Brand New's Your Favourite Weapon was basically carbon-copied by Taking Back Sunday, down to even taking some of the lyrics from Brand New songs for use in theirs. Brand New deviated, but TBS got stuck in the same style; it's kind of a shame.

Anyway uhh...

Hundred Reasons, fo' sho', they started with a fantastic album, Ideas Above Our Station, but seriously dipped when they released Shatterproof is Not A Challenge, but their latest album Kill Your Own trounces both by a freakin' mile or more.

The Reindeer Section's Son of Evil Reindeer was far superior to Y'all Get Scared Now Ya Hear, but that could be put down to the fact that the artists had already worked together on an album and were given more time and production, so a more fluid product was the result.

Oh and The All-American Rejects second album was freakin' badass compared to the first one, less whine, more fun, all out musical goodness.
