Album Of The Week: All Time Low - Dirty Work

I know I said that Don't Panic is the best album All Time Low ever recorded but I'm not too sure anymore. 


Dirty Work means emotions. It means love, energy and passion. It makes you think about what went wrong in your relationships, it helps you to get over these relationships. It makes you cry, it makes you smile, it makes you sing and it gives you hope. It contains the song I'd marry if I could: Time Bomb. It contains the song that makes me dance on the streets even though there are people around: Do You Want Me (Dead?). It contains the song which gives me this warm, fuzzy feeling in my stomach: Get Down On Your Knees And Tell Me You Love Me. It contains songs that inspire me to write cheesy love scenes for no further purpose: No Idea, Under A Paper Moon and A Daydream Away. For all the kids out there who are too punk rock for "normal" Christmas songs, the four guys from Baltimore offer one that improves your holiday a hundred times: Merry Christmas, Kiss My Ass. It contains songs I skip when I'm not in the mood for them.

Dirty Work is honest. It's pure, it's happy and it's melancholic. The mood of the whole record changes within minutes which is brilliant. It's more mature than Nothing Personal but not as mature as Don't Panic, it's everything I need to be happy for a while.
