    I'm really not that much of a fan of this genre. This is one of the few albums I enjoy, as I haven't found many like it worth listening to. But I enjoy almost every song equally on the album, each have a different feel to them and are fantastic in their own way. It's honestly hard to understand why someone wouldn't like it unless you have absolutely no interest in this style of music, butI'm really not that much of a fan of this genre.

    There will surely be those who really want to hate Pedals, and they won't have any difficulty finding justification for their scorn within the album's ten tracks. Nonetheless, it's a winning return, though perhaps not entirely worth the wait.

    Even with some of the more outstanding flaws, the album is worthy of a listen by both post-hardcore aficionados and fans of the group members' other bands.

    At this point Rival Schools sound like Nada Surf without the pop nous or OK Go without the videos. Perfectly listenable, perfectly agreeable, absolutely forgettable.
