Album Review: Yellowcard- When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes (2011)


Say the words "April 2008" to any Yellowcard fan, and you'll be opening a can of worms you wish you didn't come anywhere near. When the band said in an interview they were going on an "indefinite hiatus" after a short acoustic tour, it sent shockwaves of sadness through the hearts of fans the band once helped to mend with their uplifting, catchy blend of pop-punk and straight-up rick. Two years later, after they saw bands like The Maine, Mayday Parade, and countless others saturate the summertime pop-punk they revolutionized, the band were done focusing on their personal lives, and it was time to re-emerge and attempt to take back the throne they left vacant that fateful April. Now, a short eight months after the official announcement of their reformation (that was on August 1, 2010), the band have wasted no time in coming out with new material as a reward for their fans' patience. But is When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes going to be able to satisfy fans waiting over four years since 2007's Paper Walls, or will it just leave fans longing for the band's pre-hiatus glory days?
