Mar 22, 2017This is a really fun and feel good album. There are a few lackluster tracks, like Rebels With A Cause (generic and unclear) and 4-15-13 (cheesy and filled with empty platitudes, but overall, they're definitely in the minority.
It's a very good (but not all great) album.

Jan 18, 201711 Short Stories of Pain & Glory is all about our conviction, belief, the redemption we seek... and ultimately, triumph of the human spirit. Not a bad way to dropkick off the year.
