CD Description
'Homesick' is the third full length album from Ocala, Florida based five piece outfit A Day To Remember. Produced and recorded by New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbet, the album sees the band continue with their unique style - taking the heavier elements of hardcore and screamo and cleverly addingthe melodic sound of pop punk - while in turn single-handedly creating the genre "pop-mosh".

Customer Reviews

Amazing.
This new album completely blows 'For Those Who Have Heart' (previous album) out of the water. Nearly EVERY song on this album is incredible and you will 100% like at least one song on this album, guaranteed. They deliver a good balance of heavy screams which then break down into beautiful melodic chorus' which will get you singing along.

I could say much more but honestly there isn't any reason to, if you're a fan of post-hardcore, melodic hardcore music then you're going to like this. A Day To Remember have a great unique sound which is a MUST to listen.

Homesick by A Day to Remember
An excellent album by a band most commonly described as the heaviest 'pop' band going. Don't let this description fool you! Plus together the incredibly heavy, gut wrenching riffs with the melodic yet powerful growl singing not forgetting to add the fast paced and well timed drumming and you get Homesick by A Day to Remember. With Jeremy McKinnon's incredible ability to deal out pounding and heavy singing but then change suddenly to insanely melodic and catchy lyrics you'll be listening to this album again and again.

Great album
Hi guys. First of all Homesick is a great album. But not the best screamo album thats going to be out this year.

Yes it does have some mind blowing songs and a couple that are going to be in my list of favourite songs.
I was happy that they had stuck to writing catchy pop type songs but still having their own sound with the brutal screaming and heavy breakdowns.

The 2 songs they released on their myspace page (Downfall of us all & Welcome to the family) are 2 of the ones that stick out on the album. Downfall of us all starts of in typical ADTR fasion, with a catchy intro and pop influenced verses. Welcome to the family was (in my opinion) influenced by A plot to bomb the panhandle (Last album). Again, catchy chorus, heavy guitars, heavy screaming and a decent breakdown.

The BEST song on the album (and alot of people are going to agree with me on this one) is 'I'm made of wax Larry, what are you made of?'. Wow. Talk about catchy songs. I seriously dont know how they do it. With their heavy style and screaming, you would think its hard to sing along. But it is not. This song also has one of the best screamo breakdowns in the history of screamo bands. Seriously if you have not heard this song before, and you are into bands like Silverstein, LHH, ADTR etc then you MUST listen to it.

ADTR's style is awesome, ok the guitarists arent solo experts or anything, but who needs to be a guitar shredding genius to write great guitar riffs? The rhythm guitars are second to none and these are the 2 best guitairists on the screamo scene. The drummer is exceptional as always and the singing/screaming is mind blowing. If you havent ever heard ADTR (and you like bands like The devil wears prada, Silverstein, Escape the fate and even Underoath) then BUY this album. Dont think about it. Buy it. Like now. And do this band a favour as they are one of the best in their genre, and also I feel they will be contending with Silverstein for the greatest band on Victory Records
