Title: Sometimes you just need to punch someone
Product review: Chris Carrabba's first band.All together now: EEGGHH.Although he's not in it anymore, he left us with this record, which is a unabashed exercise in watered down-lame-core with lamer lyrics.Granted, "Pictures of Shorelines" ain't too bad, as it talks about (what else?) a long distance relationship set to "punk-emo-core" music so standard it could be computerized. However,the nine other tracks fare much worse (go figure). A laundry list of tried and true emo topics. Love. Love lost. Love far away. Things falling apart.And seeing as how these guys are Christian, they're put on Tooth and Nail, who's biggest claim to fame are introducing the world to Mxpx and P.O.D.If you can stomach ten tracks of standard emo-core music, worse lyrics, then by all means dig in. Hopefully, you can't (and won't).
