"Sometimes when introducing an album I have strong feelings about, it’s best to provide a little cushion. This is best achieved by labeling said album as “a grower...”"

Redundancy, this could be fixed by something like "This cushion is provided by labeling said album as..."

"The sound, reminiscent of the catchy melodies perfected by the likes of The Gaslight Anthem and The Lawrence Arms"

You have this^ sentence in the introductory paragraph and immediately follow it up with this sentence in the second:

"It’s going to bring back strong memories of The Gaslight Anthem, The Lawrence Arms, and some Against Me!"

Again, redundancy. I understand this was probably an oversight, as it never existed with your initial intro, but it has become awkward since your revision.

You continue to adore the use of superlatives when describing things, but that's more personal preference than error. Though it can add clutter to certain sentences like "as Chamberlain Waits proves itself to be a surprisingly complete, incredibly enjoyable experience throughout."

The other things I noticed are along the lines of what MJ was commenting on. Somewhat trivial, nitpicking items. The only one I will point out being:

"Never stopping for a respite..."

Respite is in and of itself a break from something. There is no need to place the indefinite article a in front of it.

I understand I made a bigger deal out of the above-listed shit than what should have been made, but they were items of attention in need of comment.

thanks! a bit nit-picky? yes. necessary and helpful changes? definitely. thanks... for future notice it'd be nice if you just list those first, rather than saying "this is bad" "this is worse" "i see so many mistakes that I'm not gonna tell you" haha... I'm well-aware that this isn't my best review, and as long as it's grounded and you're somewhat kind about it, I really appreciate the criticisms.

Even better than "Lessons in the Abuse of Information Technology." I love it.... even if that is the coolest album title evar.
