Album Review: Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue Acoustic

In marking the ten-year anniversary of Ocean Avenue, Yellowcard have re-released the album entirely acoustic. With a newly-adopted fluidity that didn't exist in the original, Yellowcard have re-invented the 2003 album without disregarding the original elements that made it so successful in the first place. The energy is toned down, but still exists in the powerful vocal delivery of Ryan Key.

Yellowcard have taken on a dangerous feat in many aspects, but they've pulled it off and ended up with an album of high enough standards to be completely on par with the quality of the original.
