I wished the guitar parts had more creative solo sections or more playful interplay with the vocal line. Plus, I'm not so fond of the lead singer's voice.
I'm glad you checked 'em out, even though you didn't like them as much as you did All. I like both All and Jawbreaker, but, like bob said, they're pretty different musically. Jawbreaker's guitar begins to all sound the same after a while, even in their more poppy songs.

Also, I didn't like Blake's voice much at first either, but it grew on me after a couple of listens. The lyrics helped a lot, too, so I'm glad you liked some of them. (:
