Another good album, but still sounds like all of the others.

I enjoy The Academy Is... in the sense that I enjoy whiney rock every now and then. The have some catchy lyrics and chords, but at the end of the day, I have a lot of trouble telling one song from the other. So, while I do enjoy TAI's music, it does have the pattern of sound repetitious, leaving me only wanting to play it every now and again. But, if you have a drive during the summer, roll down the windows and crank this. It will make for an enjoyable time.
