Streetlight Manifesto is number 1 for sure, I'm off to Santa Cruz to see them tomorrow

The Greatest Generation is amazing

Fall Out Boy, Paramore, and Jimmy Eat World were good but at the same time I was re-exploring their earlier stuff so they pale in comparison

Dropkick Murphys - Signed and Sealed in Blood should have gotten more attention, way outclasses Going Out in Style

Iron Chic - Spooky Action and Andrew McMahon - The Pop Underground for EPs

I'm looking forward to new Rise Against, Ocean Avenue Acoustic, Dads, and anything else I can find because I always feel behind on releases, but have been real happy with this year so far

Still need to hear QOTS

Biggest disappointment has been The Cat Empire - Steal the Light

I used to be a huge Big D fan, but felt pretty unimpressed with Strictly Rude, and thought Fluent in Stroll was a musical abomination. Is it worth checking this album out?

Edit - Just noticed they had another album 2 years ago I never even heard about. I'll probably just save myself the trouble and pass.

I enjoy all their stuff to some extent.  Damned Dumb and Delirious is alright, they kinda go back to their older sound.  The new ones I don't think are as good as Damned Dumb and Delirious even, but I still enjoy them.  I really don't think anything is going to top How it Goes, seeing as they've kinda been on the downward slide since then I feel.
