Mar 17, 2017It’s emotionally rich, and intelligent, and purposeful, and firmly cohesive.
-
Mar 15, 2017It's an album that holds nothing back. [Apr 2017, p.82]
-
Mar 15, 2017YNA_AYT is without a doubt the best work of Sorority Noise’s still-nascent career, and an early frontrunner for one of the best albums of 2017. It is emotionally complex, yet full of uplifting melodies that feel designed to pull the listener--or at least Boucher--out of the dark corners of the mind.
-
Mar 23, 2017With a tangle of voices and viewpoints, both songs [“First Letter from St. Sean” and “A Better Sun”] write beyond Boucher’s near-exhaustive projections-of-self to see things from with a larger, more insightful point-of-view.
-
Mar 23, 2017It’s the kind of record that would be called “triumphant” if Boucher was in a position to enjoy any of it.
-
Mar 20, 2017These are the songs that cut deep and cut slowly.
-
Mar 17, 2017The album’s most engaging moment arrives in ‘A Portrait Of’. Giving voice to anxieties and doubts only to shatter through them with a screaming crescendo of steadfast resolve, this is the sound of Sorority Noise at their strongest.
-
Kerrang!Mar 15, 2017It's a beautiful, bruised patchwork: all fragile optimism and ebbing regret. [18 Mar 2017, p.53]
-
Mar 15, 2017Recorded with Mike Sapone of both Brand New and Taking Back Sunday fame, the album has a lot in common with the former's Deja Entendu. It's also another fierce entry in the more recent catalogue of young and earnest bands like the Hotelier and Modern Baseball who are pushing a similar message of hope in the midst of struggle.
-
Mar 17, 2017At its core, the album captures the difficulty of losing loved ones without losing faith. With You’re Not As _____ As You Think, Boucher has made a record that serves as a companion through those ups and downs of the grieving process, offering companionship and a helping hand, when such things aren’t always a given.
-
Mar 15, 2017Tonally falling somewhere between Joy, Departed and It Kindly Stopped for Me, the album's blunt confessionalism doesn't always make for an inviting world, but is nothing if not completely honest.

May 20, 2017It's amazing how a band can go from indie/pop punk one minute and write a beautiful album full of self doubt and loss. Great way to start off the year
