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.

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 Submitted by cchikwililwa (Swakopmund)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

** 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".
