The sophomore album from Off Road Minivan, led by Fit For A King frontman Ryan O?Leary continues to show promise for a heavy combination of post-hardcore, pop punk, and alternative rock. However much of this album sits in the constant shadow of many of the big-time alternative rock and post-hardcore bands of the 2000s. Ryan has always been a really solid vocalist and brings a lot of energy, but I am never sure if this secondary band of his will ever achieve much since they have a hard time sounding unique. Still, the energy and ideas are present and it's an above-average listening experience if you want to give it a try.
