    Four Year Strong are still trying to define where they want to be as a band. Their newest efforts has reflections of their previous fantastic albums but then lose their way with non-catchy dull tunes such as Fairweather Fan and Only the Meek Get Pinched.

    Top three songs!
    1. The Security of the Familiar
    2. Stuck In the Middle
    3. Just Drive

    This is a solid, talented and very decent record. But it lacks sparkle. It lacks charisma and personality. [12 Nov 2012, p.52]

    "We live in a time bomb that's ticking down" begins the lead single... If they keep producing music like this, their time bomb may blow up in their faces soon enough.

    FYS are still trying to figure out just who they are and who they want to be musically, and ISWSOF accurately represents that struggle.
