Will Ayling - 1/10/2012

This is the recently released album by Yellowcard with the new bassist Sean O'Donnell trying to fill the old spots of Pete Mosely, I chose to review this album as oppose to the electric full version as it just has so much more character in it, you can hear every note and clearly see the emotion behind each melody created and totally giving the song its background, and helps you to see what the artist was going for.

The main compliment to this album is that has all the attitude of the original album but with so much more clarity and character!

It is quite an easy listen if you are going for a relaxing yet upbeat acoustic tracks however its lyrics and style do point towards a younger generation. The original in full edition was a very well produced album however if you are looking for emotion and want to feel the music then the full edition is not what you want, This Re-release album screams to be heard and every single little note or strum is perfectly balanced.

I have played this album to friends and family and then played the full edition and at times its hard to even tell that its the same songs, the way they are played with full instrumentation for me loses its thickness and its clarity, however it is a massive positive to listen to the acoustic album first as it will help you to pick out all the parts that were created to give the song its feel.

So if you are on the brink of buying one or the other then this one has the edge as it has so much more musical ability included!
