| 4.0 excellent | STIGMATIZED | May 15th 22 |
aside from dodgy lyrics (im looking at you, Bedroom Talk), album is more mature/developed and looked like the band was going the right way

In the process of evolving their sound, The Starting Line lost the magic that made them so great on their first record. While not a bad record, many other pop punk bands at the time offered much better.

Pop-punk, as a whole, isn't exactly the kind of genre that breeds masterpieces. The closest it will ever get is From Under The Cork Tree. Oh, and this.
Based On A True Story is a diverse, witty, energetic and genuine body of work. Its genius lies in the fact the lyrics and concept of the overall album, the work of one Kenny Vasoli, is obviously very personal and introspective; and yet manages to be universal enough that it can connect with many...certainly when I first heard this album in 2005, it became the soundtrack to my life. So many years on, the album still has life and a connectivity to growing up in this day and age- and it nails it far greater than any other of their contemporaries.
