Authority Zero's reggae influence is still alive on Andiamo, and the songs which feature it are the record's most successful ("Retreat!," "A Thousand Years of War," "Solitude," "PCH-82"). The pop-punk stuff is pretty generic, with Jason DeVore's voice being the only point of interest (and he's too frequently reciting cliche lyrics)-- in a bad move, Andiamo stacks five of these bland tunes at the start. The record suffers as a result. The good stuff is good, though, and the interludes/hidden track are fun.
