No Picture mason Average	#1 by mason coats at Sep 26, 2007 at 1:41 AM EST
	A correction on the lyrics... 'When the smoke clears You can consider us even'

No Picture Kyle Wanna Be	#2 by Kyle Kom at Sep 26, 2007 at 2:12 AM EST
	Well Im from the states and NO ONE here knows about AoF, I heard about them from a candaian friend of mine, and i listen to there first single "Water Wings" and was hooked. Crisis Is defintetly the best album put together by this amazing band. While Dallas Green is singing melodicly in one ear and George Screaming in the other, While Wade is trying to do both at the same time is amazing. The Drummer! Oh god the drummer is the best drummer ive ever heard. Yes the second one not the first one that quit. Damn i wish i could remember his name. Anyway, The drummers talent can be heard throughout: We Are The Sound, This Could Be Anywhere In The World, Boiled Frogs, and Keep It On Wax. So I would have to give Alexisonfire a Five out of five. Keep up the good work guys! (amd dont ever sell out)...(Oh and get MTV or Fuse to put You guys on air.)...(that would be cool)

No Picture GENT BENT Wanna Be	#3 by GENT BENT at Sep 26, 2007 at 2:48 PM EST
	Jeez, people, this song isn't some deep and hidden mystery wrapped in an enigma like some other songs. It is what it is; a guy going around setting mailboxes on fire. Probably because he's pissed for whatever reason.

No Picture Jon Wanna Be	#4 by Jon Garcia at Sep 26, 2007 at 11:07 PM EST
	big D did you see them with Big D and the Kids Table, Set Your Goals, and Anti-Flag? Yeah this song really is a lot different live it's great.

No Picture h4c\|< Average	#5 by h4c\|< ☺ at Sep 27, 2007 at 12:44 PM EST
	best song on album. fucking love it.

No Picture Gilbert Average	#6 by Gilbert Fontana at Sep 27, 2007 at 7:03 PM EST
	Really, an odd song... Meaning is pretty clear; Past traumatic experience carried through a mailbox or something. Brilliant vocals nonetheless.

No Picture GonnaKill Average	#7 by GonnaKill YOU at Sep 28, 2007 at 12:10 AM EST
	awesome song

No Picture Jack Average	#8 by Jack at Sep 28, 2007 at 1:49 AM EST
	We got this song off the cd!!!!

No Picture Ben Average	#9 by Ben Asay at Sep 28, 2007 at 9:12 AM EST
	another song that just kicks your ass on the record. George melts faces off and Dallas breaks new grounds with these lyrics.

No Picture Nicolas Rhythm Player	#10 by Nicolas Turgeon at Sep 28, 2007 at 4:52 PM EST
	saw alexisonfire last night with most of the people in the previous comment. this song was amazing live

No Picture BOOKER Average	#11 by BOOKER at Sep 29, 2007 at 3:52 PM EST

No Picture I SUCK!!!!! Average	#12 by I SUCK!!!!! No I Really Do!!!! at Sep 30, 2007 at 2:15 PM EST
	Amazing. Pure love.

No Picture Mat Average	#13 by Mat Hancock at Sep 30, 2007 at 7:30 PM EST
	brilliant song, my fave from the new album. i love the part where george screams 'mailbox arson...my sweet revenge!'. lush melodies too.

No Picture nick Average	#14 by nick allison at Sep 30, 2007 at 8:54 PM EST
	Reyynolds is right;; George stated in an interview that this song is merely about burning down mailboxes as a form of revenge.. theres nothing more to it. Its a great song, my favourite off the album (: 1

No Picture butters Average	#15 by butters at Oct 1, 2007 at 1:01 AM EST
	great song

No Picture metalis4ever Average	#16 by metalis4ever at Oct 1, 2007 at 11:24 AM EST
	i think i read an interview on this one.... pretty sure dallas said it was just about burning mailboxes guess it kinda sticks with the theme of the album and talk about a city (probably st kitts)

No Picture eric Wanna Be	#17 by eric tanguay at Oct 1, 2007 at 7:42 PM EST
	I dont know why. But this song reminds me of Walking Tall.

No Picture Kevin Average	#18 by Kevin Fournier at Oct 2, 2007 at 4:58 AM EST
	I love this song.

No Picture Phillip Average	#19 by Phillip Nguyen at Oct 2, 2007 at 7:33 PM EST
	alexisonfire have matured so well, the new album is incredible

No Picture matt Wanna Be	#20 by matt fogg at Oct 4, 2007 at 2:48 AM EST
	awesome chorus especially. A+ album

No Picture Kc Rhythm Player	#21 by Kc Brady at Oct 4, 2007 at 8:07 PM EST
	i think its about how the memories of somwhere like your home town can drag you back to a particular place/time in your past........ and how you sometimes cant move on unless you break those bonds......

No Picture Mauro Wanna Be	#22 by Mauro Leon at Oct 5, 2007 at 11:17 AM EST
	where did you get this song??

No Picture **A Grand Scene Average	#23 by A Grand Scene For a Color Film at Oct 5, 2007 at 8:47 PM EST
	alexisonfire have matured so well, the new album is incredible

No Picture James Average	#24 by James Newsome at Oct 5, 2007 at 11:53 PM EST
	post traumatic experience involving a mailbox? i surely hope that was a joke. i think this is about severing all ties with the town and the people that live there because they don't like what the town or the people who live in it has/have become.
