First time through, this album seemed like generic skate-punk or pop-punk. I couldnt really tell since I wasnt paying attention to the lyrics. As far as I can tell the only difference is that pop punk is generally white guys whining about girls not paying attention to them with fast guitar and the same few chords whereas skate punk sounds exactly the same but they sometimes venture into other topics. I kid, I kid Well kind of. The more I think about my favourite pop punk albums the more accurate this sounds. Either way Im actually a fan of both genres, largely thanks to the cultural touchstones named Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1-3. Between that and Guitar Hero, Activision has had way more influence on my musical tastes than I ever realized until this exact moment. Thanks Bobby. In all (some?) seriousness, the fact that this album isnt completely about girls makes me like it quite a bit more than I normally would. Musically this sounds like something Ive heard before. Even the lead singers voice sounds incredibly familiar but I just cant place it Matchbook Romance? 50 other bands from the genre in the early 2000s? I dont know. Its a good kind of familiar though, lends a feeling of nostalgia to something Im hearing for the first time. The inserted audio clips are something I found pretty cheesy at first, but Im liking them more each time I go through the album. Especially the Barry, why dont you play an A for Steve? one. Its hard to pick out favourite moments from this album because everything feels so fleeting. Nearly every song is under three minutes, but theyre all so incredibly tight that it somehow doesnt feel as though theyre cut short. The album is so cohesive that I never really find myself looking at the tracklist to see what is playing at any given moment, but on my lyric readthrough May 16 is a song that really caught my attention there arent nearly enough people singing about friendship. I like it. If the above paragraphs didnt tip you off, Im feeling a bit delirious right now. I think I need sleep. In closing, I dig it.
