Shocking admission: I kind of liked that first single. Reminded me of Living Colour, of all things. I'll give the album a listen.
They've really stepped up their game on this one. Instead of two great singles and a bunch of passable filler, this one's got about five potential singles or more. Seriously, hooks galore. Also check out "Hum Hallelujah", "I'm Like A Lawyer With the Way I'm Always Trying To Get You Off", "Thanks For The Memories", "You're Chrashing, But You're No Wave". The cutesy titles are still in effect, obviously.
"This Ain't a Scene..." is a really solid track for its kitschy lyrics, alone. Musically, yeah, it is nothing overly groundbreaking, but for pop-punk, it is hard to top.
And the album on a whole isn't as attrocious as I initially thought. There are definitely some really great tracks on there that, if released as singles, would do really well.
Andyroo, I'm totally nabbing them b-sides off of you later on when I gets in from work.
