"First of all "A torrid Love Affair" is one of the best written emo/screamo songs of all time. This cd is a great follow up to BB&BK. "I GOt Punched in the Nose" is a great opener with catchy lyrics and guitar. "Hold on Tightly" is another great lyrical song with a electrical sound. "The subleties that make..." is prob one of the most catchy songs on the cd."Anatomy of the Journey" is an amazing song that starts off with dark screaming and goes into detail to explain following the sounds of a bullet to a murder scene. Boys Night Out combines screaming and singing better than any other band Ive heard. Go Pick UP MYS now."

Boys Night Out - Make Yourself Sick

"Boys Night Out pulls off the ever-popular "smooth vocals & screaming" sound with unmatched superiority. That being said, these Canadians don't belt out anything ground breaking; but when front man Conor Lovat-Fraser yelps into his mic, he does so with convincing attitude. This is fun music; and while the lyrical content can seem a tad repetitive, it too has it's novelty. Check out, "The First Time It Shouldn't Taste Like Blood," and "The Fine Art of Making It Out Alive." 3/5"

Dark pop-punk screamo hardcore bliss

"Boys Night Out is a band that only comes along every once in a while. They put out music that literally has no flaws. This music can satisfy the ears of so many different people - Boys Night Out mixes screaming hardcore and crazy riffs with a lighter morbid pop punk feel. One song is even techno influenced (#5). The whole sound they create is really unique. If you heard each of the musicians separately on their own, you would be able to recognize that they were from Boys Night Out. The lyrics stand out alot, you don't find writing that good with most of your emo bands today. The production on this CD is a lot better than the production on their EP, but other than that I think they are both about the same quality. The EP was more hardcore-influenced compared to Make Yourself Sick, which took the moody pop-punk alot farther. They pull this blend of styles off so perfectly you'll wish other bands followed suit and created a new genre that sounded like this. Because believe me, they don't sound like any other band. Exceptional vocals, lyrics, guitar, basslines, drumming, and production - if I could I would give this CD a 6 instead of a 5.



1. I Got Punched in the Nose for Sticking My Face in Other People's Business (9/10) - Good way to start off the album, just enough intensity to get you psyched but doesn't deck you out with too much heaviness.



2. (Just Once) Let's Do Something Different (10/10) - Catchy as hell, really good lyrics. One of the best tracks.



3. First Time It Shouldn't Taste Like Blood (10/10) - My personal favorite song. Really nice guitar riffs, some of the best lyrics on the disc, and one of the sickest breakdowns on the disc as well. You will sing along to this one.



4. It's Dylan, You Know the Drill (7/10) - Pretty nice guitar, not the best vocals on this CD.



5. Hold on Tightly, Let Go Lightly (9/10) - Most different song out of the 10. Drum machine provides a nice beat, and makes this song really catchy while it's wistful at the same time.



Tracks 6-9 are all 10/10, I believe this is the best section of the CD (other than #3). All are really addictive to listen to and ridiculously catchy.



10. Yeah, No... I Know... (8/10) - A slow paced jam out closer. Repetive lyrics as it fades out (classic of the closing songs). Not one of the best tracks but not one to be overlooked.



Boys Night Out is the best thing coming out of Canada since...well damn I guess they are the best thing that has come out of Canada! If you are into emo, hardcore, screamo, pop-punk, or punk, you will like this CD."
