Dynamic post-post-hardcore heavily laden with the prerequisite sing/scream novelty/gimmick that straddles the fence somewhere between The Get Up Kids, Saves the Day and maybe even Further Seems Forever. While I didn’t fall in love with this record after thirty dates...er, listens, I am very, very impressed with its personality. The musicianship is excellent and super tight. It sounds like the band has been playing these songs for twenty years. The production is also top notch. The best song is “Head Over Heels,” a Tears For Fears cover. If the band incorporates some killer hooks like those found in their choice of cover song, they might just make one of the best records ever.
Ratings – Doug Van Pelt 3/5, Chris Francz 3/5
