    They are moving on from such early influences as Jimmy Eat World to a more sophisticated, if still forceful sound as they get more playing under their belts.

    Pop sensibilities like these make some of the rhymes in the lyrics a bit predictable, but as they also result in choruses like those on 'The Joyride' and 'Circle Of Lies', it's forgivable.

    With cliches becoming scarcer, there is clearly lyrical growth evident, yet one could hardly call them ground-breaking or especially relatable.

    The hooks aren't quite as memorable as last time, and Elvis Baskette's production at times make the band sound like faceless radio rock--but the disc ultimately might soon find TFT making good on their arena-rock aspirations. [Jul 2011, p.112]

    The Verge is the sound of a band trying far too hard to hit the mark--and falling short as a direct result of that. [2 Jul 2011, p.52]

They are very influential to me, and I try to take some of their style when I write my music. This album was overall very good, and I have listened to it multiple times. The Joyride to me is the best song ever. Almost as great as a little faster, or the remedy. I think it is amazing, and just wanted to get my thoughts out. I was so excited for it I pre-oredered it, hopefully their next album is just as great.… Expand
