I distinctly remember putting the CD into my dad's car stereo right after getting it and saying "this might be softer than other stuff I listen to", and then "State of the Union" happened and he (jokingly) called me a liar. I honestly was expecting a Dashboard Confessional-style acoustic emo CD, but nope - I got some aggressive (albeit distinctly melodic) punk rock. "A casual listener who picked up a copy of the album thinking they were getting a dozen acoustic rock songs about instantly realize how mistaken they were as soon as the opening track kicked off with a loud blast of distorted guitars and Barnes' pounding drums." This part about "Swing Life Away" definitely struck me, because this is exactly what happened to me.
