I have mixed feelings-Nothing Personal

Here is my review on All Time Low's new record, Nothing Personal.

All Time Low. Possibly one of the best exports from Maryland. They were recognized as Alternative Press 'band of the year' for 2008, as well as being one of their 'most anticipated albums.' Their second full-length under Hopeless Records, Nothing Personal, had a wide range of producers, leaving no ryhme or reason to the flow of the songs. Matt Squire produced majority of NP, as well as their 2007 album So Wrong, It's Right, and his songs are not hard to pick out. Squire produced single "Weightless" is an anthem for the young adult who doesn't know which way is up, and shows off ALT's main lyricist Alex Gaskarth's strive for lyrical excellance. Awesome job there Squire, however songs such as "Stella" and "The Party Song" come across a tad over-produced and have a re-occuring theme of a scratched-record affect. Even techno-beat ballad "Too Much" has a stutter. Too bad, a techno-beat ballad would have been genius otherwise. We also note Squire's songs by the building bridge that can be heard in various tunes that he's taken part in. Overall, Squire's touchs gave fans the All Time Low they love, but with just a pinch of "maturity."
Butch Walker also had part in songs "Damned If I do Ya" and " Sick Little Games." Walker brought out more technical guitar and drum parts, which fans will love to hear. These songs will transfer to a live show very well. Both songs will have you in a car singing them at the top of your lungs. Way to go Walker!
S*A*M and Sluggo's songs, "Lost in Stereo" and "Hello Brooklyn" will leave fans, and critics, mixed feelings about their producing skills. Whereas girls everywhere will be shaking around to dance anthem "Lost in Stereo," "Hello Brooklyn" will unlikly make your top 25 on Itunes. "Brooklyn" has a musical feeling, and reminded me of "High School Musical 3" song "I want it all" with the screaming out of random cities. (Don't even act like you don't know what I am talking about!)
David Bendeth is our forth producer with songs "Walls" and "Therapy." Why mence words? Both songs are over-produced. Gaskarth's ability to sting together simple words to make outstanding phrases is what saved both of these songs.
Overall, Nothing Personal will give fans everything that they've been waiting for. All new with sounds that are new to the band, as well as their fans, but with a tip of the hat to the oldie but goodie songs. However I have a feeling that one will want to hear these aongs live to make proper judgement. To Alex, Jack, Rian, and Zack, amazing job! However producers, lay off of the fun toys. Alex has a very noteable voice, and impressive vocal range, so let him sing! These guys have instuments, and it would have been nice to hear them more often. Even if they claim to not know how to play them. If fans wanted to hear stuff that is Lip-Sync-able, they would be listening to Lady Gaga, and wouldn't know who All Time Low was.

Review my Review please! I wrote that strickly from a critcs point of view. As a FAN, I absolutly adore this album, but stand by what I wrote. I do feel parts are over-produced, even as a fan.
