It's not groundbreaking like The Everglow, but it still has the piano/alternative rock vibe that made them so memorable to begin with; even with the less inspired lyrics.

Besides "Brink of Disaster," which could fit in with the best of tracks off Mae's previous sublime effort, The Everglow, there was nothing to redeem this album. Mediocre through and through, it paled in comparison to its predecessor and was an insult to all the potential I thought the band had displayed. And it sure didn't help that the best track was placed first, meaning it was all downhill from there. That song truly was the brink of disaster, at least as far as my opinion of Mae is concerned.

Before I begin, let me say that I love Mae's two previous albums. They are constantly in my CD player. But this isn't the Mae I know and love.
Change is good. But change for changes sake is a very bad thing. And it appears that Mae's label switch and decision to make a "harder" rock album were very bad changes indeed. Capitol records is the worst thing to happen to Mae yet.
The opening song, "Brink of Disaster", is what starts the disaster for me. It starts with a short drum fill and then a nasty, ear-grating synth sound that remains throughout the entire song. I just can't listen to it. And the sad part is, the album goes downhill from there.
That's not to say the album doesn't have a few listen-able songs. "Just let Go" is a very enjoyable song with light rhythm guitar throughout the song and prominent keys. "Crazy 8s" is also a highlight of the album. Overall, however, the album fails to live up to its rather high expectations. A disappointment from Mae.
