The uprising Dangerous Summer, a band that has been slowly making a name for themselves, especially after this album. An album that is instrumentally very well put together with the creativity of drummer Tyler Minsberg using the most of his toms to make the songs sound smoother and powerful. Take that and factor in when vocalist/guitarist AJ Perdomo shows so much honesty in all his lyrics, even if all the songs on the album are sad, but at least he's letting it all out and wants to be heard. Those two pieces put together along with great guitar work complementing each song makes this one powerful album.
The catchiest songs and the best songs on this album are "No One's Gonna Need You More" and "Miscommunication." Both are very upbeat songs that are the gems, with "No One's Gonna Need You More" as the most relateable (I couldn’t make it past those eyes/I think I feel like the wind/sometimes, I wish we’d try to begin/no one’s gonna need you more). The most powerful songs are "Work In Progress" and "Parachute" where AJ really gets deep with his lyrics (I parachute alone/I’m a life that’s not worth saving/It’s apparent I won’t slow down yet/I take control of that feeling you don’t care to believe in). "Good Things" and "Siren" have my favorite choruses, with the drummer going off on the toms in "Good Things." With "I Should Leave Right Now" have the best guitar lines hands down and the closer "Waves" that has a little bit of everything to wrap up this solid album.
The only thing I would ask for is AJ to write a happy song, life isn't so bad every now and then. Also, to create a little more diversity with the songs, but that isn't too much of a problem. The Dangerous Summer have a bright future for themselves and have the potential to be one of those big upcoming bands. More people should take a listen to these guys, because they will be satisfied.
I give this album a 8.0/10
