I've written so many reviews of emo influenced melodic punk and tried hard to come up with different ways of describing 50 bands playing essentially the same thing, that when I think about it I cringe. Park is one of the few bands playing this style that stand out and keep me interested. I was a fan of their first release on Lobster, "No Signal," and when I heard this new release was out I was pleased. It's a fair continuation of where "No Signal" left off with the high tenor vocals that could be their signature and creative guitar melodies and leads. Personally I really like his vocal style, which stands above everything else going on in the song. The lyrical themes this time around cover suicide and broken romances. The songs are sharp and tight making this a catchy and impressive second album for Lobster's Park.
