The Papercut Chronicles Reviews:
Gym Class Heroes' best CD ever! Hands down! 
2009-03-30 - This is by far the bands best album. Their two newest albums have definitely lost their hip hop feel, and were real disappointments to me. But I will never stop loving this album!!!
Not bad. 
2007-12-23 - It may not be the best hip-hop act that's rising, but GCH has a certain flare to them. Not the most intelligent lyrics, but good playfully fun lyrics. Props. Recommended brah.
Gym Class Heroes worth the money
2007-08-18 - I'm not going to start by saying this album was refreshing, but do have to say it was very good or close to excellent. All in all this is a ablum has a unique sound to it and i could see myself listening to 4 or 5 years down the line.
Surprised it is not labeled: Explicit 
2007-06-04 - I had never heard of Gym Class Heroes until "Cupid's Chokehold" came out. I heard it on the radio while driving with my young son. We both loved the song, so I decided to check out this CD. I made sure it didn't have the Explicit Lyric label before purchasing. For some reason, I decided to listen while my son was not present to make sure it was alright for him to listen to. The entire CD is full of Explicit lyrics. The "F" word is used over and over again. I have no idea how this slipped through the cracks, but this is Absolutely not a clean CD by any means. I was very disappointed with my purchase.
Solid Indie Hip-hop Album.
2007-05-18 - I started listening to Gym Class Heroes a few years back, in mid 2005 I believe, and absolutely fell in love. I am a diehard hip-hop head at heart, loving emcees like Rakim, Eminem, Saul Williams, The Roots and the like...So the fact that this kid was saying some of the best, most original lines I've ever heard in my entire life amazed me. One of the greatest hip-hop lines I have ever heard is still "Catch me in the source with 5 pills next to my name; like f*ck 5 mics I want 5 vic fame".
On top of this, I am also a diehard indie fan...So finding this band, a deffinate mix of both genres blew my mind. I listened to it non stop, saw every show that came within 120 miles of my home town and became obsessed.
Then of course they blew up. Cupids Chokehold came out, and every pop kid under the sun fell in love...I had to hate them, for at least a while. Typically when this happens with a band, I lose all interest and never listen to htem again. I expected the same of GCH.
But it didn't happen. Despite the fact you can't say your a fan without getting laughed at, I cannot help it. Any hip-hop fan that talks (S word I can't say) would be shut up in a half a second if they heard a song like Pillmatic or Shoot Down The Stars, and any emo/indie fan wouldn't be able to say another word after hearing 7 weeks or even Papercuts.
If you are a music fan, you have to give these guys a listen. They are one of the best genre bending bands I have ever heard, and I believe have the ability to keep coming for a good 5 years.
