(Otherwise, we’d hear Journey, right?)</p> <div id="attachment_7085" style="width: 410px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a rel="attachment wp-att-7085" href="http://punkworldviews.com/punk-goes-pop-iii-album-review/missmayi/"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-7085" class="size-full wp-image-7085 " src="http://punkworldviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Miss+May+I.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="507" srcset="https://punkworldviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Miss+May+I.jpg 500w, https://punkworldviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Miss+May+I-473x600.jpg 473w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></a></p> <p id="caption-attachment-7085" class="wp-caption-text">Miss May I</p> </div> <p>I am NOT a fan of the first track, <strong>Breathe Carolina</strong>‘s cover of <em>Down</em> by Jay Sean. Just seems kind of bland to me, but it could also be because I’m not a huge fan of that band to begin with.  The Lady Gaga cover by <strong>Artist Vs. Poet </strong>isn’t a top choice either, simply because they didn’t really make it their own.</p> <p>All in all, the album is definitely interesting.  If you’re a fan of Fearless Records’ type of bands, I’d definitely check them out.  Getting to hear them in a new light is cool and you get to hear some different sounding vocals from most of the bands, so it’s worth checking out.  It’s available today so get off the computer and go get one!!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>To learn more about Pop Goes Punk 3 or other varieties, check out:</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://fearlessrecords.com/viewband.php?band_id=20&rel_id=102"><strong>Fearless Records</strong></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.alterthepress.com/2010/08/punk-goes-pop-3-track-listing-revealed.html"><strong>Alter The Press</strong></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;">***</p> <p>The post <a href="https://punkworldviews.com/punk-goes-pop-iii-album-review/">Punk Goes Pop III *album review*</a> appeared first on <a href="https://punkworldviews.com">PunkWorldViews.com | Punk/Metal/Hardcore Coverage</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> </channel> </rss>
