How many TSSF albums does it take before the exact same sound gets stale? Looks like the answer is 3.

Remember those last two records that this band put out? Yeah, this sounds exactly like them; vaguely more focused but the pacing of the album isn't as dead on. It gets to the point where it's really hard to tell these songs apart (not only from each other but from the rest of the band's discography). But oddly, none of that really detracts from the listening experience. It's still addicting as ever.

TSSF apply the "if it ain't broken don't fix it" mentality to their new album with regard to their song writing process and i'm so grateful for that. Every track is catchy as f

The Story So Far by The Story So Far is a hard-hitting, thrasing, relentless cascade of emotional tones -- aggressions and lamentations -- that cast the listener into deep states of furore, swept up in their magnetic, torrential storm of musical currents. The tracks are dense and stolid, walls of instrumentation, stampeding forward in differing time signatures, each conveying a heavy emotional landscape. However the dynamism and melodies are also apparent, as are the grooves that viscerally move the listener and take them both to salty highs and brooding, pessimistic, forlorn lows.
TSSF are good at cutting, icy, bitter displays of bile, resentment and remorse -- so satisfyingly delivered with style. Highlights include 'Mock', 'Solo', 'Nerve', which ring out with beautiful instrumentations and melodic lines -- and passionate, desperate, gutsy yet raspy vocals. This type of album defines an era of one's life, a time of sadness, revenge, hatred, love and anger. The album is an outlet for the singer's pent-up rage and fury. A portend for the listener's sadness and solemnity. A memory into lost periods of the reviewer's own life, where the songs' meanings were projected onto fantasy situations or built-up, long gone memories and 'almosts'. Revisited with fresher situations of hopelessness and lost love, obsession and craving. A bedmate, a day's break and a solace for one's hurt mental state. The unstoppable show of power and passion, in a dense package of swaying instrumentations and grooves continues to light the fire in young hearts.

Parker can't help but repeat the exact same vocal pattern 4-8 times in a row for every verse and every chorus, and every last word of each line has to rhyme perfectly with the next. Get's old after 2 songs, and this album has 10. Some decent songs here and there but just a sad when compared to the fun, energetic effort put into the previous two releases.

The Story So Far is another usual band that started to follow the same path as many others, from Pop-Punk to the contemporary Emo, and in my opinion, it worked out very well. The s/t is a great example of an ordinary record, but with delivery and emotion. You can feel in the voice and in the melodies that everything that was written is the result of emotional events from some member of the band.

Songs kinda run together. They're all in the same key and vocalist has a certain scale he like to stay in. He can sing but damn, change it up once and a while. Less punk, more pop than previous efforts. No guitar riffs worth mentioning. Every song is about girls and love. Nerve is my favorite. Good when a song comes up in a shuffle but kinda hard listening the album all the way through.

Overall a more mature outing for The Story So Far. The production lets the album down quite a bit though. The instruments feel muddier than ever, whereas the production on What You Don't See really made it stand out. "Heavy Gloom" is going to stay a jam though
