Drawing parallels to All-American Rejects, Acceptance, and even a hint of Abandoned Pools I just can't put my finger on, this album has a weird blend of pop-punk and rock. I found it really hard to pick favorite on this Album, because to be honest there are only two tracks that I don't like. I made my choices though, and I stick by them.]]> Boys Like Girls - Boys Like Girls.jpg

The whole CD has a slightly surreal feel to it, but that’s probably because of the slight Emo (yes I’m aware that current Emo is not real Emo) feel and lyrics that are spread throughout the songs. I’m not saying that they’re depressing, but many of the tracks tend to put me into more of a reflective mood then say, a slap-happy moshing mood. What I noticed from the first song, and what permeates the entire track listing is a solid feel to it all. Every song seems very refined and well put together.

Another interesting tidbit I will point out is that each song seems to have a slightly different feel. I’m aware that I just stated how there is an overlaying Emo-esque to it all, but each song seems to go about it in a slightly different fashion. It’s refreshing because it allows for a very diverse album without jumping all over the board. The downside to it is that either you will like a lot of the songs, or get annoyed with them fairly quickly. I am the former, but I’m not going to make judgment calls for you.

I’m glad to have it a part of my library, and can honestly say that I’ll probably end up listening to this one for a long, long time. Overall, it’s totally worth owning.

8/10
