Análisis (en inglés) - :
Implementing live instruments instead of looped samples or beats -- and helmed by the quick tongue of MC {$Travis McCoy} -- there's really no denying the enjoyable affair that is {$Gym Class Heroes}' {^As Cruel as School Children}. Launching with the booty-shaking {&"The Queen and I,"} {$the Heroes} prove straightaway that they've got enough confidence, catchy rhythms, and sense of melody amid all their tight grooves and {\emo} hipster instincts to keep things moving right along. Being a {\hip-hop} outfit largely residing in the world of {~the Warped Tour}, it somehow makes sense that {$Arrested Development}'s {$Speech} makes an appearance ({&"Biters Block"}) alongside guys like {$William Beckett} from {$The Academy Is...} ({&"7 Weeks"}) and {$Fall Out Boy}'s {$Patrick Stump} (on the eccentric {&"Clothes Off!"}). But while this combination of influences largely works to {$Gym Class Heroes}' musical advantage and overall appeal, there's still something that makes their music seem not quite like a novelty and more like a fleeting pleasure. How long can a song based on {/Myspace} relationships ({&"New Friend Request"}) really last before lines like "My man Tom introduced us but I was too shy to say hi" or "I never see my face in your Top 8" become more annoying than witty? And even if hitting topics like the life of a touring band and calling out fake, trendy music is relevant, by now it just seems more a cliché. The band's sincerity isn't in question and {$Gym Class Heroes} are a talented crew. But ultimately, it's this standard spring of inspiration that keeps {^As Cruel as School Children} from being much else than a perfect hangout record for summer 2006. [This version, released in the fall of 2006, additionally includes the hit single {&"Cupid's Chokehold/Breakfast in America."}] ~ Corey Apar, All Music Guide
