So All Time Low released a new CD the day after Panic! broke up. The CD is entitled Nothing Personal, and has 12 thrilling tracks. Each track sounds unique and no two have the same feel. As soon as you pop that CD into your player your welcomed by a fairly familiar song, Weightless, which was released weeks earlier as one of their singles for this album. I personally love the lyrics and pop-inspired rhythmic guitars. It is a great song that so many high school age teens can relate to. That's the thing with All Time Low; They know how to relate to their fans.
Next we have the song, Break Your Little Heart. This song reminds me so much of So Wrong, It's Right. It is my personal favorite on this album. The lyrics just beg you to sing along, and plus the beat is so catchy. And as an added bonus, the album title is found tucked in the lyrics of this great song ( You were fake/ I was great/ Nothing personal ). Another familiar tune is found next on the line up.
Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don't was also released as a single. This song just like the one before has the reminisce of So Wrong and its chorus is so damn catchy. This song also highlights Gaskarth's vocals.
Next we're greeted by Lost in the Stereo, which paints us a very complex picture. I personally love songs that tell us a story and this one not only has amazing lyrics, but amazing instrumentals. You'll definitely be tapping along to this song! The next song drew me in with its opening words.
Stella is about being drunk. You might think "Stella" is a girl ( just like Holly and Maria from So Wrong ), but Alex is really singing about a beer brand Stella Artois. This song also shows off Gaskarth's vocal range.
On the other hand Sick Little Games is all about suffering and sorrow and the music gives that sad yet hopeful aura. I feel that alot of fans will connect with this song, because we all go through hard times.
Next we have Hello, Brooklyn. This song is one of the best ones on this album in my opinion. It's basically about how the world's going to end, but we can look forward to the party. I love the guitar in this song, theyre so clean and polished. Plus as an added bonus, Alex's voice sounds extra good :)
Walls is a new kind of All Time Low. Its very electronic, and that isnt a bad thing, since the old All Time Low we all know and love can still shine through. The electronic beats make this catchy song even better.
Too Much is a very unique song. Once again electronic beats are present. I feel that it is a little too slow and the hook wasn't very effective. I feel they could have used guitars and drums, instead of just electronic. Other than that I loved the simplicity of this song.
Keep The Change, You Filthy Animal is such a funny little song. I love the title and it sure drew me it. Listen to the lyrics, there's so many different ways to interpert them, which i love. I loved the bridge in this song, it was one of the best on this album.
Nearing the end of the album we have Party Song ( Walk of Shame ). This song has a twist on their old music and fans will totally buy into it. The lyrics are well planned out, and Alex's voice once again is highlighted. They did a very good job on this track.
Lastly we have the song Therepy. Unlike the other slow song on this album, Therepy has no electronic beats. It was a nice ending to a great album; it kind of wrapped up the whole message that I think All Time Low was trying to get across to their fans. That hey, life can be hard but make the best of it. This song has no competition at all. Alex's voice is perfect, Rian's drumming draws you in, and Jack and Zack's rhythms dominate. Basically, this album is the summer soundtrack, hands down. Props to All Time Low for making their best album yet.
