5つ星のうち4.0It doesn't exactly stand the test of time 8 years later, but some songs are still among my favorite of that era today

So I got this CD when I was 16. 8 years ago. Whoops, guess I wasn’t much for reviewing back in those days. I was combing through some of my Amazon purchases in an attempt to write reviews for what few products I’ve purchased over the years, just ‘cause… You know… I want to get that Vine status.
When I was younger, I loved this CD. The upbeat, catchy tunes, the whiney high-pitched voice, the guitar strums and the tap-your-toes drum beats. I was really into a lot of darker music, with a splash of pop (like All Time Low and Mayday Parade, but still Bright Eyes and Brand New). While I loved this CD then, I’m not sure if it’s translated well as my tastes have grown. The voice is a little too high pitched for my more refined ears (10 years of listening to music can change your tastes), the lyrics, a little immature.
Rather than the whole CD on rotation (and yes, there are a few bands I still listen to from 10 years ago), there are just a few tracks that I still love. Those being “Never Knew”, “Tell Me Something Good”, and “I Was So Alone”. That being said, as an album it’s a good one. And while I don’t still love and cherish every song, it got me through some angsty times in my life. It’s lyrical, his voice and range is great, and the entire album to full of catchy song, after catchy song. It seems like this sort of pop rock genre hit its full stride in the mid-to-late 2000s, but it could be poised for a re-emergence any time now. It still holds a nostalgic place in my heart, all things considered.
