I've been a fan since seeing them in concert back in 2006 with Paramore and Cute Is What We Aim For. Always loved the loud guitars and energy this band brings but never got passed the New Found Glory similarities. Especially the vocals. On the previous album "This is a stick up...." I always thought it could have been better with a different and clearer (very deep nasal blockage??) lead vocals. Well here we have it. And honestly this album just made my summer. The heavy guitar intros and riffs are still there. The vocals have been taken over by the guitarist who makes the lyrics much clearer and adds identity to this band. The chorus are fun and every song ("statues" is still growing on me) is ultra catchy and sticks in your head. Every day I get a new favorite song from this album. Judge it how you may, (see track 11 "say what you wanna say") but if your a old fan of the band and this genre (cartel, Hawthorne heights, all time low, new found glory, paramore, set your goals, Valencia, hello goodbye.....) of music then its a definite must have for your summer and collection. If you're looking for something new then just have a listen in the previews or their myspace page. You will like what you hear!!

2.0 out of 5 stars I just couldn't get into it, November 16, 2010

Okay, for starters I'm a HUGE fan of pop punk music. Everything from Blink, to Green Day, to Simple Plan, and everything in between. While it's been a struggle for me to start accepting the "new" age of pop punk in bands like All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, Cute is What We Aim For and a number of others, I've grown a little of a liking to it. Hit The Lights unfortunately didn't grab me at all. I'm always willing to give any band a listen, but these guys just didn't have that special something to make me get into them. It just sounded like a straight forward rock record to me. Glad to see other people like these guys, I just wish I could have gotten into them.
