"After bursting onto the scene in 2005, The Afters' follow-up is a smart, layered success. Song topics include a desire to move forward in our relationship with God ("Never Going Back to OK"), finding Christ ("Falling Into Place"), and making the most of every day ("One Moment Away"). I'm likely one of the few people who doesn't like the hit song "Myspace Girl" -- it doesn't fit the album. But the rest is well worth checking out."

Every song is flawlessly crafted

"The Afters' style isn't unique, but their execution of it is perfect. There's not a single song on this album that I don't enjoy. The faster songs are all catchy, the slower songs all beautiful. I can wholeheartedly recommend buying this album in full.



My favorite songs:

Tonight - catchy rhythm

Ocean Wide - very pleasing melody (though this is the sort of song I could see getting overplayed...)

Myspace Girl - cute and funny, and even better because it's based on a true story of their former bass player

We Are the Sound - this is the first song I heard by them, and it immediately intrigued me--I love the changing time signature



My only complaint would be that some of the slower songs' melodies sound similar, but I suppose that's a complaint that holds for a lot of the music played on the radio (and these songs are definitely radio-playable).



Overall, great album that you can listen to in its entirety without skipping any tracks! :)"
