How people went from looking very clean and classy to looking like trash and relying on "swag" to get them through life. The song was written by Dan and Kaolin. The song starts off with a weird wobble sound and then goes into an electronic sound with a drum machine in the back. The track is more of a hard style electronic rock song then anything Lyrics What is wrong with? The kids today? Its like they only care about their looks Can we just go back To the time When we would actually care what we looked like I don't want to live with these kids I don't want to live with these kids But now its done and I see what is wrong Lets just go back To a simpler time When we would realize That we need to live a classy life X2 They want to know whats right When they are so wrong What do we do? When we used to look alright I don't want to live with these kids I don't want to live with these kids But now its done and I see what is wrong Lets just go back To a simpler time When we would realize That we need to live a classy life X2 SOUNDS LIKE 2 - The Back Booth(Pt. 2) The Back Booth(Pt. 2) is written as a sequel to the bands song "The Back Booth(A Drink and A Cigarette) from their album "Doesn't Mean Its Legal." The song is about a girl who has had a relationship with a man but leaves him to get with someone else. Even though she says she is over the first guy every time she is with the new man she can't get the first guy off of her mind. This is one of the more heavier/rock songs on the album and has hard jumpy guitar and drums throughout. The song was written by Matt Urie. Lyrics Who is this guy? What is his name? Is it true what they say That you wish, he was me Oh darling you know, I'm what you need You can hope and pray That when you're in bed with him That he'll be, all thats on your mind But oh no, we both know That it will be me Did you tell him? That its all a lie And in a matter of time You'll kiss him goodbye And throw him to the curb Just like every other guy You can hope and pray That when you're in bed with him That he'll be, all thats on your mind But oh no, we both know That it will be me SOUNDS LIKE 3 - Destruction Of The King This song was written about how people need something to fall back on and something to follow or they wont be able to operate. Its impractically written about how people need a religion or something to believe in. The song starts out with just drums and vocals and picks up with a popier chorus. The songs was written by Dan, and Matt Lyrics Its another time When we find oursleves Starring into the sky We're not alone There's more out there then we really know Do you actually think? That we are alone? We need to be smarter than this And realize He does not exist There's more out there then we really know We're not alone There's more out there then we really know Do you actually think? That we are alone? SOUNDS LIKE 4 - Where's The Reason? This song is a short little acoustic "diddy" inspired by 20's music. The song is about the biggest question, what is the meaning of life? The song is a simple ukulele and vocal song with trumpets and orchestral instruments supporting it the songs was written by Matt and Nick Lyrics When I wake in the morning I'll ask myself What do I need to do? I need to go find you and run down the street Will you all just come and sing with So we can figure out What the point to all this is We want to live and make it better then this But now we'll all figure out What the meaning to all this is I don't really care I'm going to play in the rain If you care about me Then I care about you So we can figure out What the point to all this is We want to live and make it better then this But now we'll all figure out What the meaning to all this is SOUNDS LIKE 5 - Evolution This song is used as a transfer track showing the change in style from the more rock/electronic and modern sound to more of a classical/orchestral style/sound like the bands first new single "Mark My Words." There aren't any vocals in the song but in the beginning it sounds like a radio broadcast saying that they've lost contact and the feed to continue on the cd/style of music Lyrics NONE SOUNDS LIKE PART 2 COMING SOON!

The song starts off with jazz piano and singing and then goes into a med tempo chorus slower then the previous tracks on the album. The track has a much different feel then the first half of the album and demonstrates the change in styles Lyrics I'm done here This is not the same I feel like I'm just in your way I'm so done here Somebody help me know If what I feel is real Or if its just a dream I have a gun to my head Will you be sad when I'm dead? This is just another Try to hold back the pain to cry I just can't deal with this everyday Would you be sad If I ran away? I'll leave it all if you're not in my way So done here I have a gun to my head Will you be sad when I'm dead? This is just another Try to hold back the pain to cry I just can't deal with this everyday Sounds Like 7 - Stay With Me Possibly the weirdest and most unique song on the album "Stay With Me" was written by Dan about his last girlfriend about four months prior to work beginning on the album. The songs lyrics are somewhat poppy and could be used on a modern day pop song but the song they used them for is like I said, possibly one of the strangest tracks ever created in the industry. The verses have a strange "erry" feel to with random noises happening in the background while the chorus is more "poppy" and catchy Lyrics I'm on top of the world When we're together I'm in the pits of hell When you're away All I need is for you to stay Here with me All night baby Stay with me Just for one more minute Stay with me And I'll know That we're just fine I've never felt this way before Its more than I will ever know This is just what I need When you're right next to me I want to make you my queen And you'll be the queen of everything Stay with me Just for one more minute Stay with me And I'll know That we're