I really dig the sound on this. It's hard, heavy, and emotionally complex. I also respect the runtime of this album at just under half an hour.

I like this album for what it is, a brisk 30 minute pop punk album that's fun to listen to. They're not reinventing the wheel by any means, but after all, if it ain't broke don't fix it. I found lots of genuine thoughts and emotions throughout that helped wrap it all up nicely. Also I agree, fuck HyVee.
