Prag | November 6th 11

God, I like Fairweather Fan. I don't know why. I was optimistic at first, with Stuck in the Middle and even Just Drive coming out, but the whole album just killed it. It's just so...boring. Both Rise and Enemy wanted me to mosh in my seat, at school, at my computer, on the bus. This puts me to sleep. I don't care for like half the songs, and the one's I do care about are just mediocre FYS. Set Your Goals, now this. It's the year of disappointing pop-punk fans. Except Surburbia. That was awesome.

CutMan | December 28th 11

This album is definitely being underrated by fans who feel jilted, displeased by the change in style and unable to cope with the concept that this is really good stuff despite of it. But don't let them fool you, just enter with an open mind. The Foo Fighters comparisons are overstated, but also seem a strange criticism to begin with considering how good Foo Fighters are... Thing is, if you like the kind of rock mentality more common among bands like the Foo Fighters, it WOULD make sense to enjoy this album. I certainly do.

No one wants another generic radio rock band, which is what Four Year Strong seems to be going for here."don't fix it if it hasn't broken yet..." Bump

3.5 great	NateT \| November 9th 11
A raucous crowd-pleaser that might alienate older fans Bump

3.0 good	TheBloodTypo \| November 9th 11
It's good, but not Four Year Strong good. The whole album feels like it's building into something that just never happens. Bump

raggedragamuffin | November 9th 11

I can only hope I change my mind about this album, that more listens will make it sound catchier, head-bobbier, funner, and less like everything else I've ever heard before from pop-punk. They may be writing better songs overall than on Rise or Die Trying, but damn if those songs weren't a thousand times catchier than these even with all those simple riffs. Enemy of the World struck a great balance between the catchiness of RoDT and adding in a little bit more musicianship. In Some Way, Shape, or Form, they just couldn't do it again on this album.

Bump

3.0 good	IAmKickass \| November 8th 11
As much as a radio-rock album this presents itself to be, and whether or not this is the definitive direction Four Year Strong has been venturing towards, it's a damn catchy album. It's stripped down and not everything here delivers those hooks you'd expect, but it's not a hard album too get into really and I can see it as a sure grower as time goes on. Bump

2.0 poor	downxbeat \| November 7th 11
This is decent for a regular rock record, but really not so good for a FYS record. Glad they're going in the direction they wanted to go. It's only a matter of time before I hear one of these songs on the radio. Bump
