There'll be plenty of emo kids disappointed by STD's move out of the emo ghetto with In Reverie. Don't let their posturing keep you from exploring a fantastic pop record.

-
The band's poppiest and most upbeat and musical record yet.

SpinOn the more stripped-down songs, though, Conley's keen intuition pokes through. [Jan 2004, p.102]

Alternative PressChris Conley's metaphorical lyrics remain earnest enough, but because of studio trickery, his vocals sound annoyingly nasal. [Oct 2003, p.120]
-
Entertainment WeeklyAn unexpectedly poppy collection of left-field melodies and twisty song structures that wrap around your brain like a head cold. [19 Sep 2003, p.86]
