    Music saves the misfit kids, but not every pain can be walloped into submission. Beach Slang sound less interested in ripping that pain open and exposing its insides than they are in shouting over it, and The Things We Do can start to sound like an exercise in emotional extremes.

    This is Beach Slang’s core problem: they are constantly telling, never showing.

    His [James Alex's] lyrics aren't particularly strong. [No. 126, p.53]

The lyricism is spot on and the vocalist has a nice raspy voice that fits perfect over this type of production.

    The album does have one flaw of sounding a bit too samey, but with a short run time this album does not overstay it's visit.

    Lush and loud, Beach Slang's album "The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us" is a fun ride.
