Boys like girls is great!!! Nov 24, 2008 I'd never heard of boys like girls, but I was lucky enough to hear a song by We the Kings, and I came on amazon to check them out, and saw some people comparing them to Boys like girls, so without even listening to any songs, I just decided to buy that CD as well.
I was really surprised by how good it was! I haven't been able to stop listening to it and it's been like 5 months! The songs are really catchy but in a more understated way. I'd say "5 minutes to midnight is the most punk with the riffs and melody etc, and the rest of the CD I'm not quite sure how I'd classify it. Maybe pop-punk/emo... somewhere along those lines.
Unlike some reviews which said that "The great escape" was the only good song, I highly highly disagree and I'm shocked that anyone would think that. Through and through, this is one of the most consistent CDs I've heard in terms of the quality of the tracks as a whole. Besides "me, you and my medication" and "dance hall drug", I'd say it's really hard to pick favourites, but if I had to: The great escape, 5 minutes to midnight, top of the world, and thunder, which is my favourite song.
If you're just browsing and maybe don't know anything about Boys like girls, I'd recommend you download "The great escape" or "5 minutes to midnight", and if you're looking for a lovely pop-punk ballad, "Thunder"!
Go out and grab this CD now!! I can't wait for their next CD!
Wonderful CD Nov 11, 2008 I liked the song hero/Herion and i decided that i would buy the cd to get the 2 or 3 songs i liked. i put the cd into my laptop and started to listen. I loved every song! When i usulay buy a cd i like 3 or 4 songs but on this one i love ever single song!! I would recomend this to anyone. If you want to get a good cd for yourself or someone else you should get it!!
Great Album Sep 20, 2008 I love this album has lots of great beats to it and you can easily sing along after listening to it a couple of times.
Totally Awesome Jul 29, 2008 Love the Album, love the band. I think it is a great rock CD. Really enjoy listening to the first five or six tracks but the rest of the CD is good too.

Not just a kid band Jul 19, 2008 I discovered this band through my 13 year old daughter and I can tell you that this band has a lot more depth and talent than many of those out there. To call it a "boy band", "emo" or "alternative" really does this band a disservice. I think I like them better than my daughter which may be why they haven't hit the big time yet. Maybe they are targeting the wrong people! After all, I want new music too and I am NOT cnotent to listen to re-releases of popular 80s songs performed by a bunch of has-beens in depends. This band actually has talent and they aren't afraid to experiment with it. When I listen to it I am reminded of the Outfield from the 80s, except with the talent of early U2. If they keep going the direction they are now they probably won't make it "big" as fast as some of these other kid bands which is fine by me. Hopefully they'll avoid that path and continue developing their skills and talents into the far future. After all, it took U2 10 years and 5 albums to get something in the number one spot. Either way, I almost never write reviews but this one was worth me taking the time to actually sit here and write this. If you are over 30 and have been longing for a new band with talent, a good melody, and that feel generated by the Outfield and other similar bands you'll be thrilled with this CD.
