Advantages: Brilliant vocals, incredibly catchy choruses.

Disadvantages: A few filler tracks.

'Take Off Your Colours' is the debut album from the Surry based pop-punk band that is You Me At Six. The album was released through Slam Dunk Records in October 2008, and consists of a total of thirteen tracks.

'The Truth Is A Terrible Thing' is the first track here and kicks things off well, and included on this album are a number of hugely impressive tracks. There are many catchy choruses to sing along to, and if you're a fan of upbeat pop-punk music then you really can't go wrong with this fine album from You Me At Six.

Highlights for me include 'Gossip', 'Save It For The Bedroom' 'You've Made Your Bed (So Sleep In It)', and 'If I Were In Your Shoes'; there are very few tracks that don't impress here in fact, and many of these tracks could easily be released as single's.

'Gossip' is probably my very favourite track from the album, and right from the thumping drumbeat in the opening you just know that this is going to be something truly special. The guitar sound is supreme, the vocals incredibly well sung out, and the chorus is just so catchy. 'Gossip' is fantastic track to sing along to, and once you've heard the track once you'll definitely find it very hard to get it out of your head.

'Save It For The Bedroom', 'You've Made Your Bed (So Sleep In It)', and 'If I Were In Your Shoes' all have excellent choruses, and the vocals of lead singer Josh Franceschi are consistently brilliant all throughout the album. Josh Franceschi really does have an amazing singing voice, and his incredible vocal performance is definitely key to the success of the 'Take Off Your Colours' album.

There are a few tracks here that feel a little flat, most of the time the music does much to impress however, providing for a hugely enjoyable overall listening experience. The album isn't perfect, there are a lot of excellent tracks on display here though, and as a huge fan of pop-punk I really do enjoy listening to the 'Take Off Your Colours' album.

If you enjoy listening to pop-punk music and don't already own You Me At Six's 'Take Off Your Colours' album then you should definitely see about investing in it.

'Take Off Your Colours' can currently be found at Amazon.co.uk at a price of £5.98.

Summary: A very catchy album of pop punk fun.
