While it's not a real meld of genres and the synth plays an extremely basic role it does have a lot of experimentation in various other areas which curiously comes out to something completely average but in an interesting way. The energy of the album powers it through its bad moments but it never really transcends it. Doubt they'll ever be a great band but they'll probably never be a boring one either.

The vast majority of the songs feel like the band has taken a serviceable musical element, be it a decent riff, some gang vocals, maybe a bit of screaming possibly chuck in a memorable chorus line or two and then chucked it into some kind of song machine which then turned out a song. Even the guitar solos are pretty interchangeable. These songs don't have their own atmospheres because they're built with the same elements and structures and though each one makes for a perfectly alright single track an entire album worth gets stale. A couple of songs (Everyday Combat, A Town Called Hypocrisy) benefit from conscious efforts to create a certain sound a little outside the norm but as for the rest, there's not a bad song on here (in fact there's not even a single bad moment, though occasionally the vocals dive into straight out nasal whine) but there's not a great one either. This problem was present on Start Something but to a lesser degree as the songs sounded fresher and heavier. Next time guys, please pay attention to what you're doing.New Found Glory CatalystNorthstar Is This Thing Loaded?Small Brown Bike The River BedThe Faint Danse MacabreThe Killers Sam's TownThursday War All the TimeYellowcard Paper Walls2.0 poorTrophy Scars Alphabet Alphabets
