Billy Talent - Fallen Leaves

The colossal vortex left in the ocean of High School Rock after the demise of prolific hoody-sellers Blink 182 is still sucking in many pretenders to the throne, but Billy Talent seem to have something that sets them apart from the crowd. This is born out by album sales of over one million - the international public is clearly digging what Billy Talent does for Pop-Punk. On the strength of this single, however, there is room for improvement, as it doesn't stand up to their previous more imaginative tracks, lifted from current album Billy Talent II. [Jamie Borthwick]
