The Starting Line - Based on a True Story

[mitchables]

Yeah, just downloaded this album off TorrentSpy, and I am mightily impressed. I've only listened through once, but it is a really nicely put together CD. They've definitely matured a bit, but they haven't abandoned their sound, which is really good. I said the same thing about Sugarcult when they released 'Palm Trees and Power Lines'. It's a weird thing to say in the midst of all this emo-hype, but it is really refreshing to see at least a couple of pop-punk bands keeping their sound regardless.

That said, there is a really nice 6-minute long acoustic/violin track on there called 'Photography', but it's so nice that I don't even care.

Fans of their first CD will like this album for sure, it is a really nice effort from the boys in TSL. Even after listening to the mp3s, it's definitely worth the purchase.
