Album Notes & Community Reviews

A landmark release in the 'defend pop punk' era, the band abandons their earlier synthesizer-heavy joke songs for earnest, highly specific lyricism. Dan Campbell's vocals tackle themes of post-collegiate anxiety, depression, and self-improvement against a backdrop of driving, energetic pop-punk.
