    The Story So Far haven't reached for anything radically new on their self-titled album, but they've created a powerful listen that stays memorable and engaging throughout.

    It may not appeal beyond their current fanbase, but it cements The Story So Far's position near the front of the pop-punk pack. [16 May 2015, p.53]

    With The Story So Far continuing to write unapologetic good time bangers, pop punk is very much alive.

    The proof [of the band's maturity] is in each one of the songs: Every member is playing with a richness and depth that can only come from spending all this time in the studio and onstage together. [Jun 2015, p.95]
  5. At first blush, things are catchy, the drumming is incredibly interesting and it’s all over pretty quick. But delve into things, and nothing’s changed. Which is lazy on a few levels.
