 Over the past year they have blown up across the scene. Forever the sickest kids has been my favorite band since they started. I loved their EP and UAM. I was nervous that all the new found fame and impact of the scene today would impact their sound. I have never been so happy to be wrong in my life. This album is even better than I could have hoped and is even better than their first records. The lyrics are awesome and the rhythms and beats are even better. I can only look forward to The Weekend: Saturday and Sunday!....full text |

| Accept it. Forever the Sickest Kids are here to stay. They will garner more fame and will sell more records than many of the bands that actually deserve it. While they may not be breaking down creative barriers like Thrice or Brand New, they typically make music that is fun and appealing to audiences. However, there is a fine line between good fun music and bad fun music. Forever the Sickest Kids’ The Weekend: Friday falls into the latter category, showing not only a degradation of lyrical substance, but also a lack of creativity. As previously mentioned, the primary pitfall of the EP is its poor lyrics. While Forever the Sickest Kids have never displayed strong writing abilities, their previous efforts were on par with their peers. Instead of opting to use their previously successful formula, the band has relied heavily on catchy hooks. The result is half-baked songs with filler verses and repetition of lyrics. The primary offenders of this are the tracks “She Likes (Bittersweet Love)” and “Hip Hop Chick” because they repeat lyrics ad nauseum. Lyrics aside, Forever the Sickest Kids show little creativity. They often recycle elements that can be found in their previous work or borrow them from other artists. The track “Do or Die” opens in a way that is reminiscent of Boys Like Girls’ “Love Drunk.” In addition, the band’s single “She Likes (Bittersweet Love)” contains a melody that seems to plagiarize the Summer Set’s “The Boys You Do (Get Back at You).” Even the band’s horrendous and ill-advised “Hawkbot” sounds like a 3OH!3 B-side. By the end of the EP, one is able to decipher a certain pattern; a song will either contain the overuse of synthesizer effects or a programmable drum beat....full text |

| Both set a condescending tone, implying that the writer is above such fare, forced to stoop down to such a level because (s)he believes that despite it being beneath him/her, there is nothing valid in the way of criticism which can be levied against said album. Forever the Sickest Kids may be outside the realm of high-art, having little besides over-driven hormones fuelling its lyrical content, but the boys sure do know how to let off bombs of high-octane electro-pop which spike the fun-o-meter to levels not seen since we dressed as Gary Glitter for Halloween. Perhaps all their songs do sound like rip-offs of Angels & Airwaves, New Found Glory, Sum 41 and Bowling For Soup, but there's the ever-present electro edge to add the HelloGoodbye vibe to the evening. The smiles are liable to last until the rather lacklustre final act which throws in a rather hideous remix track featuring Chae Hawk. It would be the polite version if we said it belonged on the floor alongside Paris Hilton's attempts at acting. "Hawkbot", as the semi-atrocity is known, features every contrived attempt at urban music one can imagine, albeit with the complete absence of any melody, meaning or purpose. High-pitched autotune, constant reminders of rapper's name and year, stuttered vocal editing: ch-ch-ch-check, limitless uses of filler words, awkward structure jumps and bad scratching....full text |
