    This is a surprise for me, since I'm not a very big fan of punk music. The lyrics, vocals, and music are pretty great. The - extremely - short length of the album keep it from becoming something superb, but it doesn't ruin it in any major way.

    This may be my favourite album ever. It's short, yes (this is the second review of adhamhany's that has based much of its criticism on album length - in my opinion, it doesn't really matter). Every song is extremely catchy and exciting, and the longevity keeps it from becoming repetitive. Very emo, too, so look out. This is the most genuine pop punk album I've heard in years.

    The songwriting on this album is some of the best you'll ever hear in punk music, but the instrumentals on here can get a bit repetitive.

    You couldn't accuse it of being a complicated listen. Thankfully, the truncated frustrations of Catalina Fight Song ensure Joyce Manor are still a challenging one. [26 Jul 2014, p.53]

    Even though it does occasionally dip into overly-saccharine territory--like in the largely plodding End of the Summer--it more often makes for a good match with the band's more heavily melodic--though still energetic--approach.
  3. The band has continued to expand and refine their ADD-riddle pop-punk into something more substantial and LP3 chronicles the growth in songwriting while maintaining the spastic charm of the band's earlier releases.
