"Well after about a six year hiatus Squirtgun is back, and in my opinion, better than ever. If you liked their first two albums, you'll love this one, it's what they've been doing but they seem to have brought in some new flavor. This is pure pop punk, and at times it gets a bit to "poppy" but that's just Squirtgun for you. However they do have some harder songs like "Make it Wreck". And some of their stuff sounds a bit on the emo (and I mean good emo) side like "Burn for you". "Please be Mine" sounds like it would be a Queers's song. I don't think this album is groundbreaking or anything but I don't think that Squritgun was trying to make anything more than just a really good pop punk album. I love that they have people from different bands like Anti-flag and The Ataris doing work on certain songs. All in all this is a really good cd, especially for fans of good pop punk. I would say this CD is going to be one of my five favorite albums of this year. So if you love Squirtgun, get this album. And if you're new to Squirtgun and you like bands like Screeching Weasel, The Queers, and The Riverdales, get this cd for sure!"
