Allister Nearly three years after the release of Dead Ends and Girlfriends, Allister released their follow up titled Last Stop Topically, Allister didn't change the themes of their songs. Only six songs off the 16 track album don't have anything to do with girls. Interestingly enough, "Radio Player" and "Somewhere Down on Fullerton" are two songs that have nothing to do with girls and are the two major singles off the album. The lyrics on Last Stop Suburbia have more depth than the band's previous album and the actual songs are longer than Musically, Last Stop Suburbia is filled with enough hooks to keep an avid fisherman happy, The album art represents the title of the album, with a bus crashed into a suburban-looking home and a guy playing the guitar on the roof of what looks like the same house. Allister has once again given us a textbook pop-punk album that's going to appeal to fans of New Found Glory. No matter how many pop-punk bands hit the market, it's hard to deny the addictiveness of the music. XROXX Album Rating: XXX (3 X's out of a possible 5 X's) Adam K. Zakroczymski III

as well as harmonies that stick in the mind well after listening to the album. "Flypaper" uses sharp starts and stops to set it apart from other tracks, while "The One That Got Away" and "Know it All" are high-paced, in-your-face punk rock tracks. The vocals are clean, still high pitched and the vocal harmonies are perfectly inserted in all the right places on nearly every track.
