Gym Class Heroes As Cruel As School Children LP (Silver Vinyl)

Celebrating 25 years of Fueled By Ramen, the label is releasing a special silver vinyl reissue of Gym Class Heroes' classic, gold-certified third album, originally released in 2006. Produced by Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump, it includes the songs "Cupid's Chokehold", "The Queen And I", "New Friend Request", "Shoot Down The Stars" and "Clothes Off!".

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!').
