Follow up full length release to 2009 album Collapser also on the Fat Wreck label. Eleven new songs of catchy, well writen modern melodic punk rock music that really reminds me of Off With Their Heads or Dillinger Four at times. Like the last D4 record, this one has dropped off with the heavier gruff vocal, to produce a cleaner sound. While this sound is done really well, I tend to find the songs all kind of bleed together, lacking any real sort of distinction. Now I could be getting a little over the top in pickyness here, but the way the bass sits in the mix also bothers me too. This band are good and this record is good, just not really great.
