Billy Talent delivers a rock-intensive and at times eclectic disc that highlights the group's inability to write songs that have depth or elements of surprise. True, "In The Fall" has a hook that's as catchy as a soccer anthem and the anti-scenester rant "The Red Flag" proves excitingly attitudinal and carries with it a spot on Clash-meets-Green Day vibe; "Falling Leaves" and "Perfect World" demonstrate the unit's knack for crafting ear-perking opening riffs. But each of those tunes--and virtually all those found on II (save the closing "Burn The Evidence")--run out of gas by the end of the first chorus which is consistently placed as close to the front of the track as possible. All that adds up to a highly infectious but equally formulaic record that could have been recorded by a thousand other punk-influenced bands.--Jedd BeaudoinAlbum Description
Billy Talent's new album Billy Talent II, is the Toronto-based band's first new music since the 2003 release of their breakthrough self-titled debut. Billy Talent II sees the band taking punk to new heights, amplifying the explosive energy and earnest lyricism that made their debut an international sensation. Powerful new songs like "Devil In A Midnight Mass," "Surrender" and "Red Flag" are alive with the band's personal blend of angular angst and irresistible popcraft, all given distinctive focus via singer Ben Kowalewicz' inventive, issues-oriented songwriting.Customer Reviews:

Billy Talent II, Excellent!.......2007-01-27
Billy Talents Rocks, Again!.......2007-01-26
Good Follow Up From The Toronto Quartet.......2007-01-12
While I do like this disc, I did find the songwriting somewhat formulaic - that doesn't make it bad, though. In fact, the group has capably built on the sound and success of their first disc. What will remain to be seen is if the quartet can come out with a third disc that will be fresh, yet still be faithful to their punk sound. The one thing they don't want to do is to fall into the Nickelback trap, and have everyone become sick of their material because it all sounds the same.
Way Good Punk Revitalization........2006-12-20
Must Hear
Red Flag
Sympathy

billy talent II.......2006-11-18
listening and it makes you feel as though there is life out there. Bravo!!
Sickk album.......2006-11-03
1. This Is How It Goes (11/10) Great start! I love this song! It's exciting and upbeat, and just flat out awesome. Lovethe guitar riff. The bridge isn't all that good though.
2. Living In The Shadows (7/10) Boring kinda. It's kinda repetive. Don't like it that much. I usually skip it.
3. Try Honestly (12/10) Everyone should like this song. Awesome. Chorus is just crazy.
4. Line And Sinker (8/10) Like it the first time you hear it. Then it just wears away. Fun to sing though.
5. Lies (10/10) Catchy. It's a fun and happy song.
6. The Ex (14/10) Love this song. It's my favorite Billy Talent song, and one of my favorite songs of all time. I just love the chorus alot, it's soo awesome. And the verses don't get any better. They could've made a better video though.
7. River Below (10/10) Popular song. Not too crazy about it though. It's great and catchy, and fun to sing. Just not too crazy about it.
8. Standing In The Rain (1337/10) LOLOLOLOL This is song is flatout funny! HAHAHAHA I don't even know why. lolz. It's fun to make fun of it, cuz the singing is horrible.
9. Cut The Curtains (6/10) Gets old really fast. It's boring and dull and annoying. Skip it.
10. Prisoners Of Today (11/10)Here's a good song. I like the beat, and the guitar. It's a good song, I thought it sould have been a single.
11. Nothing To Lose (13/10) Song about suicide. I think it's a really good song. Sad, and reflective.
12. Voices Of Violence (8.3/10) Don't really like this song too much. The chorus is weird. It's alright.
Overall, a great album if you skip the bad songs. I'd rate it 89/100. Good album. If you're thinking about buying Billy Talent II, get this first.
