    This band definitely shows some promise & potential on this album. On the better tracks they manage to come through with some really fun, engaging & heartfelt pop-punk. But unfortunately for about half the time everything just kinda blends together for me & this band in general doesn't come off as distinct or memorable as I feel they could be. 67/100

    It's a little formulaic, but that doesn't matter when it sounds so hard-hitting. [21 Dec 2013, p.70]

    These guys have created a pop-punk album that isn't timeless, but that's not the point. Wishful Thinking, by design, tells the story of a point in time, one that only has meaning because it won't last.

    For all their technical skill, there's something terribly generic about this band, who don't seem to have a fresh or distinctive move in their entire repertoire as they bounce through their cookie-cutter tunes.
