    Problems arise though when things get overly slow and sad, falling into the trap of alienating coldness. Boucher’s pain is evident for all to hear, but it’s rarely inviting.

    You’re Not As ___ As You Think feels like the conclusion to something that was never started in the first place, it hasn’t earned any of the things it takes without asking, it’s a shallow pretender desperately fumbling in the deep end, and it’s an unfortunate development for a band that used to write dumb, fun songs about girls.

It’s lyrics push forward a contemplation on life, death, and the purpose of it all. Though that might seem cliche, it is anything but. It is a dark and tragic masterpiece that gives off the feeling that every ounce of energy and pain was left in the recording studio but there is an overarching sense of hope portrayed throughout the melodies. I am absolutely in love with it. Tracks that stand out are “A Portrait Of”, “A Better Sun”, and “Second Letter from St. Julien” . Full Review »

Definitely a must listen for emo fans! Full Review »

    It's amazing how a band can go from indie/pop punk one minute and write a beautiful album full of self doubt and loss. Great way to start off the year
