Apparently a title is mandatory.

"This album is so brutal, it breaks your neck in several different places then lights you on fire while you're still breathing.



To be truthful, I think a lot of people brought this album and likes this band because of the front man, Frank Iero (Rhythm guitarist for hugely popular band My Chemical Romance). So in my opinion many of the band's "fans" suck. If you're going to listen to a band just because of the front man, you're better off listening to Panic At The Disco.



Now to the album itself.



Xo is more than likely the shortest full length album I own, clocking in at 23 minutes and 37 seconds. However, in those barely 24 minutes, you're transported to a world of unadulterated rage and hatred. The opening song "5th Period Massacre" makes it very clear that this is not going to be a walk in Candyland. Try walking the path on the edge of sanity (many times crossing over into insanity). Thats not to say that the whole album is completely deep and dark. No, in fact, "This Song Is About Being Attacked By Monsters" is a very catchy song, still dark. If I was asked to pick one song that sticks out to me the most out of this whole album, I wouldn't be able to actually pick just one. I adore this album to the point of obsession. This is one of those albums that I believe is so close to flawless, it actually physically hurts me.



I did not want to give a full out review since I think this album is worth the money and worth the time it takes to learn the lyrics."
