I too have been a ADTR fan ever since their first album came out. I liked how they could go from being a plain rock/emo band one minute then jump into a breakdown the next. The breakdowns are brutal, although it sounds like they play the same chord every time they do the chug. I love their first album, and when they got signed to Victory, I was anxious to hear how their new album would sound. I was also hoping Victory wouldn't ruin this album as a band.

When they put The Plot To Bomb The Panhandle on their myspace, I was so relieved they didn't change their sound. To me, it sounded like the same ADTR, with better production of course, and it seemed like Jeremy's vocals got a lot better, both his screaming and his singing. I really can't complain about this album. They blend the 2 styles really well and its one of those albums I can listen to all the way through. Every song is amazing. If you like metal/hardcore with singing, and you would like to try something different, check these guys. Listen to them with an open mind.

Personally, I think this album is much better than the first. Another thing about A Day To Remember is the way Jeremy fits his lyrics in the song. Here's To The Past, I Heard It's The Softest Thing Ever, and Start The Shooting are memorable tracks.

I've been ADTR fan for a really long time now, and even though, yeah, this new album is really generic, it's still awesome. It sounds like the continuation of their last album with more expensive equipment and more studio work. Generic? Yeah. Whatever. It's cool. I like it a lot because they do generic in an interesting and addicting way.

I would probable give this albulm 4.5 stars if it was allowed. While there is nothing ground breaking on this or anything you haven't heard, this is definatley a CD to add to your collection if your into this kind of music. They are for the most part the typical victory kind of band. They sound like comeback kid, the starting line and killswitch engage combined. I would also compare them heavily to hawthorn heights and silverstein but more poppy and heaver. Musically like many bands there forula is heavy metcore/hard core part, pop punk corus, heavy part, repeat.
While they don't reinvent the wheel here if you like this kind of music you will love this albulm. I bought this CD the day it came out and probable listen to it all the way through at least once usually twice since I have a 2 hour commute. The chorus are catchy as anything fall out boy has done, and the heavy parts are something you would hear from a killswitch albulm. If that sounds good to you go buy this albulm you will love it.

THE ALBUM CONTAINS A WELL BALANCED COMBINATION OF BRUTAL METAL BREAKS WITH CATCHY MELODIC SINGING WHICH MAKES THIS ALBUM ON OF THE MOST UNIQUE CDS I HAVE EVER HEARD. IF YOU LIKE YOUR HEAVY SCREAMING AND SOME GOOD SINGING THAN THIS IS FOR YOU.

im giving this 4 stars cause even tough pop is really gay these guys are pretty heavy the dude's screams are perfect his grunting growls are also brutal.Besides i rather listen to this than any of that dumb rap and nu metal crap which is not even metal.I only like this for the heavy stuff but some of the clean singing stuff is kinda cool(maybe)so if you like heavy hardcore metalcore and pop mosh i suppose than check this out.It is pretty heavy the guys growls own,is even kinda deathcore pretty brutal stuff.

Seriously all tha people hatin on it...what have yall heard thats alot better... i wanna know...ive heard of and listen to every band you can think of son!... but there only a handful of bands with better style than these fools. A plot to bomb iz the only song i dont like on tha cd... but all the others are so bad.. they have perfect speed on there 2steps...decent circle pits...and there breakdowns are alway sik... hard for it to get boring. So tell me wut bands are more fun! im i missin out or sumthin?...

Well I listen to lots of music lots of different types. Someone told me that this band was good so I bought this album.
Where to start, Victory records is not what it use to be...
For me Thrice started that Screamo/Metal/Punk thing and lots of band since then went this way.
Some did great but A Day To Remember really did not!! They sound way to generic for me!
As a musician after listening to 3 songs you already know what was gonna happend on the next!
I saw on another review here that they were a pop punk band on earlier albums. Well they sound like a pop band trying
to sound metal and that really don't work for me!
For any music to be good it needs to be sincere not some cheap copy of the flavor of the month!


If you really want to release some agression go listen to some to a Pantera record and stay away from this #@#@##

I pre ordered this item about 2 weeks before I wanted to give it as an 18TH birthday present to my best friend, when it arrived I was expecting what I had ordered which was For those who have heart VINYL, by a day to remember her favourite band, it was the perfect present, only PROBLEM was what I orderd didnt arrive correctly instead of recieving a VIYL record like I had ordered I recieved a CD.
I also paid an extra £2.00 for a quick delivery and it did arrive in 2 days of the order date, I have not been refunded this money and wont see it again I have no doubt of this, and my friend has still not recieved her gift now off me for her birthday.
I was not happy once this had happened, im still searching for this VINYL I will not order from AMAZON again.

THE SETUP: I like rock, metal, punk, and I have many cds that are all over the musical spectrum. Depending on mood, I can like many things...this band is not among them.

AT FIRST LISTEN, I thought the band had a pretty good sound. Heard them at a listening station and bought them after a few minutes of listening. Unfortunately, that's all they're worth listening to, a few minutes.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS ALBUM: They have a punk feel, with a fast tempo for every song. They can be a bit schizo and change it up, varying tempo and intensity with ease. All well and good, until I listened to the next track. Had I pushed repeat on accident?

I like the idea behind their formula, they're just not good enough to pull it off. Okay, they turn from pop-punk (too much pop) to a fake metal sound (screaming over a hard rock riff is not metal). The heaviness is what drew me in, however, it wore thin within ONE LISTEN of the album.

If you listen to the heavy part of each song, they are practically identical. Same sounding riff combined with the same double-bass. No changes in style, substance, and not much variety in tempo. They have a fast or slow heavy style...still the same guitar...still the same double bass. Good for one song, until they do the same riff+double bass on the next song. VERY BORING. They don't spice it up or bring anything new past track 2.

Not worth my price of admission. I'm not big on forumlas and repetiveness, this album has it in spades.

Where does Victory find these bands? Do they make them in a lab? Every one is more faceless and generic than the last. It's like the refining of a scientific experiment. Genetic engineering to make the most perfect piece of...
