Yellowcard Album: “Paper Walls”
 Description :
On their fifth full-length, PAPER WALLS, Yellowcard prove again that they are one of the more likeable and substantive bands on the punk-pop scene. In addition to the fact that they are the only punk-pop act with a violin player, Yellowcard set themselves apart from their peers by penning catchy tunes and rocking hard, but doing both with a sense of confidence born of true authenticity.
<p>Powered by strong material and clean, muscular performances, PAPER WALLS is the sound of a young band hitting their stride. Like most pop-punk albums Yellowcard occasionally dips into sappiness, or drops in a coy, nagging chorus, but on the whole there are fewer of such moments than average, and Yellowcard's stronger moments--like the opening rocker "Take Down" or the snaky, infectious "Shrink the World"-- shine brighter.

- Well done pop/rock CD, even if a couple too many sound-alike tunes
Cory - I agree this is a better album ... "Dear Bobbie" is a great, acoustic ballady song, with almost a rockabilly beat, to it ... tells a good story, and the singer sings it in a melodic, strong voice. Some the tracks sound kind of alike, with that fast pop-punk sort of rhythm going ... "Keeper" is the track I really like on this. Has a great chorus, and a verse-to-chorus symbiosis about it that is the way a song is supposed to be done. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
- Don't Listen to the Nay-sayers
This CD is certainly different that Ocean Avenue. Yellowcard has a much more polished sound on this CD, and they continue to wow me with their punk-roots sound incorporated with a classic touch of violin. AMAZING!!! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

- Absolutely Fantastic Album!
If you liked the album "Ocean Avenue" you will love "Paper Walls"! From the very first song "Takedown" (featured in Madden 2008 by the way), to the last song "Paper Walls", every track sounds inspired and fleshed out making good use of the talents of each band member. Everything sounds great! The drums, the guitars, the singing and of course the trademark work on the violin.
One of my favorite tracks is "Dear Bobbie" which is about Key's Grandpa and his 58 year marriage to his wife. Ryan wrote great lyrics but hearing his Grandpa read the love letter is especially moving.
The DVD that comes with it includes 2 bonus acoustic tracks and some brief documentaries on the making of the CD. A great addiction to any fans collection.
Fantastic Yellowcard! This is your best album yet! Keep Rocking! And hurry and get back to Utah!

- Thank Captial Records for giving this an underrated album!
Yellowcard bounced back from a disapointing Lights and sounds album where it declined the fan base and the popularity of the band. Captial Records gave them a one more go on this to see where this album will go, boom! Paper Walls shows up and not many people even knew Yellowcard was still around nor a new album. I bought this album looking to see where this album would go, the first track "The Breakdown" brings a older past of the band's first major record "One for the kids" which really got me into this album and more excited to hear more of the tracks.
The single "Light up the sky" was a poor choice, I mean to be honest there was other tracks on the album that could of killed that song like "Afraid", "Paper Walls", "You and me and one spotlight" or "keeper". I am very very very disapointed that Captial Records didn't promote this record, infact gave up after the first single.
Now that the band is broken up and Captial records let them go, this band in many eyes are labeled a "one-hit wonder" but really in my eyes a Very UNDERRATED band that showed the world what true music is about and not bunch of MTV wannabes.
Buy this record cause it's worth every penny of it.
