    While Best Intentions doesn't reinvent the wheel, listeners will enjoy spending some more time with We Are the In Crowd.

    Granted, in the more ballady numbers such as 'All Or Nothing', things delve into slightly forgettable power-pop territory, but overall there is enough substance here to credit this as a decent debut effort.
