We Cry is a sad song, one that reflects the dark spots in the world we live in. At the same time that it spotlights different stories and makes you feel sorry for the people in the song, it's a unifying track. There's a reason the title has the word “we” in it. It has the same feel of songs like “Where Is The Love” or TLC's “Waterfall.” Even though it's sad, you want to listen.

Before the Worst has to be one of my favorite tracks on the album. (You're going to notice that I'll be saying that a lot though.) It's a break-up song, one of regret. Yeah, it might have a typical pop-rock sound, but I love the quick fire of the verses and the smoothness of the chorus. It sounds great.

Talk You Down is another one of my favorites. I love the idea of standing on a ledge and preparing to jump as a metaphor for a relationship ending. It makes for a really graphic image in your mind while you're listening to it, and it gives the song a lot of weight. Love this one.

The Man Who Can't Be Moved makes me think of a cross between John Mayer and a '90s boy band. I know that sounds like a weird combination, but I don't know how else to describe the sound. It's a love song about not giving up, and it's another track that I love. It's like each song just gets better as you go through the disc.

Breakeven, as I said, was the first song I heard by The Script. It's a song I never get sick of listening to. It's catchy, but not in the way that bubblegum pop is catchy. It still gets stuck in your head, but it doesn't make you want to forget the lyrics when you've sung them to yourself for the millionth time. The guys really know how to write a break-up song.

Rusty Halo doesn't sound anything like the first five tracks. It's not a love song, not a break-up song, maybe not even quite as catchy as the earlier songs either, but it's a nice change-up. If I had to compare it to another band's sound, I'd probably go with Boys Like Girls, but that still doesn't quite cover it. Definitely a unique track on the list.

The End Where I Begin has an interesting sound to it. It's slower moving to start with, and there are a lot more high notes, but it really works for the band. Again, much different from the earlier tracks, but a good choice to change up the track list.

Fall For Anything pulls its lyrics from the famous phrase “If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.” It's a song about standing up for yourself, about opening your eyes, about not being naïve, and it's directed at a girl. It's a nice change of pace when so many of today's songs are about winning over the girl, or focus on getting a girl out of her clothes. This song wants the girl to keep her clothes on. Very nice.

If You See Kay has a great beat. It's not exactly a dance song, but it definitely makes me tap my toe along to the music. Another song about a broken heart, and another good one. Like I said, the guys of The Script are great at break-up songs. I hope they didn't have to go through too much for their inspiration.

I'm Yours is the perfect closing track (but it isn't really, because there is a bonus track). Even though it shares its title with a Jason Mraz song, it sounds nothing like it. It's slow, and it flows so well. The lyrics are beautiful. A great way to wind down the album.

The bonus track is Anybody There, and it's okay, but I don't like it quite as much as everything else on the album, so I understand why it was chosen as a bonus instead of appearing on the actual track listing. The music sweeps you along with the lyrics, but it doesn't stand out like the other songs.

As is probably evident from my frequent mentioning of one track or another being great or counted amongst my favorites, I love this CD. It's fantastic. If you haven't heard of The Script, or your familiarity with them ends with what you've heard on the radio, you should give the album a chance. One warning though: a couple of the tracks do feature the use of pretty strong expletives, so if that bothers you, I'd understand if you skipped out on the disc. Although the only tracks that feature them are “We Cry” and “Fall for Anything,” so you could just skip those two songs and you'd still be listening to an amazing album.
