Amber Pacific returns from a monstrous hiatus to deliver "All In", an album that doesn't reinvent the wheel yet isn't insisting its doing so. Familiar listeners will anticipate bridges that will arrive on time, closings that stop on their mind's mark, and melodies paired with riffs borrowed from other acts. What makes it special is the combination with the positive lyrics which strangely feel refreshing in today's climate. 'Sink or Swim', 'Young & Reckless', 'Afloat', 'Meant to Be', and 'The Honest Truth' call listeners back to a time when they would rally to anthems like these, yet feels more like comfort food in the form of music. This is the stuff you drive down on warm nights with your windows down listening to, and if you get new listeners aboard who are tagging along, then the more the merrier.
