i was born to tell you i love you....

    A Day To Remember accomplished something with their sophomore album "Homesick." Something that musicians strive for each and every day, with each and every song, on each and every album.

   "The Downfall of us all" starts off the album with something that ADTR fans are used to. After only five seconds of "fun gang vocals," they throw in a riff of prominent bass, turning up the energy and intensity, giving the listener a little taste of what's to come; a little taste of what ADTR does best.

   The fifth track, "Mr. Highway's Thinking About The End," is no doubt one of the hardest songs on "Homesick." Right from the beginning, its intensity grows as the music gets more strident and Jeremy McKinnon, ADTR's vocalist, begins to sing. Actually, when he begins to scream.

   However, "Homesick" is not just another metal core album.

   On a lighter note, the last track "If it Means a Lot to You" shows how versatile ADTR truly is. That there is a softer side to ADTR; and this side is just as lovable as the harder side. McKinnon's voice is complimented a female voice; that of Sierra Kusterbeck from VersaEmerge. The two-part harmony soothes and make you want to pull your significant other close.

   Overall, there is not one song on "Homesick" that you will want to skip. Each has a perfect blend of brutality and serenity to make you want more. Each song adds to the previous, and when the album gets to the last track, you will want to make sure it's on repeat.

To put it simply:
 Do not steal it.
  Do not burn it.
   Do not download it.
    Get out there and buy it.
      It's worth every penny!
