Pulley has lost some things similar to their previous albums, but they have gained back even better things.

From the opening track of In Search, you know this is gonna be a big melodic punk ride. All thirteen tracks blaze by in a matter of minutes, but you'll be glad you were there to witness it.

With the loss of Jordan (staying in Strung Out full time) and Jim Cherry (starting up Zero Down), you might think that things wouldn't be the same. Well, Tony Palmero (formerly of Ten Foot Pole) picks up the sticks and sits behind the set for Pulley now. This new lineup is an amazing, powerful punk bomb, waiting to explode.

The things that really stand out for me are the amazing drum beats, the vocals, and the bass. Tyler uses about 100% of his skill and energy to make the rhythmic bass more of a lead guitar. If you are into booming bass lines, this is the album for you.

Tracks that stand out: Hooray For Me, Fuel, Touched, Runaway, The Ocean Song, Destiny (for the whole 18 seconds of it), and Silenced. But then again, I love all the songs. Buy this album, you measly punker!

4.0 out of 5 stars They're Slipping But The Album Still Has Heart, November 15, 2005

The reunion piece from the boys of the self-confessed cookie-cutter band, Pulley, should ooze with unbridled energy, but unfortunately Radinsky's vocals just seem subdued and the rest is so immaculately produced it's often hard to make an emotional connection. The Ocean Song is the standout track of the album, most of the rest are adequately catchy, but there are some woefully tuneless songs in there too (History Repeats Itself, Leather Face). Radinsky's vocals skip between the unaccompanied sound of @#!* and the vocal layerings of Matters effectively, but his constant habit of overextending his notes at times grows tiresome. It seems Pulley have slipped even more into the realm of the ordinary with this album, but not for a lack of sincerity or as a result of selling out. When Radinsky claims, "I don't write this music with intent to pay my bills," you can't help but believe him.

Well, I'm not going to say this is a terrible cd because it's not. "Hurray for Me" and a few other songs save this album from that solid title. I would more less consider this album a mediocre cd. It's not anything to rush out and buy, but if you want a good pop-punk collection or something this will keep you entertained for a short while. Pulley has some good songwriting skills, but there are better pop-punk bands out there. So listen and judge for yourself, because you may think of it totally different than what I do. Once again, it's not a bad cd, it just seems like I haven't been really getting into it, but sometimes if my mood is right it's a masterpiece, but not too often. I found more satisfaction in an Alkaline Trio album than I did with this, so I recommend "Goddamnit" instead of this, that cd blows me away, but this was a cool breese.
