"You can listen to the entire album straight, not just a couple of good songs, but an entire album of great songs!"
This album keep me guessing!

"Nice rich poppier melodies and sophisticated lyrics that flow make for a well critically acclaimed album. They were an emo "secret" before they finally released their anticipated album with Existentialism on Prom Night. The Tension and the Terror should've been another hit as it's got a catchy melody throughout, open hard to say out lyrics like "awkward just start stalling conversation" and John Nolan makes these lyrics and others work well. Nolan made these songs based on his personal experiences mostly, and the issues dealt with include the very common theme of love, greed, and hurt.
The main qualm someone could have with this album is that some of the songs sound very similar and may be too slow, but a good ear and appreciation for pop music make this one a keeper!"
