Artist: Mayday Parade
Album: Mayday Parade
Date Released: 10/4/2011
Genre: Pop Rock
It's comforting to know that a band knows when they're doing something terribly wrong. The number of co-writes to fill the void of previous guitarist/lyricist Jason Lancaster destroyed the authenticity of their sophomore effort Anywhere But Here, but their third, self-titled release is a good return to form. While it may linger on the melancholy, there are several poppy/catchy tracks, and is sure to please Mayday Parade fans (whose numbers have been struggling of late ever since the launch of Go Radio by Lancaster) The end result is still a pale reflection of A Lesson in Romantics, but as a stand-alone, their third release still manages to catapault the five-piece into the limelight, capturing some hearts along the way.
7/10
