    Same story, but mine was a X-treme 40 ESP3 Philips with Dynamic Bass Boost.

    I never really stuck with these guys after, but damn did Ocean Avenue hit hard. I remember my first listen in the car ride home from the record store and being blown away by the huge step up in production value.

    Dang I feel old. I first heard of Yellowcard from hearing Sure Shot on MP3.com back in the day. The hype for Ocean Avenue was massive. I definitely downloaded it from mIRC within 30 minutes of it leaking. Definitely holds up and the production on that album sounds so good.

    Every so often I’m reminded about the absolute monster year for music that was 2003. No single year can even come close to matching 2003 for impact on my musical tastes.

    Especially that summer. It was just classic after classic.

    This album is still my favourite YC release.

    I've moved away from pop punk slowly over the last few years, and some of the records of that 'golden generation' have aged quite poorly. Not Ocean Avenue though. The songwriting still sounds as fresh as ever, the hooks haven't faded one bit and the lyricism and vocals still cut through and resonate so well. Up there as one of my favourite albums of all time.

    I feel like OA is pretty much a flawless album. There’s not a bad song on it.

    Ocean Avenue was the reason I took up the drums actually, just listening to LP fly around the kit... made me want to do it too.

    The resounding feeling I get with Ocean Avenue and Paper Walls, now that both are over a decade old, is that the albums stand the test of time better than a *large* majority of albums in the genre. This band was really, really good.

    Ocean Ave to Southern Air all hold up perfectly (Lift a Sail and Self Titled are too early to say but I can’t see how they won’t).

    Remember when Miles Apart was the theme song for one of the Road Rules seasons?

    Probably one of the best pop-punk albums ever, honestly

    It’s just nuts! May 6th was Take this to your grave and the next week was Good Mourning. I mean, come on!

    Hot Damn and You Come Before You were released on the same day! So were In Keeping Secrets and Transatlanticism.

    Also, Deloused in a Comatorium came out that year too.

    "Ocean Avenue" (the song) is still widely included on party playlists at bars/parties amongst the typical edm/hip-hop/top 40 you'd expect to be played

    I count 14 of those that I STILL listen to with some regularity so I would say it was a strong year.

    Pretty much confirms that the band members were the ones who wanted the lawsuit and not the label then like some people optimistically thought, huh? If the band were the ones who chose to drop it anyways
