I'm saying this cause its pretty clear that a lot of people like your review and I'm willing to bet you would appreciate a
little criticism.
This is a great piece of writing but, as someone who has never heard this album before, as a review it doesnt work.
If you swapped the only song title here for any other golden age emo songs ("Lucky Denver Mint", "In Circles", "Why Did
We Ever Meet", take your pick) this could have been uploaded to any of their respective albums and no one would have
noticed. This really doesn't give me any insight into what the album sounds like. I get its emotional and I'm sure as hell
not denying its importance to you but I don't come away from this with any particular desire to listen to it.
I applaud you for taking a risk with the formula and I wouldn't have commented if I didn't think you were a talented
writer but you can intertwine music and emotions pretty evenly without favoring one over the other.

Great review I enjoyed reading it a lot.
Never meant is easily my favorite song here though, it is just one of the best songs I have ever had the privilege of listening to.

@avon, some people see the album as a downward slope in quality after never meant, I guess you feel that way?

Similar ton your 4 for TM&A.
I said this on the last page:
My only problem with this is that it seems to stay at the same tempo the whole time. Its still a good (at times great) record but it can't seem to hold my attention for the full duration.
So yeah sorry demi bro.

I feel that the album is best listened to when you need some cheering up, but I remember the first time I listened to this I was psyched after never meant.

At one point during my first listen.. I began thinking that after The Summer Ends there would be some kind of hardcore extravaganza following it up. Foolish me.
