Album Rating: 3.5

"Again, the amount if name drops in this review is insufferable. "



your comment is insufferable. the whole point of the review is that it's a reflection on the genre (and this album's place within it). "name-dropping' adds evidence to his point and gives some concrete benchmark which can bound his abstract ideas.



hating on this is like hating on a sneeze, if you're gonna pick something to complain about you might as well choose the cause and not the symptom

I understand that. It certainly does enhance his position and gives the album a valuable point of reference, but it seems inflated. But did he really need all of them there? I've read too many pop punk reviews contemplating the staleness of the genre, its capacity to develop and "grow up", or debating whether or not that stuff even matters - most of which "name-drop" the very same bands here.



I won't complain about the cause, because I already pos'd as I think the review is finely written.

On the subject of pop-punk, does anyone remember "Make a Sound" by Autopilot Off? Showed up on shuffle on my iPod the other day, I think it might be my favourite of the "emo" pop-punk of the early 2000s.

Idk if I'm reaching but Passing Through A Screen Door reminds me a LOT of Frank Turner.

Now that you mention it, it does a little. That whole "I'm grown up and I'm still a punk musician" (Frank doesn't play punk but you know what I mean) is definitely shared between them.
