They were ringing some very distant emo\/alternative bells for me, but I couldn&#8217;t necessarily associate them with a song or album off the top of my head. I did some research to try and see where I might have heard them before, but nothing was really standing out to me either. So, my expectations going into this album was that it was going to be an alternative\/pop punk type album, but that was a really weak assumption at that.<\/p>\n<p>But oh, was I wrong.<\/p>\n<p>This album was way softer and slower than I anticipated it being.\u00a0 But, that being said it was a really good album. The sound for this album in general was a really chill pop\/alternative sound that was very reminiscent of All Time Low. Overall it was a style of music that I liked, but not something that I would actively search out to listen to. This would be an album that I might listen to while studying or if I wanted some background music to not really pay attention to. I&#8217;m not saying this as a bad thing, I&#8217;m just being honest.<\/p>\n<p>The songs that really stood out to me on this album are: &#8220;We Fight&#8221;, &#8220;Catch You&#8221;, and &#8220;Heart Beat Here&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The one complaint I have about the album is &#8220;Open My Eyes&#8221;. The song itself was pretty ok, but I just couldn&#8217;t get over how he pronounced the word &#8216;eyes&#8217;. It was just too whiny sounding to me and just overall not the correct way to pronounce a vowel.<\/p>\n<p>Overall I think that it is a pretty good album, but I don&#8217;t think that it will do very well commercially. It has a solid sound, but there&#8217;s not really a radio hit anywhere on the album. But, i do think that it is worth a listen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey everyone!
