50 Most Underrated Albums of the '2000s: #37

         37.A Loss for Words-No Sanctuary (2011)
No Sanctuary, the third full-length album from Massachusetts pop punk act A Loss for Words, is one of those records that just sucks you in right away. When I first discovered No Sanctuary in the summer of 2012, it was dominated my listening rotation for about 3-4 straight weeks. The whole record is so addictive and fun to listen to that I couldn't help but keep coming back to it. Even in a genre like pop punk that is known for the catchy nature of the material, A Loss for Words has a remarkable knack for memorable hooks and riffs. The soulful vocals of Matty Aresenault and guitarwork that doesn't shy away from taking cues from heavier types of music outside of pop punk gives A Loss for Words that unique flair that makes their music so damn infectious. No Sanctuary is sadly a hidden gem in the ever expanding sea of pop-punk revival records.
