Having recently made the conversion from being a Title Fight hater to fan, this new album for me, really marks the establishment of the band at the top of the punk rock ladder. I find their earlier pop punky stuff to be quite irritating and grinding. Last album "Shed" really showcased a solid improvement with some killer tracks, but this latest effort has really hit the nail bang on the head. Having eased things up a touch, the atmospheric and moody slower numbers are what really make this album brilliant. While they have refined the pop punk approach of the quicker songs, I do feel this is no longer the appeal of the band. The quirky infectiousness of the vocal delivery mixed with catchy songwriting add up to create one of the best albums of 2013.
