The music is a lot better than what Dirty Work, but it really feels like Alex Gaskarth really has nothing, and I mean NOTHING to offer lyrically.

"NOTHING"? honestly? its pricks like you that make me hate this site sometimes. honestly listen to every lyric on every song off this record and come back with a more thought-provoking and logical answer next time.

and no desire to progress? tell me more about how much you know about music!

its actually good

You're getting to listen their album before it comes out for free. Who gives a shit where its uploaded.

Can't get into this. Guess I grew out of them

can I just reiterate that Rian Dawson absolutely murdered this album?

yes you can....because I agree.

Really everybody did. Guitars are so much more intricate, Alex's voice has never sounded so refined and his writing has never been better. Production is absolutely perfect.

I was nervous about them using Mike Green again, but he was the perfect choice and he really pushed them to a new level.

After listening to The Story So Far, Set Your Goals, and Four Year Strong for so long, this kind of light pop-punk just doesn't do it for me.

If you did indeed stop on that song I suggest you try to give the rest of the album a listen. If youre more into the rock stuff and not pop rock, at least give "Live And Let Go" and "Paint You Wings" a listen.

This.
Everyone really stepped their game up to make this album and it shows.

I don't think most sites are begging for ad clicks, but most sites do need ad impressions to stay afloat.

I'm about 27 minutes in, and I'm really impressed with the lack of album filler. All of these songs have great hooks so far

Maybe it's just me, but this feels way more mature than anything else they've released. None of their other albums come close to this IMO.
