Album Review:

"Comic Books Kept Me Up All Night" is a fun track. The chorus is catchy. It is a pretty straight forward pop-punk song, but don't let that fool you. Sometimes it is good to keep it simple.

"Admin Leaving Fun"" is an upbeat rocker that is also a storyteller song. It makes the listener imagine and relate that life can full of surprises.

"Nightcrawler" has a slight hint of a darker feel without escaping the pop-punk vibe. It definitely sounds reminiscent of the Ramones and that influence shines here. It has an adventurous feel.

"When Jimmy Talks" starts off raw and has a story to tell of a fearsome character with an ego. You just might find yourself bobbing your head from side to side in the chorus and then singing along before it is over with.
