The All-American Rejects with dreamier sound and more guitars. The hooks and melodies are always on point be it from the vocal or guitar harmony.
The upbeat songs are really catchy and great. At first, the slower ones felt a bit lacking to me, probably because they are too much 90s/2000s conventional. After a couple of listens, I eventually enjoyed them as well.
This album hasn't really demanded a ton of repeat listens for me but on listening today it did hit me that the opening two tracks really do kick things off very nicely. Good but vague 90s vibes, would put on when some fellow millennials came over or something... just a little too slick to actually catch my attention most of the time.
