Oh 'A', why must you stAy? Why not go AwAy and leAve us in peAce, grAnting us respite from your sAme-As-AlwAys purely throwAwAy pop-punk histrionics? Even your squeAky 'n' bouncy vocAlist, JAson, is on our side:

"You'd be better off without me."

Too true, JAson, too true. The 'Old Folks' And 'Foghorn' formulA is older thAn the hills thAt you obviously hide behind, shielding your never-chAnging wAys from contemporAry influences. Not even Deftones button-presser Terry DAte can butch this emo-ed punklite shite up into something At leAst compArAble to, sAy, Jimmy EAt World. Although, thAt wouldn't exActly be complimentAry now, would it?

Now, be good Adults And stop plAying kiddie tricks, As upper-cAsing every mention of your bAnd nAme is A more chAllenging And fulfilling pAstime thAn listening to this drivel.

Why didn't you just use the 'Find and Replace' function contained within your friendly word processor? Converting every lower-case 'a' into a healthy 'A' would then take a matter of milliseconds.

You could apply it to Oasis reviews too - just replace "Truth" with "Hype" and you've got a perfect capsule for their new album.

Always glad to help.

"..button-presser Terry DAte >>can<< butch this emo-ed punklite.."

THAT 'A' IS LOWER CASE!
Sorry.

The fact that this band is still going when all his 'peers' ( Symposium, Midget, Gel... ) have split since ages is simply amazing.
A shame the same can't be said about their music.
A 1 and 1/2 rating seems much too high after reading the article.
Is it for perseverance or for pity ?

'A' - Better Off With Him

tis their worst single to date i'll say that much.

But It's like supporting a lower league football team. In my heart I know theyre not that good, but still support them anyway.....

I [heart] A.
