Fortunately, their major-label debut Morning Over Midnight manages not to get caught in that trap. From the infectious sing-along chorus of songs like the lead single "The Mess" to the more introspective emo-oriented sounds of "Touch of One," this disc serves up 10 cuts of solid songwriting that manage to be different enough to not become monotonous, but still fit together as a cohesive package. Most of songs are upbeat with crunchy distorted guitars, including the heavy groove of "Vegas," returning from 2005's Bella EP. These songs are offset by the acoustic and clean electric sounds of songs like "Blame It On You," with a riff somewhat reminiscent of Sevendust's "Angel's Son." The vocals on the disc show some ponkmo influence and sometimes sound a bit too much like Blink-182 for my liking, but generally the slightly gritty sound gives good texture and feeling without resorting to incoherent screaming.
