Yellowcard had their major breakthrough with their 2003 album, Ocean Avenue, featuring the hit singles Ocean Avenue and Only One and sold millions of copies. A decade later after many albums and singles sold, they are still active in the music scene and continue to make their fans happy with their music and making them one of the veterans in the pop-rock industry of today's generation.
To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the album, the band decided to re-release the album with an acoustic version with the same tracklist. It started out as a rumor but it was confirmed when they had a show here in Manila back in May.
They're one of my favorites and I was anticipating the release of this album as much as everyone else. Thought there were no new songs, they did not disappoint. Vocals were still on point and the songs still sound as if they were brand new.
Some may wonder why they had to do this instead of releasing a new album instead, which they did last year, and I find a good answer to that. This album wasn't to show that they still have "it" which they do nor to show that they are better this time around but it's a chance for fans to re-imagine the album a whole lot more. Ten years have passed and many things have changed and you may have a different perspective on the songs by now.
Though they did not alter the music, it still felt magical this time around.
