    Although it suffers from some disappointingly cliche lyrics, it makes up for it with swelling bombastic anthems and overly polished but nonetheless impressive layered instrumentation.

    The piano ballad "I Still Make Her Cry" stands as the lone truly intimate moment of the record which, despite its enthusiastic choruses, harbors reflective, self-doubting lyrics.
