzz and melodic vocals dominate "Trading Heartbeats." You can never go wrong with a 'whoh oooh' vocal break. "Freak Out!" delivers some hefty riffage for a pop song, but is kept in the pop arena with plenty of hooks. "Between You and I" is a piano-based ballad that is both tender and heartbreaking.

The Bad
Only two of the six songs from their 2007 EP Ah! made it to this full-length release. The songs that were left out happened to be one's that I really enjoyed.

The Verdict
Every Avenue still has plenty of power-pop hooks and cathy lyrical sections to please the most complicated musical pallet. The songs are easy to connect with without being oversimplified. I would have liked for the entire EP to make it to the full-length because now some of the strongest material is missing.

This cd is a great buy and great for fans of Hit The Lights, All Time Low, Mayday Parade and bands of similar genres. I saw them in concert Dec. 22nd, 2008, they played well, but there was many screaming girls. The most memorbale songs were 'Think of You Later' and 'Where were you?', 'Between you and I' and 'Chasing The Night'. Some of the songs were a bit bland, but had a bit of flavor in all of them but it definitely showcases the talent they will have in the future.

8.1/10

yes, every avenue sounds like every other pop-emo band out there. but theres one exception. every song is catchy. with all these new dime a dozen bands out there, there are usually one to two songs that are catchy enough to be considered good. with this cd, i cant find one song that i dont like. if youre looking for that pop-punk band that isnt fob or all time low, this is the band for you. best track is days of the old
