Advantages: The band in general are good

Disadvantages: this album however isnt

The first and third album from The Academy Is are both amazing album so it perplexed me as to what went wrong when producing and writing this album. It is extremely dissapointing, it may have one or two ok songs on it but in general it lacks what the other albums have which is upbeat songs and lyrics, this one in comparison seems moody and darker.

The Academy Is feature on the same label 'Fueled By Ramen' as other similar band such as Fall out Boy, Cute is What We aim for, Cobra Starship so this gives you an idea as to what type of music it is.

The lead singer William Beckett has amazing vocals that can be overlooked in this labum due to the quality or the lack of it in the songs.

The tracklist for the album is

1. Same Blood
2. LAX to O'Hare
3. We've Got A Big Mess On Our Hands
4. Sleeping With Giants
5. Everything We Had
6. Bulls In Brooklyn
7. Neighbors
8. Seed
9. Chop Chop
10. You Might Have Noticed
11. Unexpected Places

If I had to choose my favourite song it would be Neighbors, but the rest would probably fall into my least favourite category. This album is definately a dissapointment, the only positive would be the vocals and the energy, but dont be put off the band as the other two albums are fantastic

Summary: Give it a miss and listen to the other 2 albums instead
