Has All Time Low Reached an All Time High?

As many of you may know the pop punk sensation All Time Low released a new album just last month called Dirty Work. This is their first album on their new label Interscope, which is a huge deal for them.


The band's members have remained the same with Alexander Gaskarth on vocals and rhythm guitar, Jack Barakat playing lead guitar and backing vocals, Zachary Merrick playing bass and backing vocal, and Rian Dawson on drums. However, even thought all the same members remain, All Time Low's sound has changed.

Many of All Time Low's songs now have more of a pop feel now as compared to the punk sound that skyrocketed them up the charts. There are some songs that still stick to the old formula used in their previous albums such as "Nothing Personal" and "So Wrong, It's Right." The new cd is overall very uptempo and catchy. All time Low has definitely lost none of the charisma that we all fell in love with them for. The question is how will their fans react to the new sound?

"Dirty Work" Tracklist:
1. "Do You Want Me (Dead?)"                      2:46
2. "I Feel Like Dancin'"                                   3:00

7. "Under a Paper Moon"                               3:02
8. "Return the Favor"                                      3:41
9. "No Idea"                                                  4:25

Suggested tracks from "Dirty Work":
1. Do You Want Me (Dead?)
2. I Feel Like Dancin'
5. Time Bomb
7. Under A Paper Moon


Tune Junkie's overall score for "Dirty Work":

After listening to the new album multiple times Tune Junkie gives "Dirty Work" 5 out of 5 stars. It took a little bit to get used to the new more poppy sound, but the album is amazing. The best thing about this album is that it is not one of those albums were you have a couple favorites and don't care about the rest of the tracks. This is an album that can be listened to in it's entirety and not have to skip around the tracks to find a song you like. If you like this genre you will like the whole thing.
