“Watch it Burn” is the perfect choice for a lead off track. It gives you an introduction to the band’s style, and it’s fast with enough of an edge to catch your attention. I love the pacing of the song, I love the lyrics. Okay, I pretty much love everything about it.

“Midnight Romeo” has been described by several of my friends as “Push Play’s dirty song,” and I don’t disagree. Listen to the lyrics and it’s easy to understand just what it is that the song is about, but I love the sound anyway. It’s infectious. Any time I hear the song, it’s in my head for the rest of the day. I also love the tongue in cheek aspect of some of the lyrics like “tonight your dinner’s free/what’s in it for me.” Everything just works so well here, and it’s definitely one of my favorite tracks.

“Heart Attack” begins with a steady beat that definitely serves to get your heart pumping right along with the music. It’s a fast song about suffering a broken heart, and I love that it’s as fast as it is. Songs about broken hearts seem to waver between being mournful ballads and revenge dance anthems these days, but I really love their take on it.

“Taking it Back” starts off with this odd electronic sound that made me think I wasn’t going to like the song, but I was wrong. It definitely has a little bit of a 1990s boy band feel to it, but that really works in its favor. It’s got a quick pop beat, but the sound still manages to hold on to some edge. A fun song to listen to.

“My Everything” is your basic cheesy love song with some rock flavor. I’ll be honest. It wouldn’t even matter what the music sounded like on this one, well, maybe not much. I love the lyrics that much. It doesn’t even matter that some of them are ridiculously cheesy. They give you the impression that a young woman should be belting this out with a Kelly Clarkson-esque voice, but that’s not the approach the band takes at all. And it’s great.

“Covergirl” is an interesting song. It reminds me of a cross between LFO’s “Girl On TV” and the older song “Centerfold.” It’s all about falling in love with the “girl in the magazine.” It might not be the most meaningful song ever, but it’s fun. I think it’s easy for teens to relate to crushing on someone they might not even know as well.

“This is Us Breaking Up (Better Off)” might just be another break-up song about being better without being in a toxic relationship, but really, who doesn’t love those? I know I’m a sucker for them, and this one is great. I don’t think CJ’s lead vocals sound quite the same as they usually do here. He sounds a little more boy band than rock and roll, but that‘s not necessarily a bad thing.

“See My Soul” is my favorite from the album. I love it. Musically, it isn’t leaps and bounds away from the rest of the tracks, but lyrically, it’s my favorite. The opening lines of being on a train and avoiding meeting the gazes of the strangers is my favorite part of the whole song, but I do love the need to let someone in to save the relationship that might have been damaged from the history or the differences you have. It’s fantastic.

“Barely Legal” is equal parts funny, endearing, sweet, and just plain fun. About a young woman who runs off, leaving the singer crushed when he’s “barely legal,” the song is clearly about the one who got away. It borrows phrases we are all familiar with, like “I want you to want me,” but the song is fresh and clever. Definitely one that gets stuck in my head.

“Away, Away” sounds great. It’s a really fun song to listen to. The guy coaxing the girl to take him back, promising she won’t regret it, then singing about taking her breath away, might sound a little cocky to the untrained ear, but it’s so fun. I had the windows open in my apartment when I was listening to it for the first time, and I even heard some neighbors start singing along.

“Where I Belong” has a bittersweet tone to it. It’s about the guy leaving at the end of his senior year for California, leaving behind all of his friends and his girl. I like this song, but I kid of wish there was at least another verse, more story, because the chorus is pretty repetitive (as a chorus is supposed to be, obviously), and I want to know more about what happens. By the time the first chorus rolls around, I’m invested in the situation, but then I never find out what happens.

“Start Again“ has us all wishing we could just go back and fix that one mistake that led to a relationship failing. I love the song, but I have one criticism: parts of the song have way too many backing vocals. The backing vocals don’t bother me on any other track, but for some reason, I feel like they went just a little too far with them on this one.

“Midnight Romeo (Remix).” Okay, I can’t lie about this. As much as I love the song in general, I don’t understand why this is on the album. The remix is not crazy different from the original, not in a dramatic way. I feel like I just have an extra copy of the song, which really, is fine with me, because, as I said, I love it. I just don’t understand the need for the remix.

Ultimately, while there are a few little things that I might have nit picked here and there, the album is great. It’s the kind of music I want to listen to full blast, which is rare for me. I’d definitely recommend you go out and buy it if you even think you might like only one or two of the songs. Chances are, you’ll love the rest.
