While I can appreciate Caleb Hyles' passionate, theatrical vocal tracks that sing of emotionally charged, uplifting topics he attempts to tackle with his debut album, it's quite clear that he has a lot of work to do as a songwriter. So many tracks on this LP sadly reek of royalty free instrumentation, safe pop synths, overdone tropes, and commercialized spins. There's not much to offer here that hasn't either been done before better, or is sickeningly tiresome at this point. Awkward genre shifts don't necessarily help its case much either, as we go from pop, to incredibly weak rock tracks, to theatrical-esque musical type tracks. Nothing feels coherent, and in the worst way possible. It's a rough listening experience that I could barely sit through, offering almost nothing anywhere. Caleb stated he was tired of doing covers and wanted to make his own music--all I can do is hope that whatever he writes next is much, much better than this.
