microwave37 Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 3 1/2 out of 5 Fierce Benatar heir leads enterprising pop punkers On their second album in less than two years, this melodic Tennessee foursome deliver everything that a group of new-school mall punks angling for the big time should--massive guitar riffs, sweetly infectious choruses, and soaring power ballads that are sure to get some play at this year's winter formal. Their biggest asset, though, is Hayley Williams, an 18-year-old siren with a killer fashion sense and an undeniable knack for writing contemplative love songs. In a scene overrun by boring boys with flat-ironed hair, she stands apart. Call her Karen Emo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parawhore815 Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I am not calling her Karen Emo. Thats all I have to say about this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrowncoat Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Well, at least they didn't hate it. In fact, they liked it about as much as any supposedly hip music magazine could lol...I think Rolling Stone and Spin have a rule where they aren't allowed to give any "scene" record over 3 1/2 stars.

XMusicDudetteX Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Okay....Where was Karen Emo spawned from? What the heck?! HER NAME IS NOT EVEN KAREN. IF THEY SAID LIKE, "CALL HER HAYLEY EMO" THEN IT WOULD BE A LITTLE MORE UNDERSTANDABLE. But Karen Emo? WHO IS KAREN?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
