Majestic Pop Punk

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Although the hooks are not quite as sharp on this album when compared to their previous effort, the all-time pop punk classic "Third Times a Charm," there is much to love about this disc. For starters, the production is outstanding, and the vocals have improved a bit, not that they were bad to begin with. This band has all the goods, and occasionally, like on the title track, they come up with engaging melodies that are ready to tear up the airwaves. As far as unsigned bands go, these guys are among the best of the bunch. The 30 second preview doesn't do these songs justice for the most part. The sound is tremendous and the band is more energetic than ever, and the album is solid from start to finish. The only thing missing is that one killer track with the one killer hook to put them in a class all by themselves. This band is not far from absolute domination and greatness."
