    Favorite Tracks - Save me a Spark, Better Off Dead, Heroine, Kick Me, We Like it Loud, November, Left Alone and Don't Say Anything Least Favorites - The Strays and Fly OK so I personally really enjoyed this album especially with the fact that the band kinda debuted a new kinda pop sound of this album and I also just wanna quickly mention that last 7 of the 13 Tracks on the album I thoughtFavorite Tracks - Save me a Spark, Better Off Dead, Heroine, Kick Me, We Like it Loud, November, Left Alone and Don't Say Anything Least Favorites - The Strays and Fly OK so I personally really enjoyed this album especially with the fact that the band kinda debuted a new kinda pop sound of this album and I also just wanna quickly mention that last 7 of the 13 Tracks on the album I thought were all fantastic. Now this definitely isn't Sleeping with Sirens' best album but it was really amazing transition of their nowadays pop sound and I also appreciate the 2 Amazing harder rock we got on here which were the opening track Kick Me and the other one was the track We Like It Loud. Anyway most of this Album I really enjoyed expect for the tracks The Strays which sounded like the band was super trying to go pop and with the expection of the chorus that whole track sucked. The other track I disliked was the track "Fly" and all I gotta say about that is that if you wanna hear amazing songs on this album that don't listen to that one cause its so assThis album was a amazing mix of the band's past hard rock and pop punk sound and their newly debuted pop sound and I think Overall it's a Decent 7 out of 10 imo.

  1. There are far less cringe-worthy lyrics, and a sound that seems far more natural for the band as a whole.

    Madness is their most consistent and well-crafted set list to date, and while it may move them further toward the pop end of the hardcore spectrum, it does little to dampen their combustible core.

    This is the record that brands SWS as a very big deal indeed. [7 Mar 2015, p.52]
