I bought this record when I was 12 years old and still jam it out to this day. So many thoughts and emotions occur when listening to this.. and I can't say many albums do that for me. The nostalgic feeling is what makes me deem it as a classic.

Great mix between all their side projects and old blink. Wish it was originally 14 songs and would release a deluxe edition sometime in the future so there would be more songs. Not sure if it was worth all the years to wait for, but it’s a pretty good comeback album.

I listened to this record a lot when I was young. But listening to it now, I am more aware of the
disappointments it offers. I can't sit down and listen through to the whole album. Jonny's voice gets too
repetitive and doesn't exactly fit well in certain parts in some songs, like the review says. As for the
instrumentals, they're pretty good, but that's all I have to say about that. Overall, I think this record would've
been better if they found a different singer with unique vocals and better lyric-writing.

This is decent for a regular rock record, but really not so good for a FYS record. Glad they're going in the direction they wanted to go. It's only a matter of time before I hear one of these songs on the radio.
