    [Their] just-edgy-enough indie punk has an endearing salty sweetness. [6 Apr 2007, p.77]
  2. An enjoyable next step for the Academy Is..., this album shows that the guys are still growing, but maybe just starting to figure themselves out.

    It all works... simultaneously calling to mind Fall Out Boy and Franz Ferdinand. [May 2007, p.158]
  4. Sadly, TAI...'s surprise maturation isn't yet 100 per cent complete.
