"This CD is certainly not the same as Controversy Loves Company. You can still tell it is The Audition but its not a repeat. There are times when it sounds a little bit like Emery without the screaming, partially because of the similarity between the singers voices and at other times it sounds a little like Panic At The Disco. Those were just the thoughts that popped into my head when I was listening to it. Probably not quite as good as their first CD but it is still a very good listen."
Think twice before buying this one...

"I loved The Audition as soon as I heard "Dance Halls Turn to Ghost Towns" off of their first album. I love the catchy 'bang hour head and rock out' type of melody that The Audition deliver. I thought the best songs off of Controversy Loves Company was "You've Made Us Conscious," "It's Too Late," and "Don't Be So Hard." So that's where I'm coming from...
This album though, is far from that. It's somewhat melodic, and there are some pretty good riffs, but the songs aren't really stick-in-your-head memorable or the kind of song that makes you want to sing it in the shower. It's obvious that The Audition wanted to experiment with different sounds on this album, and they definitely did.
I don't want to say that this album is bad, far from it--but it wasn't what I was expecting after listening to Controversy Loves Company. Think twice before buying this one."
Catchy songs

"Love this band!Can't figure out why more people don't know who they are. Defintely a little Panic At The Disco sound to these guys, but who cares every song on Champion is very good...."
Great Fallow up.

"Champion is by far the best yet from the Audition..the vocals are great and there is just something infectious about this band..They have that awesome Pop Punk rock sound but with a nice Grove to them..its awesome..If i can give it more stars i would.not one bad song on here."
