Album Review: Nothing Personal - All Time Low

I've been a fan of All Time Low ever since Joni gave me the 2007 album "So Wrong, It's Right" so when I heard this one was coming out it got a reminder on my cellphone at that very own moment and now I can share my thoughts with you.. Here's the first single of the new album:

Ok, so that's the song, this is the cover:

I'm not going to waste many words before I tell you guys what I think.. I know All Time Low is incredibly good in writing lyrics.. It's one of the few bands that actually show boys have feelings too.. I like that.. Like.. A Lot..

1. Weightless

The song I've been playing over and over and over and maybe one more time.. Ah well, non-stop during my exams.. It's just so amazing how the lyrics work together with the guitar and how they suddenly grow and I have to say, I feel the shivers runnin down my back in that first refrain.. If you still don't get it I'll put it like this: This song is A-mazing..

2. Break Your Little Heart

Once again they came up with strong lyrics, but I suppose I'll say that 12 times in this review.. But even though the lyrics are ok, it doesn't feel as powerful as Weightless.. I don't think this song works even though it's nice but if you listen to it you just want to yell the song out loud so that everyone knows you want to be on stage with these guys.. Not amazing, not bad at all, but you don't remember this song for 5 minutes..

3. Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don't)

I love this song.. Yknow, I wass having a phone conversation and this song was playing in the back.. I didn't even knew this bitch was recording the conversation to get evidence (she didn't get it but fuck it). Anyway, when the refrain began at once I began singing along.. So that's to give you an idea how catchy this song is. You will enjoy it, nothing more to say.. The oh - oh - oh in the refrain is so great to sing along and that's what I do, hell yeah!!

4. Lost In Stereo

Don't really know what this song's about but it's so beautiful.. Not like Weightless or so but different in their own style.. The refrain is powerful enough to make you move your body without asking for that and I believe that's what makes a good song, right? It's nothing like their best songs but it's a song you won't skip when you're shuffeling like 3000 songs on your iPod

5. Stella

This is a song that doesn't convience at all untill the refrain begins.. It's.. It's on of my top-5 favorite songs of the new album (4th I believe) and I don't know.. These lyrics are so blowing-me-off-my-socks that I can't have a comment on anything..

You're only happy when I'm wasted
I point my finger
But I just can't place it
Feels like I'm falling in love
When I'm falling to the bathroom floor
I remember how you tasted
I've had you so many times
Let's face it
Feels like I'm falling in love alone
Stella, would you take me home?

6. Sick Little Games

This one's pretty "blergh" actually.. It doesn't feel like All Time Low and I don't think it sounds good.. It's too slow, no wow-lyrics, no passion, not a real All Time Low to me..

7. Hello, Brooklyn

Also this one doesn't really feel like an All Time Low.. You know? It's a song that a punk band could write.. I know All Time Low is pretty punk/rock but this just isn't who they are.. I like the part at the end where all the city names come though..

8. Walls

This is the first song I've listened from the new album and I think it's an amazing song.. Amazing lyrics (not like Stella or Too Much though) and it's just a 100% All Time Low.. You can really feel what the singer wants to say with this song (or is that me being pethatic?) and I think it's a great intro for the following song, my favorite of the Nothing Personal album..

9. Too Much

The most amazing strings to enter an alternative song ever

Amazing vocals before the lyrics begin

A simple kick drum

AND F-ING AMAZING LYRICS.. I mean.. Damn.. I'm not going to waste more time, just listen..

10. Keep The Change, You Filthy Animal

It's so stupid that after an amazing song like Too Much they don't keep that spirit and make another song like that.. Not completely the same, I mean.. It could be a perfect punk song but not so angry as this one.. Ah well, it's an ok-song so let's just be happy for that..

11. A Party Song ( The Walk Of Shame)

Good song.. No further comment.. It's not great but it's better then just ok so..

12. Therapy

Well, I think they did good with putting this song last 'cause it takes Too Much a step further with the acoustic guitar.. I mean, Too Much is better in my opinion but this gives it a nice gentle puch and makes you finish the album with a smile rather then hate (and they give you enough of that too yknow..)

Well, personaly offcourse, I absolutely love the album except 2 or maybe 3 songs but I think that they could've worked more on a few song or maybe they should've written other songs instead of songs like Sick Little Games.. Ah well, it's All Time Low dude! You don't need to think, you need to enjoy!
