Jesper got it exactly right when he used the word tiresome to describe this album. HA put
the emphasis on the parts of their sound I didn't like in LP1, and largely forewent (?) the
more esoteric, post, eerie aspects to go for exuberant emo rock grandeur. It's the kind of
record where I am sure every track is going to be some teenager's favorite song, but taken
all together they really fatigued me. 6 is the summum of mindless corny. The midtrack on 7
is a nice change, and 8 is finally kind of post rocky in its intro which offers some
respite. 9 is a simpler piano song, and proves that the band really work better when they
stop trying to be constantly grand - which they resume in the chorus, though the female
guest vox are a nice surprise. 10 gives us an interlude to relax, but 11 goes back to being
tiresome. It really feels like the vocalist is pushing it too far at times. 12 is a piano
ballad to finish which again is actually nice as respite. The band seem to have lumped all
of their restful moments at the end unfortunately. I am okay with a bit of epic grand corny,
heck I love it in some moments in The Contortionist' Intrisic, but this is just too much,
too corny, too all the time. 2.4

I indeed was an angsty teen lacking in maturity when I rated this a 2.5

On the sophomore record for the 5-piece post-hardcore band, they drop a lot of the thick atmosphere (although that shows up on this record) for more of a classic alternative rock rager. Big vocals, building instrumentals, memorable hooks, and grooves are all over this record. For how many times I have listened to this record the more I enjoy it, however, there is still the nagging feeling of, this could have more presence for a post-hardcore record. Still, as an alternative rock record, this is a really strong contender for one of the best in the last few years.

it's better than their debut even tho the interludes are extremely unnecessary and In Circles feels like a filler
