Nothing Personal (Bonus Track Version) - All Time Low
Their first album out of high school, Nothing Personal continues to punch with the power of dire adolescent emotions on topics about girls, senioritis, summer parties and crowning thy good with brotherhood. Like their previous works, Nothing Personal is loaded with diamond-barbed hooks, though a cherry-picked team of producers helped hone them. S*A*M & Sluggo, Matt Squire, and David Bendeth share production duties on the opening insta-hit “Weightless,” a contagiously catchy song with well thought-out lyrics, flawless musicianship, and an air-tight mix. “Break Your Little Heart” comes out of the gates sounding more aggressive as both guitars take the driver’s seat. The hormonally fueled “Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don’t) was mixed by studio wizard Butch Walker, which may account for why it’s the most infectious tune here with it’s descending “Oh-oh-oh” lure in the chorus. Conversely, summery ballad “Too Much” (produced by The-Dream) rolls smooth and slow with a delightfully overused auto-tuner.
