    @K9Boomer: After I first listened to the Start The Party single I was so disappointed, and I thought that they are just going to start to be a "party band". And as much as I was prepared for the worst, I was surprised to enjoy the melodies, and it's sooo fucking catchy :'D Plus Sean is doing some more screaming again, god I missed that on Hope!

    A lot of die hards will say they're just moving on, which bands do, and I'm all for that but the new album is incredibly average. Musically, lyrically, everything about it is just bland and uninteresting.

    Sinceramente su nuevo disco no es malo pero siento que es demasiado diferente a los otros discos anteriores aunque Hope todavía no lo he podido escuchar porque no lo encuentro en Internet :c , pero le daré una 2da oportunidad a Start the party.

    new album is GREAT, stop crying, cause all albums cant be the same, each band eventually changes music they are playing, they are just trying to find something new

    New album sucks. Nothing more to say actually. That was very expected after revealing a single and a cover.
