[.ca] Together Again For The First

standard.:
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.

You owe it to yourself:
You owe it to your ears to pick this one up. You can't go wrong with Pulley. They've yet to record even a so-so album. This is no worse. My personal faves on this are Runaway (#8) and Hooray for Me (#2). It's a bit more upbeat than the self-titled CD, and harks back to 60 Cycle Hum just a bit. Great stuff...good buy.

What are you kiddin'? Nobody's rated this yet?:
AMAZING!! If you don't have this, buy it! How many CDs do you own where you can actually say you love every song? This is one of those CDs! I won't say this album is better than their others, well, because every album Pulley makes is great!! And the production is amazing as always!! Ryan Greene is the MAN! Stop reading my stupid review and click the Add To Shopping Cart Button. You won't be sorry. Do it! Do it Now!!

Pulley not so good:
Pulley would be a great band if the singer weren't so monotone. Check out Ten Foot Pole Unleashed or Insider instead. A much better band!

Excellent record:
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!
