Every Avenue's sophomore album isn't much different from their debut released last year. Just like almost the entire Fearless Records catalogue, this record is full of pop-rock summer songs, generic vocals and guitar hooks. They sometimes speed up the pace to create a classic yet energic pop-punk ('Finish what you started') but most of the time it's quite down-tempo, going from unoriginal acoustic ballads ('The story left untold') to bad synth-driven tunes ('Clumsy little heart'), with the addition of terribly generic and cheeky lyrics ('Girl like that'). Most of the songs really feel like deja vu. At least it's not disgustingly sugar-coated, but it isn't far from showing what boys bands sound like in 2009. No creative jump over here, if Every Avenue's debut was enjoyable to you, you'll like their new set of songs as well.
