The Audition definitely rebound from their last release, patching up what tended to be lacking from "Self-Titled Album", and mature in terms of lyrical and stylistic approach with this release in the process.
Maintaining their honed catchy pop punk styling, they incorporate a higher sense of awareness to their musicianship, to give you a hook vocally, and a riff or two just as memorable to match it.
This release might not change your opinion of them if you don't like them already, but this is easily their second best release behind 'Controversy Loves Company'.
My only real gripe about this album is Danny's Falsetto. He's done it plenty in the other album's, it's not bad in the slightest, but it just sticks out on here to me to not really find its place, or seems forced. He has a great voice without having to use a falsetto, and it sorta sours the power and catchy-ness his voice has.
Other than that, im happy with this.
