I listened to about 6 songs on this album and found nothing redeemable. 

I don't want people to think that we think that any girl fronted band is a copy of Paramore because it's not.  There's no difference a popular male fronted band that has followers.  But in reality, there is no band right now that can come close to competing with Paramore.  VersaEmerge's new EP was just utterly lackluster.

But this band does sound exactly like Paramore. A picture speaks a thousand words... ; )

I actually enjoyed this release... it was fun, but they do need to mix it up a bit, and, you know, not copy Paramore : ).

Way underwhelming.  Totally a Paramore ripoff with a little Eyes Set to Kill influence.

How is this a review? It consists of a solitary comparison that only uses pictures. It's not even like you rated it a half star. If you liked it enough to give it 3 stars, I would expect a little more than 3 image links. I'm going to stop writing 700 words an album.

Okay. Here's a proper literary critique: "Paramore + double bass drumming = Vice on Victory".

That okay for you?

A review of a solitary paragraph can be more explanatory than an unnecessary long superlative review can, or in this case, an image. ; )

I'm reviewing the next Mars Volta via the medium of interpretative dance captured on video. Hope this won't be a problem.

Lighten up.

Hey Rick. I'm not going to bother writing 63-word retorts if you're just going to post humorous images all the time.

This is my fave:

I'm totally going for the dog in that one. When I was walking back from the library last night there was a cat lurking in the shadows and it scared the crap out of me, mainly because I thought it was a kangaroo at first.

Here I thought you were exaggerating.

She actually sounds more like The Rocking Horse Winner's vocalist, but this sounds so much like Paramore's first album, musically.

Great review.  Some of these news bands on the scene (ie. Versa Emerge, Eyes Set to Kill) are just so bad and they need to be pointed out.

Ok there's no way this record came out on Saddle Creek. It should be changed in the review so as not to sully the good name of that label.

Also, where did this band come from? Can we keep kids with white sunglasses and yellow jeans out of music forever?

And on the myspace page where it lists the band members, it looks like the girl was up all night smoking crack and dying her hair in a bus station bathroom.

Also their music is bad. How did it get 3 stars?

HAHAHA so I'm at work reading this and I was at "I'm reviewing the next Mars Volta via the medium of interpretative dance captured on video. Hope this won't be a problem" and I laughed so hard my boss freaked out on me. I nearly pissed myself. I'm not sure why, I just found that sentence hilarious. Thank you for that ;)

When will this die out?? I hope God answers my prayers soon. I like the dude all the way to the left, he's trying to look all hard and shit. I'm not sure how tough or cool you look while wearing tight hot pink pants and have a patch of hair to match. This band is WAY too bright for me. Sayin'.

That picture is almost as funny as the picture of the band. Almost, but not quite.
