After a five-year hiatus, A7 is back in top form. The vocals sound a little grittier here than on A Beggar’s Life, but the top-notch songwriting, riffy rockitude, and catchy bits are all there.

The band is older and actually wiser. Lyrics are both introspective and retrospective, and delivered in their melodic, catchy style that thankfully avoids easy dips into emo.

This isn’t a “fun” punk album, but it is a good one. Heartfelt and genuine, but it’s an easy pill to swallow.

Bottom Line: Mature melodic punk for Social D fans.
Notable Tracks: All the Happiness You Can’t Buy, As I Am, Sunday Eyes
