I still quite don't get all the hype behind this type of sound, but I guess it is somewhat enjoyable. Reminds me a lot of Dayseeker, but with a lot less focus on the electronic elements. Eiley is an amazing track, and a great closer, the rest of the tracks are okay but nothing too crazy.

I like this album a little bit more than their debut, even though it's "flaws" are mostly still present here too (bad production, repetitive songwriting and too similar songs). But I think the more darker sound fits the aggressive and emotional vocals a lot more (see: Eiley).
Favorite songs: Sympathy, Eiley (try not to cry challenge), Miss Your Face, What I Wish I Could Forget and The Art of Eye Contact.
