Nice tempo and feeling through the whole album with faster beats good for dancing and power walking. I like the blend of conventional instruments with solid guitar riffs and simple drum beats with the more unusual added electrical parts in the back. The album has captured a reckless yet laid-back vibe, like cheap beer and loud music in a dimly lit bar. The lyrics are pretty simple yet straightforward and honest. It's definitely a good album and the vibe is right up my alley, but the sound can get repetitive and despite the lyrics being good they don't really speak to me. I'll definitely keep listening to a few of the songs, Take Me Out and 40' being my favorites, but the album as a whole didn't blow me away.
