Yellowcard's major-label debut is that rarity in latter-day punk-rock--a nuanced, almost subtle collection of distinctive songs with lyrics sensitive enough to reference moonlight, the ocean, and DEATH OF A SALESMAN, amongst its more usual expressions of post-teen angst. (And, by the way, they also have a violinist.) But, far from consigning them to the ranks of the irredeemably nerdy, OCEAN AVENUE is the sound of a young band flexing its imaginative muscle and emerging from behind the one-sound-fits-all sonic shadow of Green Day to produce a singularly distinctive collection of songs.

Sure, the album's opening salvo "Way Away" is straight out of the SoCal punk rock playbook, but by the shimmering intro to "Only One" it's increasingly obvious that there's more on offer here than one-dimensional posturing. It's not that Yellowcard are any slouches in the sonic thrash department, as evidenced by the breathless rush of "Twentythree"--it's just that they're not afraid to let their strong lyrics and musical smarts speak for them as much as their twentysomething stamina.

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.CMJ (7/21/03, p.6) - "...By simply adding a classically trained violinist into its mix, Yellowcard has already masterfully set itself apart....giant hooks and undeniably catchy choruses...are propelled to monstrous levels by Sean Mackin's violin..."

5 stars Sounds lke I Wrote It!
Like Deja Vu. The place and the Band something happened and I wanted to Check it out. I like the CD! My fave were Tracks 1, 2, 3*, 5, 6, 10. Ocean Avenue reminds me of a little Friend I had as a Child and those lost. The Song Inside Out "Even If I wanted to, I dont think that I'd get to you. says what I feel about most People.

5 stars There's life in punk rock afterall(if thast what you call i
I took a chance when i bought this CD since i'd only heard two songs. It's one of the best "chances" i've ever taken. I cannot beging to explain how amazing i think this album is. Yellowcard blend alternative punk rock with a spot of country influenced violin. It does wonders. This mixture raises it from being just another young, american rock band(ok calling them a rock band is too simplistic, they are more than that). The lyrics also add to the beauty of this album. I've listened to it every day for the last 2 weeks and don't think that i'll get tired of it. My fav is "only one" at the moment, but all thier songs on this album are exquisit. They are infused with such passion. I'm really feeling them. This album drserves 5 stars!!!!!! Buy it now, you wont regret it. If you do: you have bad taste in music

5 stars Yellow card = great
The cd is full of greatness. Although it takes some time to get used to hearing a violen in a punk rock band, u eventually learn to love the sound of it. Every track throughout the cd is great.

5 stars ** AWESOME!!!!
Wow! If You are a True Yellowcard Fan, You KNOW You Love Ocean Avenue! I can Play the Whole album, without skipping any tracks. Yellowcard makes a Nice Violin sound too, Not Too Much to Overpower the Punk Rock, but yet enough to know it's there. My Very Favorite Songs on the album are; Way Away, Breathing, Ocean Avenue, Life of a Salesman, Only One, Miles Apart, Twenty-Three, Inside Out, Believe, and "One Year, Six Months". Keep Up the Awesome Music Yellowcard!!!
