Editorial Reviews

The album title Paper Walls comes from the song of the same name, which begins "Let's burn a hole so we can climb out of these paper walls in this empty house." It's a reference to the barriers that built up between the band members over the years and everyone's desire to tear down the obstacles and heal old scars.

"If you really love each other as much as we do, you want to knock those walls down and get back to the place where you enjoy being with each other and making music together," says Key. "The song is basically saying lets get back out there and remember why this is important to us, why we love being on stage and why we love making records."

Album opener "The Takedown" starts with a shot an indelible guitar hook and ferocious drums charge forth as Yellowcard's trademark mix of airtight vocal harmonies, entwined guitar lines and flourishes of violin crackle with energy. "Fighting" brings together the band's many strengths tight, melodic, propulsive riffs gather steam before launching into an epic, undeniable chorus. And bruised but beautiful lead single "Light Up the Sky" has an even more massive payoff, its refrain won't leave your head in this lifetime, but allows for some ringing dissonance beneath it all.

Deluxe CD/DVD contains: Making of the album, making of the video, 2 bonus audio tracks and photo gallery.

Absolutely Fantastic Album!

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2007

Verified Purchase

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!

to Lights & Sounds. This time around we find the guys of Yellowcard coming with a more hard hitting and direct sound. Via the opening song on Paper Walls "the Takedown" and it sets up the next song "Fighting" very nicely. It's kind of like that throughout the cd with the tempo slowing down a bit more towards the end of the cd on track 10 "Dear Bobbie" which has a more personal and end depth touch to it than others. I think it would take a few more listens to get the full effect of that song.

The cd ends on a pretty good note with the title track "Paper Walls" and is rather interesting with the choir in the beginning of the song. It soon speeds up after that though and brings to a close what is sure to be one of the better albums released this year.

For real, I just love this CD.

I guess if you're having a hard time deciding whether you should get it, I could share that it is TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY WORTH IT. Yellowcard's musical style doesn't sound exactly the same as when I started listening to them (their Ocean Avenue album), but it hasn't completely changed either. It sounds like... they sound exactly as they have always been trying to sound, and they're just becoming more experienced, musically.

So yeah. Buy this.

Best of Yellowcard

Paper Walls is Yellowcard's best CD yet. The lyrics are meaningful and the music is (as always) amazing. My favorite tracks are "Paper Walls", "Shadows and Regrets", and "Dear Bobbie". The first time I heard "Dear Bobbie, I wasn't sure what I was listening to and thought the CD was damaged. But then I started it over and listend more closely and I was blown away. "Dear Bobbie" is such a sweet and endearing song. This CD is amazing and I highly recommend it for anyone who loves Yellowcard or has never bought one of their CDs.

This is Yellowcard at their best, the CD is jam packed with songs that could all be radio hits. "Shrink the World" in my opinion is the best track on the album, along with "Light up the sky". Though really the entire album is note worthy. I actually bought this CD twice (one was for an autograph)! If you loved Ocean Avenue, you'll love this album. This is the most solid album I've had in years.

With this album you can tell how much time and effort Yellowcard put into their lyrics and music composition.
There isn't a single song on this album that I don't love and relate to in some way.
The lyrics on this album are probably the deepest and most heartfelt compared to the other albums they've done.
This is a a must have for any Yellowcard fan.

Yellowcard una banda que poco a poco fue ganandose el lugar que hasta hoy tiene...desde su primer disco me encanto el estilo que tienen, todos sus discos, la mayoria de las canciones son muy buenas, y claro este no se queda atras, siempre sin perder su estilo y sus buenas melodias.
Recomendadisimo si te gusta el buen punk rock melodico.

Eine leider viel zu unbekannte Band. Sie machen super Songs mit Melodien, die man in den 0815 Songs nicht zu hören bekommt. Viele Songs beinhalten super instrumentale Solis, die jedoch keine Überhand nehmen

Light it up and burn it down!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 23, 2011

This album is one of my absolute favourites and ever since my 1st listen to it I have been hooked on Yellowcard. I was completely blown away by the ambitious, epic quality to the songs and how amazingly energetic they are too and have loved it ever since. Angels and airwaves are my favourite band but this is the next best thing with more energy. Light up the sky was the song that got me into the band and is my all time favourite Yellowcard song and I wasn't disappointed when I found that all the rest of the songs on the album are just as epic. Whereas the previous album Lights and sounds had a lot of negativity in it and was pretty dark this album is hopeful and takes you far away from all of that into a lot of positivity. Ryan described this album as going through all of that bad and coming out of it and looking toward the future with hope. You can definitely feel that throughout the album and it pulls you in. I definitely feel like Yellowcard reached their pinnacle of talent on this album and helped them go out with a bang before their hiatus.
The album artwork for the album matches the music's epic feel with the cover of a perspective of glowing rows of houses and the city behind with the stars in the sky. The inner artwork matches and ties together the albums title song Paper walls and I love the whole feeling of it.

I think the production on the album is perfect. The album kick-starts with The takedown and I mean literally kick-starts with it's fast pace and hugely energetic feel it's one of the best on the album. I think all of the elements of the guitar, drums, bass and violin fit in perfectly on this album and this song is a great example of this. Ryan's calling out to a girl not to turn her back on him because he still feels something for her but he's being taken down by the situation and can't let go. The solo is amazing and shows the quality of guitar work on this venture. Fighting is another amazing tune with a similar feel to it. Shrink the world is one of my favourites where Ryan says he wants to shrink the world so he could be with someone. The energy and pace is incredible in this song with another amazing musical interlude at the middle 8. Keeper is so epic about wanting to be with someone and wanting something real and I love the rhythm of the song with softer verses and a powerful chorus. Amazing! Light up the sky is the best song in my opinion and is the climax of the album with a hugely epic quality and amazingly beautiful, energetic music. Shadows and regrets is a feel-good song which slows things down a bit with acoustic guitar as the backdrop with electric coming in after a while. It's so grand talking about how things were easy as kids and how everything has changed, with an inspirational bridge.

Five becomes four is one of the 3 weaker songs in my opinion. I think this is the best of the 3 and still has that massively epic feel with Ryan stating 'I never asked to be the one'. Afraid is another of my favourites with a fantastic sound to it. The chorus has to be the catchiest on the album. Ryan's singing about trying to get someone but not being able to find them. Date line (I am gone) is another 1 of the 3 and has quite soft verses with a pretty mellow chorus. I discovered the other day that the 'International date line' is a longitudinal line on a globe/map. It goes to show Ryan's intelligence when writing songs. Dear Bobbie is an all acoustic song which Ryan wrote about his grandparents with his grandfather reading out extracts of a letter to his wife. It's a beautiful song and even though it has a different feel from the rest of the album it fits in well. You and me and one spotlight is the last of the 3 and is a much less energetic song compared with the first part of the album but the epicness shines throughout and it`s got a great chorus. Cut me, Mick is a strangely titled song but brings back that fantastic energetic and powerful feel. Ryan sings about reaching out for someone when things get bad and how they keep him 'on the ground'. It's a great tune. Paper walls is one of the best on the album with energy, epic quality and powerful lyrics throughout. This song brings a lot of hope, talking about never giving up on dreams and getting rid of any of the hurt inside to start afresh. It's a fantastic ending to an amazing album.

The album was the last on Capitol records before the band got dropped by their record label and went on hiatus before reforming again last year. They reached their musical peak with this album and I think everyone should take a listen to it because I would recommend it to anyone and it might just inspire you to great things.
