![]() ![]() The little changes in "One Year, Six Month" sound great and definitely do justice to one of my favorite Yellowcard songs. For as much as Taking Back Sunday’s “acoustic album” disappointed - this one succeeds. It’s exactly what I wanted when I heard there was going to be an acoustic version of one of my favorite albums. I’m finding new things to love in re-thought out back-up vocals and subtle new melodic changes.īasically, I love this thing. The minor changes in arrangements feel well thought out, as care has obviously gone into crafting an album that surely means as much to the band as it does the fans. My experience with the acoustic version of Ocean Avenue is that the songs are a new take on my favorites without feeling out of place and without feeling as though the band just crapped this release out to cash in on nostalgia.

I can almost feel all those emotions of fear, doubt, and insecurity creep around the edges of my psyche … and the strength that listening to Ocean Avenue helped instill in me as a boy faking his way to being a man. And even though my musical tastes have changed over the years, it’s an album that I can still go back to and quickly find the memories of walking around campus with headphones on flooding back. I played that album until it wore out my disc-player (remember those?).

My first year in college was timed almost perfectly with Yellowcard’s release of Ocean Avenue – that album has forever been etched in my heart for what it meant to me as I left the comfort of home and went to California for school.