just fine Sounds Like 8 - The Hardest Part Of Waking Up Did we say that the last track was possibly the weirdest track on the album? Well we take that back. This track is probably the most odd, weird, track anyone will ever hear in their life. Not quite sure what the band was trying to accomplish with this track other then just experimenting with something completely new and odd. The song was written by Nick and Dan. One thing about this track is that it will give any normal sane person nightmares Lyrics Its hard enough to know you're gone And it's not enough to say goodbye Tell me if this feel right Because I can't fall asleep tonight The hardest part of waking up Is knowing you're not mine And I don't want to wake up If you're not by my side I've been pressing on for days And it all looks the same I can't wait forever On something you're not sure about The hardest part of waking up Is knowing you're not mine And I don't want to wake up If you're not by my side Sounds Like 9 - Mark My Words Mark My Words is known as the "return" track for the band and was the first single from the album. The song is about a man who is so in love with a girl that it causes him to lose his mind and go crazy. The song is also about loving someone so much that you don't think you can live without them. This song was written by all four members of the band. Lyrics I come quietly A silent entry For a haunting Can you even hear me? As I whisper “usually” If we’d die what would it mean? I’m coming for your soul Brace yourself for impact There is nothing to me And nothing left for me to lose I’ve felt humiliation All because of you Trust me I’ll come and get you Mark my words I deny your sympathy And never asked for your pity I’ve been looking for every sign of life But now it seems as though I’ve died There is nothing to me And nothing left for me to lose I’ve felt humiliation All because of you Trust me I’ll come and get you Mark my words Break me down into a small excuse for a man I can not speak This is what you thought This is what you tough me There is nothing to me And nothing left for me to lose I’ve felt humiliation All because of you Trust me I’ll come and get you Mark my words Sounds Like 10 - Expect The Unexpected The song begins with a slow acoustic guitar and then goes into a faster drum beat. It goes against the second half of the album's style but is definitely one of the albums strongest tracks. This song was written about former Suburban Sunrise singer Nicole Woods who passed away a little over a year ago in a tragic car crash. The world knew that her and Matt were best friends and in the song we hear the Matt feels as though it's his fault that she's gone and that he misses her. This song has probably the saddest lyrics on the full album. The lyrics were written by Matt. Lyrics I remember when I was just a kid Living life without a care in the world And now everything seems to change I've lost my friends my family I just want to go back Back to when I Could say I'm happy that we're all here And I promise to never leave your side I don't want to deal with this pain Day after day I miss you so much You were my best friend And you were gone just a blink of an eye I feel like its my fault I could have been there To stop all hell from breaking lose I'm happy that we're all here And I promise to never leave your side I don't want to deal with this pain Day after day But now I know That I loved you And that You loved me too I'm happy that we're all here And I promise to never leave your side I don't want to deal with this pain Day after day Sounds Like

This album marks the return of the band after a year and a half hiatus after the death of former vocalist Nicole Woods. The album is definitely something we would have expected from the band after their breakout album "Torn, Filthy, Love" in 2010. The album starts off with a song that we would have heard on the bands TFL album. The song features cello and some classical instruments like what we hear through the entire album. The first half of the album(tracks 1-5) has more of a rock feel but the song "Where's The Reason" shows a different style from the first 3 songs. The song is an acoustic track that is accompanied by trumpet and has a a 1940's feel. Track 5 "Evolution" is a full instrumental song that shows the transition from the modern feel of the first 4 songs to a more classical/experimental feel of the second half. The top tracks from the first half are "Formally Informal", and "Where's The Reason." The second half of the album is more of an experimental/rock feel and features more classical instruments such as violin, cello, accordion, piano and bells on several of the tracks. Some songs from the second half to take notice to are "Stay With Me", "The Hardest Part of Waking Up", and "Expect The Unexpected." One track that has sparked the interest of many is the song "The Hardest Part Of Waking Up." The song is one of the most unique things made by any band today and would give any normal human being nightmares. The second half also features the single from the album "Mark My Words." Another track to sit up and take notice of is "Expect The Unexpected." This track seems like it would fit in more with the first half of the album but is definitely one of the top tracks. The song is written about former SS singer Nicole Woods and is the one song from this album where you can hear the emotion behind the lyrics and vocals. Overall we give the album 8/10. It's definitely a good return for the band but we just wish that the first half of the album was as strong as the second half. Be sure to pick up the album on September 1st and check out our track ratings below! 1: Formally Informal - 7/10 2: The Back Booth(Pt. 2) - 6/10 3: Destruction Of The King - 8/10 4: Where's The Reason - 8/10 5: Evolution - 5/10 6: Guns - 7/10 7: Stay With Me -8/10 8: The Hardest Part Of Waking Up - 9/10 9: Mark My Words - 9/10 10: Expect The Unexpected -10/10 Overall: 8/10
