Anybody like 'em? This band has got to be the only punk rock band I've fallen in love with... :love:

I bought my sister the CD for her birthday. She loves them. And after listening to it once, I'm starting to love them too :P

Girl: Does he see me? Does he even know that I'm close by?
Guy: We're in the hallway, always at half past nine.
Girl: Would he ever get to know me? Would he take the time?

I saw them live once and thought they were awful, but from the stuff I've heard from the album I'm starting to change my mind a bit.

I can't stand them :neutral:

Everybody in my gym class seems to love them, so it's damn annoying to hear 'Try Honesty' 4986754986745986798 times a day.

Try Honest is a really good song. The first time I heard it I was like wow....but I hate it when songs get overplayed...they lose their....magic....

I just didn't like it the first time I heard it, so you can imagine how I feel about it now...

I did that with In Repair. I loved it so much that eventually it began to lose it's spot as my favorite song ever. :neutral: Now it's Julia acoustic and I've learned not to overplay favorites... :D

Not only Try Honesty, but if you buy the whole album and not the single there are many other great songs on the album, such as Line & Sinker. I dunno, I guess it's just my opinion..scary cuz I usually hate punk rock and now that Billy Talent has come out, I'm worrying that slowly I'm changing my mind...

Yup, it happens to the best of us with all kinds of music. It's for the better though.

Depends what you like, really, Cass.
And SAnd, you're right ... they have become so awesome live :)
Nothing to Lose, is about the kid at my school who killed himself, actually. It's pretty good. Just download the whole cd, is the best suggestion. It's all good.

are they a punk rock band? I've only heard Try Honesty and I wouldn't call that punk. What the rest of the album like?

They actually aren't really "punk". I never saw them as anything like that.

I was going to say the same thing.
Each song on the album is unique which is pretty cool.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

when i first heard 'try honesty' i couldn't stand it. the lead singers voice was really naseating and every time i turned on much music it was on. but then i listened to the whole thing and found that i actually liked the lead singers voice. (i forget his name)

and then my friend told me they were going to play a show here with alexisonfire. but its already happened. blah.
