Just Surrender – We’re in Like Sin
Artist: Just Surrender
Album: We’re in Like Sin
Label: Broken English
Purchase: Smart Punk
Release Date: August 21st, 2007
Overall: 6.0
Music: 6.5
Lyrics: 6.0
Production: 7.5
Ultimately sophomore releases have been known for falling short and not living up to the expectations created by the debut effort. As much as I hate to say it, this album is no different. We’re in Like Sin showcases a band trying to find themselves and come into their own sound. Stylistically the record encompasses a variety of genres, from gritty rock to polished pop. Despite the diversity, the album fails to standout from the pack or make much of a sonic splash. I’m not sure if the New York quartet spread themselves too thin or possibly rushed the writing process, I just can’t help but feel that they somehow missed the mark. However there are some highlights such as the single “Your Life and Mine” and the closer, “I’ll Be Here” shows much promise. Just Surrender is still one of the brighter spots in the current scene, and will no doubt continue to thrive.
Recommend if you like: Boys Night Out, The Classic Crime, pop-punk with an edge.

1. Body Language and Bad Habits

5. Your Life and Mine
6. New Declaration
7. Payback
8. You’d Be In Great Shape If You Ran Like Your Mouth
9. We’re in Like Sin
10. Something That I’m Not
11. I’ll Be Here

The Dangerous Summer‘s new EP will be out August 21st on Hopeless Records, and Metro Station will be on some big tours this fall including Just Surrender, Motion City Soundtrack, Mae and Anberlin.
For current releases be sure to pick up Tokyo Rose, The International Drive, Down to Earth Approach, and The Send‘s new albums.

The new album, Direction from The Starting Line is quite solid! Also The Receiving End of Sirens have their upcoming record streaming in its entirety on Myspace.
Sam Anacker
Interpol’s new album Our Love to Admire is another solid album, as is the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s new EP Is Is which features songs written during touring for their first record. As for upcoming releases look forward to Minus the Bear’s Planet of Ice, slated to hit August 21, and the nation-wide tour to follow!
