Album Notes
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Gym Class Heroes: Travis McCoy (vocals); Disashi Lumuba-Kasongo (guitar); Eric Roberts (bass guitar); Matt McGinley (drums).
The follow-up to Gym Class Heroes' breakthrough album, AS CRUEL AS SCHOOL CHILDREN, 2008's THE QUILT furthers the upstate New York ensemble's rap-rock sound. Not surprisingly, Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump, a frequent band associate, has his hand in the proceedings, producing half of the album, while hip-hop gurus Cool & Dre helm many of the other tracks. Highlights of the energetic outing include the playful "Cookie Jar" (featuring The-Dream) and the romantic "Live Forever (Fly With Me)," which makes great use of guest Daryl Hall's falsetto vocals.
Industry Reviews
4.5 stars out of 5 -- Every song has an insistent hook, but despite the high-profile hip-hop guests, nothing feels calculated.
3 stars out of 5 -- Gym Class Heroes can approximate the ecstatic pop of the Jackson 5 as naturally as if they were dancing to 'ABC,' and they skillfully pilfer reggae and pop punk, too.
[I]t's polished, radio-friendly pop. Longtime collaborator Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy produced half of the disc's 14 songs, anchoring it with guitar-driven tracks that cater to GCH's core fans.
