Glad that i did pick this up it was another one of those recommended to me CDs by amazon. It has a good opening with "Attention" and it was holding my attention for the whole cd. I didnt even have to skip ahead to something else because the last song was just crap. It goes and flows from song to song without the miss of a beat. I look forward to what The Academy Is has to offer with their next cd. Which i do plan to purchase in the future without a doubt. Almost Here yeah i think with this one they are right on with the title. The Academy Is well on its way and it will only get better with each new cd released by them. Thumbs up!!

Well what do you know? Another band on Fueled By Ramen records that sounds like Fall Out Boy. I gave this album a listen and wanted to like it, but couldn't. First off, the lead vocals are really annoying and nasally. Secondly, I'm not a fan of Fall Out Boy, so that made me hate it even more. If you want to listen to a sub-par band that sounds like Fall Out Boy but with very annoying vocals, then The Academy Is.....for you!

The great rising band The Academy Is has a impressive album out called "Almost Here".This spectactuler breakthrough band has many wonderful songs and I have to say they are all splendid and exceptional. I recommend this band for everyone, especially if you're into alternative and up-beat music. This music is great for blasting in front of friends and family. I have to say this is a great band with many fun songs. This album is sure to be treasured by all. Can't go wrong here, no siree!

as others mentioned, if you like fall out boy or panic! at the disco, you most likely will like the academy is...probably just because they're all fueled by ramen bands; they all pretty much go hand-in-hand.
but as for the CD, I think it's amazing. I honestly could listen to the whole thing and not skip one song (that's saying a lot coming from me).
and also, the lyrics are suprisingly good, in my opinion. they're clear and easy to comprehend and that's what I like.
I don't know, just something about this band is unique to me and there's something I just love. I'm never ashamed to admit how much I love them and I think they deserve every ounce of credit they get.

hopefully, I'll be able to see them on tour with fall out boy (genius tour...I was hoping so much that they'd open for FOB...two of my absolute favorite bands) if the tickets don't sell out within seconds of going on sale. I'd really love to see what their live performance is like.

all in all, definitely a great CD.

I got this CD for Christmas, and I found it to be one of the best CDs I have ever owned. Sure, everyone says' "This CD is awesome." Well, this is CD is truly great. If you like bands like Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco, then you will definately like The Academy Is... I found them highly addictive, William Beckett's voice is spectacular. I would seriously tell anyone who needs a little light rock in their lives to buy this CD. It truly is great.
