I'm a fan (and you should be too) because... they r the best band. i love every song on the cd, which is VERY rare. the great escape is my great escape. i have listened to that song and started crying. thunder is soo great, i have the lyrics on my notebook for school. the chorus is the best, i mean who can get lyrics like that! "ur voice was the soundtrack of my summer, do u know ur unlike any other, u'll always be my thunder" "ur eyes are the bright of all the colors, i dont wanna ever love another" "so bring on the rain, and bring on the thunder". and the songs make u wanna jsut jump up and scream! BLAST it in ur car and just drive!! especially at Five Minutes to Midnight. LoL! and Up Against the Wall!! "who said thats its better to have loved then lost, i wish that i had never loved at all" AMAZING!! ok... i can just go on and on about every song but i wont. and also, Paul and Martin r SOO hott!! =)
