5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking, 11 Mar 2006
By A Customer
To be honest, I'd never heard of this band before february 2006, but after a friend of mine at school lent me the CD, telling me that I should listen to this song on pain of missing out on a great band, I was converted.

Yellowcard are semi rock-punk (to my ears) and they are given that little edge, thanks to the violin, that sets them apart from other bands.

The first two or three tracks put me off somehow, they weren't up to the usual caliber of the bands I usually listen to, but after 'Ocean Avenue' the CD really started to kick in, and I was much less apprehensive.

'View From Heaven' and 'One year, six months' are softer, more melodic songs that instantly (excuse the cliché) brighten up your day, bringing a smile to your face and making you want to sing along to the well written lyrics.

'Only one' is full of emotion, boardering more on the rock-ier side of the albumn, along with 'life of a salesman' whilst 'twenty-three' and 'miles apart' are more punk-like but still definitely worth a listen.

To sum up: get this albumn - its worth a listen! Almost every song will have you singing along and/or headbanging to your heart's content.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, 24 Aug 2004
This is an awesome album...pretty much every track on it is fantastic and you wouldn't bother skipping any of them. Also, so much variation is in evidence...

Believe, Only One, Back Home and Empty Apartment are all extremely cool songs for very different reasons. Some albums tend to trail off towards the end where the band tries to squeeze in the 'fillers' but Yellowcard certainly don't do that, and in this sense Ocean Avenue ends even better than it begins...

So many bands that play this kind of music can be criticised for sounding a little similar. With Yellowcard it's a little different, at least partly down to the 'innovative' use of the violin. The composition of the tracks is so good that some of the instrumental parts are as good as the vocals.

Basically, Ocean Avenue is one of the best albums ive heard this year, certainly up there or better than Deja Entendu by Brand New and Page Avenue by Story of the Year. Recommended for someone looking for something new and a bit different

Let's face it. At the end of the day, Yellowcard are a gimmick band, and that's what they will always be remembered as where they want to be or not. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Yellow card is right - not quite a red card
By far the most agreeable of the thrash metal new wave Americans masquerading as "new" music, Yellow card at least try to add a little light and shade to the music. Read more

I think Yellowcard are the only band who can get away with having a violin. Actually I take that back, a lot of bands use violins you just don't hear them that much. Read more
