    The album features some great vocals from Alex if not his best yet. Actually, you can feel the whole band is doing their best on this album. There's a few straight up punk songs, whilst also having a few slow pop ballads on that same exact album. This album is melodic, refreshing, and most of all, entertaining. It is all it's cracked up to be.

    Songs like Somewhere in Neverland, If these Sheets were the States and Backstreet Serenade are enough for me to say, that this album is one of the best alternatives in the last years. The are songs don't stand out, but they are also good, so 9/10 is a earned rating.

    Brilliant record from an amazing band. This album goes above and beyond their previous ones and that's saying a lot considering every record they've put out is extremely well done. Mind you, this review is coming from a Green Day/Sum 41 fan!

    This album ties for the best album ever with Simple Plans third record. Nearly every song on this record makes the listener drown in the music. My favorite FAVORITE song on this record is "The Irony of Choking on a Lifesaver". This band is tied with Simple Plan for the best band ever. I would really love to meet the guys as much as listening to their actually good music goes.

    Great album overall.

    Lyrics: 8 Some creative, fun lines that fit perfectly with the melodies and some lyrics I relate to, but still, kinda generic. Pop punk needs to start talking about other stuff.
    Melodies: 9 Overall catchy, but sometimes just boring and generic like in "Canals" or "To Live And Let Go"
    Production: 10 Great, great quality. Equalized and mixed perfectly.

    I haven't heard much of ATL's discography yet but this is a great album and has some really catchy tunes. Highlights for me would be Backseat Serenade, The Reckless and the Brave, So Long Soldier and Thanks to You, but every song is pretty damn solid. I'd highly recommend to give this a listen

    For me: All Time Low at their best. It's my favourite All Time Low album.
    They really nailed it with songs like "backseat serenade" and "if these sheets were the states".

    1 of my top 5 all time favorites. No skips. Love it. Underrated band. They don't even have all of their albums on here. 4/9 to be exact.

    While For Baltimore proves they can still write a grade A banger when they put their mind to it, too many songs are destined to have "must try harder" stamped on their report card. [13 Oct 2012, p.52]

    All Time Low swallowed their pride, rededicated themselves, and ended up making the best record yet in a very consistently satisfying career.

    From a purely musical standpoint, there's no question that this is All Time Low's best work to date.
