One of music's premier pop punk bands, Four Year Strong, are set to release their heavily anticipated third full length album, Enemy of the World, on Decaydance/Universal Motown Records on March 9th. The band, Dan O'Connor (Vocals/Guitar), Alan Day (Vocals/Guitar), Josh Lyford (Vocals/Synth), Jake Massucco (Drums), and Joe Weiss (Bass), was formed in Massachusetts in 2001 after O'Connor, Day, and Massucco met through mutual friends. With influences like Lifetime, Saves the Day, Gorilla Biscuits, and New Found Glory, FYS has always strived to create music that they themselves would enjoy as listeners. Their motivation has manifested itself in a fluid mix of everything from punk pop to hardcore to indie rock. Their distinct sound and incredibly energetic live shows has led to their inclusion on countless national tours and also caught the attention of Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, who signed FYS to his label Decaydance Records in February 2008. The band's heightened profile hasn't stopped them from working diligently as they continued a hectic touring schedule last year as a part of the Rockstar Taste of Chaos tour and co-headlining a summer tour with Set Your Goals.

Good Stuff
This album is solid, I can't really say much bad about it. The sound quality compared to the last album Rise or Die Trying is noticeably improved and the songs seem much more tightly knit. The songs are all pretty good, but the only reason I give it 4/5 is because there is nothing here that caught my ear. All the songs are B+ material and aren't as catchy as the last album was. The ones that seem to actually be catchy seem a bit repetitive and get old after a few listens such as "Wasting Time". However there are some gems on this album, like "What The Hell Is A Gigawatt?", "Nineteen with Neck Tats", "One Step at a Time", and "This Body Pays the Bill$". Those songs enough are worth the price of admission. I've been listening for several days now and I feel that the album will grow on me, I was just hoping for something to knock my socks off from the beginning.Final Verdict: Do yourself a favor and buy it now.

Good Album
Four year strong is a really good melodic hardcore/pop punk band. This is a quality album that has some really good catchy songs. This can be described as the bridge record from "Rise or Die Trying" and "In Some Way, Shape or Form". It lacks some of the polish and structure of "In some way.." and is a little heavier than "Rise.." which makes some songs seem a little lackluster in comparison to others. This is still an album that is worth owning if you are a fan of the band or genre as there are some killer tracks throughout the album.

Vinyl Was Perfect - Brand New and Orange!
I ordered this one in Vinyl (already had it on CD) it was brand new and sealed in the sleeve. I think the one I got was a special edition or something because the record itself is Bright slightly-translucent Orange! It plays perfectly and sound is great. definitely one of my favorite albums!

Solid rock
Happened upon this band by accident and never looked back. The dual singers play well off of each other and the music is solid. If you like even one song, buy the album.

Awesome album to gave, Gold colored LP!
This is my favorite album by this group. It came with a colored LP which was a nice surprise. Amazon has gotten very good at packaging Vinyl records now, so it arrived in great condition. You cannot beat this price on this album either.

最高ではないけど・・・
かなり心に響いた。強いてマイナスポイントを挙げれば、後半の曲のメロディがやや弱く印象に残りにくいことか・・・。 個人的には特にM2とM5が気に入った!おバカなイメージを持っていたが、シンミリした曲も多くて印象が大分変わった。

ますます パワーアップ!!!
このヘヴィーさ、かっこよさ、技術力、すべてに関してパワーアップしてます!!!!いったいどこまで 突き進むのか、リリースすればするほど 限界を超えてます。思わず首を振りたくなるアルバムです。レビューを見るとけっこうこの作品は、賛否両論ですが、前作が気に入っていた人は、満足すると思いますよ。A Day To Remmenberが好きな人も ぜひ。

Awesome Album
Discovered the band a few years ago on Spotify and loved them, seen them live about 5 times now and they've always been great live so I thought it was finally time to buy the albums.Loving having the physical album now and can't wait to see them again.The cover art folds out for a poster, I've always loved the cover and to have it bigger is awesome, might try and put the design on a t-shirt as I haven't been able to.
