Before I get into the review, thank you @smallpeeble for the reccomendation and for giving a few more suggestions that I'm going to listen to and review.
Now, I should be honest. Emo and pop punk are genres that I tend to not enjoy so much. Maybe it's just because I haven't really gone into the genre. It's like when middle class 50 year olds call rap rubbish, even though they're only listening to the mainstream stuff that's getting played everywhere, which is like 5%, possibly less, of the ... read more

This is really a classic within the genre, with soaring choruses and tounge-in-cheek lyrics and vocals with lots of heart. However, at times it can come across as overly dramatic like in great romances of the 20th century but overall a really solid and fun album. One of my personal favorites.
