  1. The emo godfather's sixth album proves he's also gotten better in that span.
  2. The band's sixth studio album, Alter the Ending, is a perfectly blended concoction of acoustic melodies, graceful harmonies and powerful anthems wrapped around the story of a man trying desperately to save a failing relationship.
  3. 70
    Produced by power-pop whiz Butch Walker and Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger, Alter the Ending contains no shortage of high-gloss thrills.

    At it's best, Alter The Ending becomes a record about misery that's actually fun to listen to. For purists who object to such mixed messaging, there's always the deluxe edition's all-acoustic bonus disc. [13 Nov 2009, p.97]
